What problems? I have never heard of Paypal problems. I consider my Paypal account to be far more secure than using a credit card. (you can get a credit card number stolen or misused by any dishonest merchant). Whereas I don't know of anyway to misuse Paypal. Jim On Sep 23, 2008, at 7:11 AM

Hi Dave, I have used PayPal for a number of years now and really have never had any problems. However, I am using it as a buyer. I understand that if you are using it as a seller and are dealing in many low priced items, the commissions they charge can be onerous. I think that sellers hav

I've gotten to the point where I rarely buy anything on ebay if the seller does not take paypal. The only issues I have had (and there have been very few) with ebay have not involved paypal. I consider it a safe and secure way to pay for online merchandise. It keeps my credit card and bank account
