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 use both paypal and ebay. I have for many years. I buy on ebay and sell on ebay as well.

More and more sites are accepting paypal as a form of payment so people don't have to put their cc info online. I use it whenever it's accepted. It's great and it only costs if you are the seller.

Ebay can be a goldmine for just about anything you need from a button to a car. The key is reading seller feedback. Look for duration as a seller, high rating (I won't use anyone with less than 98%), and number of transactions. You don't want a seller who has a 100% rating but has only sold 5 items. Ebay has a fantastic system of checks and balances for problem transactions. They will mediate on your behalf if necessary and the unhappy buyer is usually going to get results.
