I don't care for paypal. I know some people find it useful. I just see it as another "middle man" - an extra step in the purchasing process. It uses your credit [debit] card number anyway. I'd rather have the charge directly to the merchant.

i love paypal for making purchases online. the way i look at it it deceases the chances that your information will be stolen. the more you give your information banking credit etc the more likely it is to be stolen. nothing is fool proof and identity theft is really a question of when but for me at least paypal helps decease the chances that it will be stolen  :rainbow: :rose: :peace: :wave:
Be grateful for what you have and you will receive more than you ever expected

If you believe it you can achieve it.

I have to say I am a Paypal fan too.  I do think it adds another level of security online.  However the ease of it does lend toward me spending more.  Just a few click and purchase complete.  I have to go get the credit card, lol!! 
I have a friend with small business and Paypal with their card swiper for smart phone was cheaper option than what the banks were offering for taking credit cards!

I love love love paypal.  Selling things on ebay and than having the money available on debit makes juggeling funds so easy for us.  Before I had the debit card it was okay.. but now that I have that all set up I'm totally digging paypal.  I wish they would open up check deposits with a smart phone.  I'd go out and buy myself one if they did and close all my bank accounts...course than I'd have to close my paypal account too.

I really like PayPal as a general rule.  I think your transactions are as safe if not safer there than with a credit card.

I really like Paypal. i think i it's safer than giving online merchants your bank account number or credit card number. Also, with paypal  I can choose which account to take the funds from.

In the past, PayPal was the processor to use.  But now there have been so many changes with them that people are leaving in flocks.

Since you have to use it for Ebay I just got use to using it for almost everything. It saves time and you don't have to give your credit card info out to everyone under the sun. Plus when you get paid for sites like these it works really well too.

I like Paypal.  I use Paypal for Fusion Cash direct deposit, then just deposit right into my bank account, so easy.
I remember back in the day when Paypal was just starting up, they used to give $5.00 to anyone who would sign up to use Paypal.  The good ole internet days  :)

I don't really know how to use pay-pale i was always worried about it not being very secure but it would be nice to use for FC so i don't have to wait so long for my check to arrive.

I've heard both negative and positive things about Paypal; but so far my experience has been positive.

I prefer making payments with my CC more then just using my CC by itself more safer to me.
