And don't forget you have to be 18 or older

I hate paypal. I wish there was another way to pay. Oh well...

One of these days I'm gonna make a paypal account (even though they are evil) just so that I can have a Premium Membership.

^ I don't think there's anything evil with Paypal. My family has an one since 2001.

tomserwin · 12-10-2007, 07:17 PM

^ I know a lot of people who have been totally worked over by Paypal. Some of my friends refuse to use Paypal and ebay because of how terrible paypal is.

Unfortunately, a lot of the time that I have seen, when Paypal/Ebay are misused is when there's typically a problem, and a lot of these are caused by other people (disputes about products on EBAY seems to be a big issue). Tom, I'm not saying your friends may not have had legitimate complaints about Paypal, but anytime you involve products from EBAY or you are ordering products from a person instead of an actual company, you run the risk of being ripped off. That's not a flaw in Paypal neccessarily.

You can also run into problems if you unknowingly enter into a recurring payment that's automatically deducted without your knowledge.

Personally I've used Paypal for over 8 years and have never had an issue (and I've processed numerous transactions). Your mileage may vary, of course.

^ Good point.

reillysix · 12-10-2007, 08:58 PM

Chris has good points, Paypal is really convenient, your friends may of been trying to do something that you may never want or have to do with your account. I doubt that if you don't have an account by now, you're planning on doing major transactions. When it comes to basic use, it's as easy as clicking a button and typing in your password. It REALLY simple to use after you have all of you bank account/credit card info entered. I wouldn't let one complaint stop you from getting an account on Paypal, if you're using it only for buying things from eBay or buying a Premium Membership, you will have no problems.

I've been interested in joining the Premium Membership too. And now that I actually have a good job, I can do that, but I'll wait until after the Holidays! Craziness with the presents and food! It's just too much!!!
