If I dont want to use PayPal what are other options?

Question

say i want to buy something from someone online. i dont want to use paypal cos i read horror stories about paypal stealing people's money. the other person doesnt really want to give their name out so what are my options? how else can i pay that person?

Answer 1

YES - " PAYPAL " decides to keep your money if the account ain't used for a while.  THEY DID IT TO ME, AND OTHERS THAT I KNOW>

WHAT I DO IS THE FOLLOWING - IF someone only accepts  PAYPAL, shop elsewhere, where credit cards, cashiers' checks, or money orders are accepted. REMEMBER THIS - " YOUR MONEY IS GOOD ANYWHERE, AND YOU DON'T NEED THE BUSINESS........THEY NEED YOU "

THAT'S WHY I SHOP AMAZON, instead of E-BAY.  I also shop OVERSTOCK DOT COM ,  and BORDERS

Answer 2

Some online buyers will allow you to send a check/money order but they will delay shipping your item until the check clears.

Answer 3

you can use your master card, SMS Payment ,Debit Cards phone.  

Answer 4

You dont.I HATE PAY PAL!!!! They took $645.00 from me because I didnt have all my personal info they were asking for!!!  I sold alot of stuff on E-Bay...DONT USE THEM!  If there isnt another way of paying that person then go look somewhere else. Its not worth it!! :) TRUST ME,BEEN THERE!!!  

Answer 5

I've been using paypal for years, never had any problems.

You could get a credit card with a very low credit limit and just use it for on-line purchases.Than  it would be easier to dispute if you  have a problem. If a seller doesn't want to supply their name. don't trust them. Never, never  use a debit card.
