Paypal help me please.I created an account on paypal and need help please,,,,,

Thanks for your advice.I have 1 question though.For ebay if i decide to use it there do i need to have an account on ebay in order to purchase something?

Yes, you would have to create an ebay account if you wish to spend it there. There is no charge to do that though, just be sure and check the sellers shipping and handling costs before you purchase anything, in order to make certain that you have enough money. There are many retailers though that are now using paypal too. I am really surprised, it is great.

Thanks so much for the information it was helpfull.I felt liek an ediot for posting this discussion but i really needed help and what better way to get help than ask over the internet.So my lot will be able to put the money in my paypal account even if my account is not verified and there is no credit or info on my bank?I will be able to still use it for ebay just to reconfirm that i understood you properly?Please be patient with me i am new to all of this.

Thanks for starting this thread as I was also skeptical about sending my bank info over net. I guess if we can withdraw money without verifying the account its okay. I was wondering how will I take out my money. I think you really helped me too by starting this thread.

Thanks for your posting.Your very intellegent for doing that.Happy holidays paranoia caution :) to you and to ur beloved ones.

Hmmmm, "You can trust PayPal..." I beg to differ - no you can't. Or to put an alternate viewpoint, you MAY trust them until they do the Royal Dirty on YOU. And there are LOTS of people who have been done over by PayPal. It's a little like a Payment Processing service being run by the Mafia (no disrespect intended to the Mafia). They have a legitimate business going, but they'll have no hesitation whatsoever in squashing anyone who they take a disliking to, or just for the Hell of it even (Hell with a capital "H" because it's a real place, and that's where PayPal will eventually go). I actually HAVE a PayPal account, but it has NEVER been used, not even ONCE. It was black-banned by PayPal back in 2003, when they were being sued in a Californian Class Action Lawsuit for ripping off their customers blind - which they lost in early 2004. I made the almighty mistake of declining a UNILATERAL revision of PayPal's customer "agreement" during the midst of that lawsuit when PayPal was frantically trying to cover its big, fat, ugly, hairy, crooked BUTT. So they LOCKED my account (which had never been used anyway) PERMANENTLY. Further, they also LOCKED any of the DETAILS associated with that account (name, address, phone no, bank and credit account details, etc) from EVER being used to create a NEW PayPal account! So I have a PayPal account which can NEVER be used, and I can NEVER EVER create a NEW PayPal account. And why? Because I was so foolish as to CROSS PayPal when it was being sued for being a bunch of underhanded crooks - which they still are, by the way. I get a farcical run-around by PayPal whenever I approach them on this subject. You can bet there's an awful lot of OTHER poor dumb schmucks just like me out there - PayPal roadkill, for want of a better description. All I can say is, thank goodness there are an increasing number of alternative payment processors becoming available on the Internet.

Incidentally, in line with my previous comments, PayPal is apparently now owned by eBay, ie, it's an "eBay company". But IMO apparently the crooked, bash-artist, monopolising CULTURE upon which PayPal was built hasn't changed - whatever eBay has gotten it's hands on, it's just as bad as it ever was... If anything, the PayPal story is remarkably similar to the Microsoft story - lots of roadkill from crooked practices in both cases.

Thanks for the information.I have a question though about your comment.If you ont use paypal now how does my lot pay you doug?
