Opinions Related to PAYPAL

02/13/2012 1:50 PM

Hi to all members: I want to buy some products (at dealextreme.com) and I am considering using the services of Paypal. Is it safe this service? Anyone have any experience in using it?

Thanks in advance

Gabriel

I've used it a few times. Never had a problem with it. The websites I've shopped at imply it is very safe, including one that allows the option of a credit card or a paypal account.

I shop a lot online, and only Paypal gets my credit card number. If I have a problem, Paypal refunds my money. My sellers like it as much as I do, it encourages shopping.

My wife ships 2-5 packages per day on e-bay, and buys some too.

She uses it. Likes it.

My websites only deal with PayPal. No fault to be found. Not much fault on the Titanic either.

After 15 months and 275 transactions via eBay, no issues whatsoever with Paypal.

I've been using Paypal for many years without any problems. However, a quick Google search will show many unhappy users.

I also have purchased from DealExtreme. I receive my shipments in about four weeks (to California). The only thing I dislike is the lack of shipment tracking. Oh, they offer tracking, but it consists of dates for "Items Shipped" and "Items Delivered", with nothing in between.

Have bought and shipped items all over the world with no problems. Goods only dispatched once payment is cleared to my PayPal account.
