    *OT* PayPal

    Anybody out there use the "Verified" feature of PayPal?

    If, so, had any problems? I've been reluctant to use it as yet.

    Thanks.

    Use it

    I have been using PayPal verified for a long time. I use Pay Pal as the preferred payment method on my Web Site Store items. I have never had any problems with the Pay Pal process.

    Same here... no problems, minor annoyance

    Never had a problem with Paypal, been verified for over a year. Only issue I had is that by default it wants to use my checking account for payments and I can't figure out a way to set the default to my credit card. So, every payment I make I have to remember to hit the "other payment options."

    Not a big deal, and I really love the convenience of Paypal.

    Hi W. C.

    I read this and decided against being "verifyed"

    http://www.paypalwarning.com/

    If someone doesn't want my "un-verified" money then I will gladly go elsewhere.

    Thanks

    I was a little apprehensive, so I set up a savings account at a local bank to fund my paypal account. I've never had a problem and have used it both to pay and receive money.

    I didn't like the sound of it to start with. Now I wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole.
    I usually find it much easier to be wrong once in while than to try to be perfect.

    My web page has a pop up. It is a free site, just close the pop up on the right side of the screen

    Thanks Richard

    Richard,

    Those horror stories from the paypal warning link you provided is much worse than I would have imagined. Everyone should read this.

    We received an email the other day, supposedly from Ebay, requesting a lot of personal information that wouldn't ordinarily be conducted over regular email. I deleted it, and found out later that somebody has been scamming folks with this type message. They have all the Ebay logos and everything so as to extract credit card numbers, bank account numbers, etc, from unwary Ebay customers. We all have to be on our toes these days. Can't let down your guard for a moment!

    Hi W. C.

    PayPal works wonderfully for many thousands of people, millions of times a year. I would suggest being careful. Because if it goes bad you won't care how many times it all worked great.

    I very much like the way Chris dealt with it. That should be the model I will use if I am overcome by the urge to be "verified".

    Thanks
