Made an Ebay account and not sure whether to use Paypal or what. What should I do?

Question

Okay, so I've made an Ebay account due to the fact I saw quite a few things I've liked on auction, of course. But I'm pretty wary of using Paypal, I've heard a lot of bad things about it so I don't know how to approach the situation. I was thinking of using money orders but I don't think the majority of the sellers would accept those. Any advice?

Answer 1

I've never had any problems with PayPal and I've bought my fair share of things off Ebay.

Answer 2

i use pigeons. ask the seller if they take them. they usually do unless they live in a place where pigeons dont like to go

Answer 3

I have used paypal for both buying and selling, without any problems. The nice thing about using it when you buy is if there is a problem they will help you to get it resolved or your money back. I had to use them once and got all my money back.

Answer 4

I have been using paypal for a few years now and so far I don't have any problem with them.

Just be careful and don't simply click on any links from your email requesting for account updates.

Good luck.

Answer 5

I am weary of PP too but til the next thing comes out, use is

cautiously.
