I have been using papal for about a year now. great idea - makes ebaying easy,and love the way i can purchase things overseas with my australian account - very helpful for my recent trip to the us.

Basically easy to understand and use and a great service. Only con - i dont like their fees - esp after ebay also charges fees. they should combine them or something.

Pay pal is fantastic. Easy to use and as long as you take necessary safety precautions is is a very safe way to pay for items on the Internet. They even have a guarantee so you can get your money back if problems unresolved with the seller.

I use Paypal as i know it is one of the safest way to pay when i am shopping on-line. It is so so easy and secure and is covered if anything goes wrong. I always try to shop with stores that offer Paypal as a payment method when shopping on-line. I've never had an issue in the last couple of years of using Paypal. The only downfall is if you are selling something (say on eBay) as the fees start to add up. But simply buying something it is the only way to go!

I just used paypal recently to pay for some classes, it was easy to use and safe. Great payment method. It gave me the option of registering or use my existing details.

I have been using paypal for over 5 years now. I love it. Its simple layout makes it great! Adding and removing CCs. The only downer is not being able to add a CC card already on another users' account. And, the amount of digital-work required for not-for-profit organization to complete is not pleasant.

Approximate cost: $None

I use paypal almost everyday as I do a lot of online purchasing. It is a good and safe facility if you are paying for goods/service online as it protects you. However, as a seller, it is not so womow! The customer service is mostly online based, it's hard to talk to a person directly on the phone.

I HAD A PROBLEM WITH A TRANSACTION FROM EBAY AND IT WAS SORTED OUT VERY PROMPTLY BY PAYPAL STAFF

Never had a problem using paypal and the convenience of it is great. Fees are a little annoying at times but overall great to use.

I have been using Paypal for many years now, since they were first developed. I find them to be an easy way of making payments online. I use them as a preferred payment method to businesses, and to orchestrate sales through online auction and sales sites.
It can be slightly annoying when fees are involved to process the funds, although using the 'gift' option usually takes care of that.

PayPal doesn't always protect you, i have had too many experiences where they say they will chase the seller on eBay, and i do not recieve a refund. Not strictly receive fault, but something that needs to be fixed. good idea, wish it would help us before and after we are scammed though.
