Pay Pal

Is there anyone on here who uses this online? Have they had any probs with it? I never wanted or needed one....but now that I'm doing surveys there are companies who only pay through Pay Pal. I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and sign up.

I use PayPal and it doesn't give me too much of a headache. Just keep in mind that once you're registered with them, you may start receiving bogus e-mails asking you to verify your account info. I've forwarded three of these messages to PayPal and all of them were phony and currently under investigation.

If anyone ever asks you to confirm your financials via e-mail then beware, it's fake.

There is too much money to be made on the internet for me to not have one. It's kind of like the cyber bank of the world.

I've had an account for years, it's really handy in this day and age to have one. I just mentioned the phony e-mails as you will likely start receiving them sooner or later.

Yes...I know how the emails go. Jackson tried to sign up for one (ofcourse without a valid bank account...because THAT makes sense)....and i got spammed to death!

You wouldn't believe the amount of spam e-mails I get now that I run websites and have my e-mail posted everywhere.

After I started doing Surveys and getting Freebies...I bet I get almost 100 spam emails a day. I wish I would've used another address. I now spend my first 10 minutes a day just sorting thru all the crap.

Why don't you just adjust your e-mail address? Simply changing one letter will do and pick not to forward e-mails from you old address. That's what I did. For a while there, I was getting anywhere between 25 - 100 e-mails per day, ridiculous.
