| CuppaJo's Full Review: PayPal |
I'm an avid eBayer. I love to shop online this way, because I get to be involved in an auction, can find products I need or want for less, and with two small children at home, I don't have to drag them all over creation to find what I need. It's all at my fingertips! I also am able to sell things I don't need anymore on eBay. It's a great way to get rid of things I have no use for.
The problem is that people on eBay often pay using a personal check, which can create hassles. Your address becomes known to others, and mailing payments takes some extra time too, not to mention an additional 33¢ for postage. If you are selling things, you have to wait for the check to clear - it can take up to 10 days - and there's always the concern of bounced payments. With PayPal, the buyer just "beams" you money across the cyberwaves, and it's right in your account! Or, you can send someone payment for an auction you've won immediately, and your item gets shipped that much faster.
PayPal makes it SO easy to sign up. Just give them your Mastercard or Visa number, set up an account by giving your name and address, and then you're ready to buy and sell. Payments happen instantaneously, a definite benefit when you're into immediate gratification like I am. PLUS, they give you an automatic $5 just for joining.
I'm in the process of setting up a new online company, and I am happy to use PayPal's services for payments from my customers. I won't have to worry about the their check not clearing, and the customer won't have to worry about payment arriving or having to go out and purchase a money order. It's easy for everyone!
