Is PayPal "Safe"?

[Fear Da Ocelot]

Well, my mom is hesitating to put money in my PayPal account, because she doesn't feel secure putting her credit card number or bank pin into an online site.

My question is......is there any other way to put money into an account? and also if you have a PayPal account do you find it safe and secure?

and no she won't let me buy a debit card because she's mean

Debit Cards pwn, I had one.

Hmm/ PayPal is safe I guess, but some people will lie when selling stuff and do a cashback thingy.

 

[Fear Da Ocelot]

I am definatly not going to be selling/buying from random people...my mom will never let me do that until I move out of the house

But, what I mean is if PayPal is safe to put money in and is it safe to put bank pins/credit card numbers?

Attach your bank account to it. It's not really safe for sythe, but it is for buying things elsewere.

 

[SlaveOfTheBeast]

Yeah, just don't buy/sell on sythe with pay pal..

 

[Zeta]

Yes, paypal is probably one of the safest payment methods around. But if you are selling mils make sure the buyer files a claim and then cancels it so theres no charge backs.

I warn you, They "ARE" Safe, BUT the kicker is, they send chargebacks, when they do that.. they send millions of E-mails.

 

[sins]

Not for sythe but otherwise it could be -given you don't go to fake sites-

 

[SlaveOfTheBeast]

And they can also just freeze your account.

 

[peanuts]

to answer your question, Yes it is safe they won't steal your card info and jack your stuff.

 

[loo]

pay pal is 100% safe

 

[Jrm]

Yes, Paypal is 100% safe, but your computer might not be.

Make sure before you type in your credit card details, scan for viruses/spyware using 2-4 different Programs first.

I recommend these ones that are free:

AVG 7.5
Ad-Aware SE Personal
Spybot - Search & Destroy

Scan with them before you enter in stuff like credit cards on the net.

 

[Acesic]

Its one of the safest methods around, But just remember to check that adress when putting in details ;]

 

[pure arrivial]

Buy a prepaid debit card from walgreens to fund paypal

 

[sorcey]

Paypal Is Safe But Because Runescape is not a real item They Can easily Get There Money Back i'd Suggest You Too use E-Gold.

 

[NickVeness]

Yeah. Its safe. Just you have to make sure you nave no viruses on your computer.
