Jang's post made me wonder what people think about using paypal to purchase items online.
I used to have a paypal account back around 2000 when I was selling a lot of quail eggs online.
I quickly got tired of paying the fees and always worried about someone accessing my bank information and cleaning out my account. I had around 50small transactions a week and paypal really stuck it to me on per transaction fees.
Currently I ship around 12 orders of pigeons a week and a lot of people do ask me if I take paypal.
I have only been taking USPS money orders, because they are extremely safe and I use them to pay the shipping when I can cash them at the post office.
My bank charges me when I recieve a bad money order or check and about half of the other money orders I get are fake, so I only take the USPS ones.
How safe is paypal?
What are the pros and cons of using it?
Am I protected if someone uses a stolen credit card or someone elses bank account to pay me for pigeons?
How safe is it to access my bank account on line?
I have virus and spy ware protection on my computer and I do update them often and frequently run full system checks.
Thank you for your input.
