pay-pal

[tilt]

What do I need to have for getting a pay-pal account?
Do I need to have a credit-cart or is it enough to have a giro-account at my local bank?
How safe is that?
How does it work?

Dont want to send always letters. Takes much time and isnt safe at all, so it would be nice to paypal I think. But if I need to have a credit-card it wont work for me.

Thanx for the answers in advance.

Hi m8,

Not sure about giro-account at your local bank but I know its easy to use, and safe. Just watch for those dodge spam emails you get asking for private info.

I use my Switch/Maestro. just enter my details once then select the persons email address to receive the funds.

Guess you would have to visit https://www.paypal.com/ and have a look around to see if there is any info.

It is piss easy and safe, for the UK you can pay via card or direct from your bank.

But yep you have to watch out for dodgy emails, if you ever get an email from Paypal asking you to update your credit card details or the will put you account on hold just delete it, they are usually bogus.

It is safe hun, I have used it for years, but like others have said you will have to watch out for the dodgy emails you get. Once you have registered they deduct 2 amounts of money from your account then once your statement is in or if you can access your account online and find out what the 2 amounts are then you will have to verify your account. Then your up and away .

Good Luck with it fella
