PayPal is an online payment processor most commonly used for sending and receiving money for online auction purchases, but many websites now accept PayPal as a payment option due to its popularity. PayPal was bought by eBay, so now it is heavily integrated with the eBay sites. PayPal lets people send money from a credit or debit card into another PayPal account as payment for goods or services. Money in a PayPal account can also be sent to another ...

Review of PayPal

Paypal is a great online web site and money management tool that is a must have to go along with your E-bay account. It speeds up processes for both buyers and sellers on E-bay, plus there are possibly thousands of web sites that now except Paypal as a payment method.

...I had heard of Paypal and decided to investigate both this and some of the other automated payment sites. I decided to go for Paypal for two reasons – firstly I read some of the opinions here on Ciao and it sounded good, and secondly that Ebay have just taken over Paypal and so logically it must be the ideal choice for proceeds of Ebay auctions. Easy Registration I found it extremely easy to register with Paypal. They ask for the basic information ...

I then had to set up the details of my credit card, or I could have used a debit card, which I would use to add funds to my Paypal account. This was irrelevant to me, as I was only intending to use Paypal as a receiving account at the time. To make sure that the card you have registered is valid $1.95 is taken from that card, which was ...
