Is PayPal safe ? That's the first question I need to answer whenever I have a conversation between my friends and me about each item I purchased from eBay. Frankly speaking, I prefer to shop online instead of shop in department stores. PayPal will always be my first option whenever I make my transactions.
The idea behind PayPal is simple: Use encryption software to allow people to make financial transfers between computers. That simple idea has turned into one of the world's primary methods of online payment. Today over 140 million internet users prefer to use PayPal to send money to each other via email. PayPal has become such a convenient and trusted way to transfer money online, 90% of eBay's purchases go through PayPal.
Here are some of the things you might use PayPal for:
- Send of receive payments for online auctions at eBay and other websites
- Purchase or sell goods and services
- Make or receive donations
- Exchange cash with someone
Most of the largest online shopping stores support Paypal such as:
Through its policies, practices, and business integrity, PayPal has earned the trust of both parties. With multiple guarantees in place, buyers and sellers entrust PayPal with their credit card and bank information. PayPal keeps that private customer information secret. Then, while "blinded" from the other party's confidential information, strangers safely send money to each other through PayPal and email.
Hence, my answer is YES! It is safe =)
In the meantime, let me know what do you think about PayPal? Do you prefer Paypal or Credit Card whenever you make your transactions online?
Cheers !!
