which is safer?

Paypal is great, never had a problem with them. I use direct deposit for now.

I have a PayPal Account, but I always get a check. I don't know why I do it that way.

Personally, I say PayPal.  It's faster and very reliable.  But like a lot of the other here have said, it's really a personal choice.

Never had any problem with either one. Sometimes a check can be hard to cash if you don't have a bank account.

I'd go with paypal, personally.  No hassle that way, with a check you need to go to the bank; with paypal you just sit at your computer.
