I love paypal. Its never let me down.

paypal is great and it allows you to make safe transactions even if you are purchasing something from gumtree. it is great to have a way to recover your money in case you need to.

I buy a lot online. As long as it’s through PayPal and you check out the seller thoroughly, you’re pretty right. I avoid clothes and shoes though as its too hard to get the size right

For the most part, I have heard Paypal is worthwhile.

After watching ‘A Current Affair’ tonight, I am so pleased that I always do all my on-line dealings with Paypal. It is so easy to be ripped off online and this was by a supposed company that had been given the nod as a great innovator by the Shark Tank. Go figure!

I wouldn’t shop online if I couldn’t use Paypal. They have saved me a few times over the years. Best thing ever and no cost. What more could you want

How timely is this? I have only this week had my bank account hacked through using my debit card for online purchasing. The Fraud Dept with my bank is investigating it but the inconvenience to me of having to replace my card, wait 5-7 business days for it to arrive, and to notify all of my direct debitors is just plain infuriating. And all because someone illegally and criminally made purchases using my card details. Apparently a trusted Australian merchant was hacked but I don’t know which one (although I can trace the 3 I’ve purchased with in the last week or so) and nobody, not even my bank notified me. I will be opening up a Paypal account today.

The one thing I don’t like when you buy something online and want to return it. It’s just a hassle. I ordered shoes not so long ago and the price was including postage & packaging. My ordered shoe arrived in a different color and I wanted to return the item and asked for the right color to be send to me. However the shoes came from Germany and I had to pay $40 postage to return them….all because someone makes a mistake at the other end !

  That’s quite unfair! You shouldn’t have to pay those 40 dollars at all!

Useful for online shopping.Thaks for sharing.

I think I am fairly good at this. If I like something I will think on it for quite some time before choosing to buy it online.

Wow ,I did not know this about paypal. Yes it offers a lot of guarantees, but I am still wary of using it. I have never had a problem returning products that are faulty or the wrong size… most of the time you can do it in store.

I have a friend who tried to make a purchase via paypal. Apparently there is a business connection between the bank and paypal. There was plenty of money in the lady’s bank account. She also had advance funds in her paypal account. She checked that on-line, so did a trusted friend yet the transaction wouldn’t work. It took a few emails over a period of 4 working days before the transaction could successfully be made.

love the safety of Paypal.

I did not know you could use paypal for hotels.

PayPal is all I will use through the eBay just for that added protection with people I do not know. Great concept and happy customer.

Yes I have. I had something not turn up. Contacted the business, was refunded without question

I like the extra protection Paypal gives for my card details.

This is great to know as i actually wasn’t aware of this

I regularly use my PayPal account. It’s so easy and safe indeed!

Thank you for this information. So far I have not had a bad online shopping experience.
