I have earned around 6$ in mylot and by the time it reaches $10 the amount will transfer to paypal.
I'm worried because I'm the type of person who is paranoid in these sorts of things that relates to money. I might lose more than earn because there are tons of ways to scam from credit card.
I think the amount can not be withdrawn from the card because it is a 'credit card' not debit. I'm sort of new in this stuff and I'm sure tons of mylot users would know this. Could somebody explain? Like, can I use credit card? Is it dangerous? Is paypal safe? Could other people take money from my paypal account?

Hi there! If you are from the Philippines, you can link your local bank account. Do not worry because Paypal is a safe and secured money transfer processor. Aside from that, you can link an ATM account under the "Add Credit/Debit card account" as long as said account has Mastercard logo or Visa logo. If you do not have those ATM accounts, you may apply for an "EON CARD" at Union Bank. There is no maintaining balance. Just pay the annual fee of P350. upon getting the card. Then you can link that account already.

Oh, I didn't knew these. I'll ask my mom about applying for one. But I don't think she'll let me have a second credit card. (Although I barely used what I have now)
Because I'm still starting with having one.

I have been using paypal for at least five years. No problem at all and it has reliable services. If you are scared that someone would cheat you, then use a debit card rather than a credit card to link.
Having paypal around is important if you want to earn online. It is still the best and stable one around.

Wow, thank you ^_^ Then that means I can use credit card. Although a debit card is safer, credit card can be connected to paypal. Thanks a lot creationhub!!
Paypal is very useful, I can also purchase online too. I don't go out very often, and one problem is I don't know how to commute to far places. There's this bookstore that sell second hand books in a far place called Recto but it's sort of dangerous because of thugs. So I'd rather buy them from second hand stores online. Hehe ^_^ thanks again!!

Hi there! Before I tried to answer your discussion, I checked on your profile because my answer will be based on what country you are in to. Since, you are from the Philippines, if you doubt with linking your credit card to your paypal acoount. You can link your local bank account under the "Add Bank account" on your profile. Or if you have ATM cards that has Mastercard or Visa on said account, you can link it under the "Add Credit/Debit card". Or you may apply an EON CARD at Union bank. That is very safe my friend. So you do not worry about it.

Does it have to be either mastercard or visa? What if I have another kind of card? will it not work?

Hi Oxyde,
I was really nervous about all this too when I first started. I asked a lot of people who had used pay pal for a long time. I do believe they are very secure and safe. The hardest for me was connecting them to my bank account and getting the Paypal debit card. I did it and it's been a couple of years now and so far no problems at all with it. It's pretty handy really. I tuck the card away in my wallet and don't think on it and let my earnings build up. It's come in handy a couple of times when I thought I was broke and needed something.

Thanks for the assurance. Can I have a credit card connected instead of a debit card? Christmas is coming and I was hoping I could earn some here and use it to purchase a gift for my sister.

nobody can take your money from ur paypal account. Remember paypal charges $5 to transfer the amount to the account. I think you should keep on collecting money in your paypal account till you collect a good amount in it. Then you should transfer. I use paypal money to buy things online, or make any sort of online payment. Hope this will help you. have a nice day

Oh, does that mean I don't have to connect the credit? I can still purchase online as long as I've collected money in paypal? Thanks a lot rizzu! I feel eased and also less paranoid about paypal.

i think not. i have paypal account and paypal have strict rules, if you open your paypal account you must use same IP, or paypal will limit your transaction and you can draw your money.
but i wonder, you just have a "160" but how could you can get $10 ?

no, not $10.. I've only earned $6..
I don't know anything about IP, what is it? I have limited withdrawal for money? But I can use all of the debit balance for online purchases right?

I don't think it's safe, make sure you logout your paypal account when you log in a public pc.
