re: Paypal and Ebay

[certainthings]

Dear Everyone Who Replied To My Last Post,

Thank you for your input. One day in the future when I have some money, I think that I shall set up a Paypal account with my debit card. And spend money.

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to use my debit card (I have a credit card but I want Paypal for my debit) but according to the site, it seems that I can.

And lo, that is good.

Thank you. You're wonderful.

Sincerely,
Me.

I have my new PayPal account linked to the debit account...

You are in Canada, yes? You can NOT link a PayPal to your debit card if you are in Canada. The site claims you can, but it doesn't accept Canadian debit cards. I've tried it, but because you can't use our debit cards like credit cards, it doesn't work. I've tried over and over and over again to link my debit card to PayPal, and it does NOT work.

You have to have some form of credit card, even if it's a $10 prepaid credit card, to have a "verified" account. Otherwise you can just transfer money from your bank account to your PayPal account, and that will be accepted.

I've used paypal for years and have never had a problem with it.
I've only used ebay once and that was fine too, though I'm still weary of the site.
I don't trust people when they say their merchandise is genuine.
