Paypal

So all someone needs to put money into my paypal account is the my email, the one its registered with!??

1) Set up an account with paypal and give them your banking information
2) They send your account a deposit (just a few cents) in order to confirm that the information was correct.
3) Making payments: Money is automatically withdrawn from your bank account under the paypal name
4) Receiving payments: Money is deposited into your paypal account and it is up to you to then transfer into your bank account.

Not doubting what fastspider said about getting your money out of them but I personally haven't had any problems. THIS statement though, "Never ever give your paypal information out to an email requesting it because paypal does not send out emails asking for your information and never will and scammers do." Is a DEFINATE!! Lucky enough for me that my bank was wondering why I was making purchases in Romania! They cancelled all transactions and issued me a new number in which I had to straighten up my paypal account with the new information so BEWARE!!

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

5) Don't keep your money in paypal. It's not uncommon for them to freeze your account. PayPalSucks.com is where you will learn about the PayPal Class Action Lawsuit, Abuse, Fraud & evil behind the PayPal system!, but if you're smart and using it for legal reasons and small personal transactions you should be fine. :hippy:

That's right.

re. Phishing...
The scammers have other ways of finding out you have a paypal account.
For example, if you win an auction that says 'paypal only'.

So what about paypal with different countries for example if i was selling something that was £50 and someone had $500 or whatever in their paypal account but in american dollars does it translate it automatically or what?

Hi CC,

PayPal's easy once you know the in's & out's.

Don't EVER reply to an email claiming to be from PayPal.
ALWAYS log into PayPal and forward the email to them using their online contact page.

If someone you have to pay for something in US $$'s and you only have GB ££'s in your PayPal account, it DOESN'T matter.

You just sign-in to PayPal, go to 'Send Money' page, CHOOSE which currency you would like to pay with, e.g. US $$'s, Euro's, Yen's, Aussie $$'s, etc., type in the amount you want to pay and PayPal does the rest. PayPal's exchange rate isn't as good as it should be though; for example you'll pay around £27 for a $50 transaction, while it should be £25 at today's exchange rate.

Hope that helps mate???

If you want anymore info, just post, OK??

Cheers,
