PayPal.com, it's fast, easy and most of all safe!
With PayPal you can purchase items online, send money anywhere in the world, receive money from anywhere, pay certain bills, and join online clubs and sites where there is a membership fee.
You can keep an online bank account, through your savings or checking account, so if you need to purchase or pay for something fast, your money is already there and waiting! For example, you've just found something great on E-Bay, you can't live without it! All you would have to do is go into your PayPal account and have them send the money to the E-bay seller for your purchase. 1-2-3...quick and easy!
Without a PayPal account, you'd have to go online with the seller (from E-Bay), register, put in your credit card info, or checking account info, then the seller would check your information and either accept or decline you. This could take a few days. Or, you could order the item, send a check or money order for payment, wait until the check clears and maybe in 10 days or so, your item would be mailed out to you. With a PayPal account, go to your account, deduct the payment, transfer to the seller and the seller ships your merchandise off either the same day or the next day!
I've also used this account to send money to my daughter. The money comes from my account online and goes directly to her checking account.
I've paid for services online and have had the service hooked up in a matter of minutes!
There's no need to wait! It's instantaneous !
I once ordered something online, paid for it by PayPal and when I received the item, it was not what I wanted. I E-mailed the company I purchased from, explained the problem and they had me send the item back. When they received the returned item (3 days later), they credited my PayPal account with the purchase price.
It's a secure site, no information is ever sold through the site and they guarantee your safety.
I would recommend PayPal to anyone who purchases online, or to anyone who needs to send money to anyone or receive from anyone. I feel fairly safe using it myself, and I am usually a real skeptic!
