Paypal and Ebay

[certainthings]

Do you have a Paypal account?
Do you like it?
Have you had any problems with it?
Also with Paypal can you use a debit card instead of a credit card?

Do you shop on eBay?
Have you had a lot of luck with it?
Have you ever been ripped off?


Sometimes I think I'd like to use these things. But. I just. I just don't know if I trust things.

I've shopped on eBay a lot and only been ripped off once. When I've had problems with some things, they were usually resolved rather quickly. A few months ago I ordered a powercord and it stopped working within a few weeks. I had to send back the broken one, but they immediately shipped me another one even before they got the broken one back. You can find a lot of good deals and sometimes people will pay a LOT for lame stuff you never use, which is always a bonus.

I use Paypal for that and a lot of other things online. Never had any issues with it, though it's a little frustrating sometimes how slow it can be to transfer funds to a paypal account or from paypal to a bank account. And yes, I have my paypal hooked up through my debit card/bank account.

Fun fact, one of the guys who invented paypal is now working as an independent rocket scientist so...yeah.
