Paypal is a payment service. They allow customers to pay by credit card or funds transfer. The recipient pays a small percentage to receive that money. It's perfectly safe for both parties. Go to Paypal.com to do so. You can start with a free acount and upgrade to a merchant account later.
If you ever need to start processing credit card charges, check out your local warehouse club like Costco or Sam's Club. They offer that service through one of their partners for less than a big monster megabank will.

its safe, fast and easy to use IF its for personal use. NOT buissnes!!!
AND its free!!!!!!!!!!!
its also great way to pay for action sites eg, ebay and other things like that.
what it is its like a online bank if you buy something of the internet it will take it out of your bank and deposit it in the sellers acount ASAP. its fast payments aswell. and also if you got family across the pond or any where else you can safely send eachother money (if the other person has PayPal) it saves risking it in the post (expecially with the recent royal mail strikes!!). it is a good idea if your buying of the internet.
good luck anyway!!!

Visit www.paypal.com to open an account, if you desire. You may need a credit card account, a bank account. You will go through some verification process...like, they will deposit two small amounts into your bank account. Once the process is done, you are on your way. It is safe and very convenient, as more and more places accept its transaction. One thing you need to be careful, a lot of scamming going on, ask you to verify your account, then steal your login/password. Just
need be careful.

Pay Pal is a service used to by stuff over the internet. Its like an internet credit card. I HATE PAY PAL!!!!! I have used it, it is not worth the trouble. #1, they send me bills on line, which goes to my spam folder, which I never see,so I get a call every month from some Pay Pal nitwit saying I am late in paying. I told them fine, send me a paper mail bill! They told me, 'oh we don't know how to do that'.#2 Worse, I must get 10 Bulk E-mails a months, "spam", from someone/something pretending to be Pay Pal. they want my DOB, SSN, Credit card info, First borns name, and more. I call Pay Pay, and complain. Their answer is 'Oh, We dunno!' They cannot police their own site. I use credit cards or checks. Forget Pay Pal.

Always remember that nothing is a for-sure safe. Pay Pal.com is an avenue where you can pay for things you purchase online. Go there and they can inform you as to the program. Good Luck

its a pay service for things like ebay etc. amazon. whateverm its safe,. its good if you do alot of ecommerce online, they are safe, they never ask for your password. it keeps your confidential bank information and allows you to perform transaction like move money from your ebay account to your bank account or pay bills or transfer money bettween people. its safe in the sense that if you have a dispute online ie person send you the wrong item or defective you can pettion paypal and they will refund your money upon investigation much more efficiently than ebay.

it's an intermediate place for your money to go as a buyer, and then they pay the seller.
very safe. If not, would they still be in business?
they cover purchases up to a thousand I think.

paypal is a secure online payment program. it's used by hundreds of businesss. it's very safe, however you just have to watch your e-mail for fakes. i've had a few suspicious e-mails, and i forwarded them to paypal and they took care of it. just go to paypal.com and go from there.
