I have been using paypal for years and I have never had any problems. One of the safest ways of buying things online.

Thanks a lot to all of you for this information...im quite naive about online transactions after hearing some negative stories from other people regarding online purchases with their credit cards. I may not have clearly stated my message, pardon me but i have read that the myLot monetary rewards will be course through Paypal. What i understand, I have to purchase online a Paypal card through a credit card so that my monetary rewards here will be put in my paypal account

If you mean using a credit card on someone's site to pay them through PayPal, it's as trustworthy as any other online banking transaction - in other words, normally it's OK. I've also used PayPal with a linked debit card for years and have never had a problem. Take the usual precautions and you'll be fine.

My guess - and this is only a guess - is that a CC is compulsory for your country. Here in the UK, we can use either. That may only be for verification, too. An unverified account can still receive funds that you can use online - you just can't withdraw anything to a bank account.

You want to use credit card on paypal to purchase things? You can trust paypal. I have been cashed out more than 20 times on paypal with my debit card.

You don´t "purchase" paypal. But your credit card makes paypal trust you as a verified member. I have been withdrawing for years from paypal to my credit card. They charge you a bit for the trasaction as any other Bank would do. Paypal is a serious virtual Bank. You can also buy online with paypal with no problem at all.

I am not quite sure what you mean but you can transfer money into paypal from your bank account and also from paypal to your bank account I hope this helps you.
