Question PayPal? Is it safe?

Does anyone use PayPal for Ebay or Yahoo? I see alot of sellers using it and was curious how safe it is. I just viewed their site and they want ALOT of info (credit card #, address, bank name and account, etc.).

They *have* to have all that information in order to transfer the money from one account to the other. It has received excellent reviews in the press, and I've talked to a few people who say they've had good experience with it.

I can't tell you anything about it from my personal experience, just passing along what I've heard, for whatever that may or may not be worth to you, & good luck!

I use it for eBay transactions all the time and it works great. Not only are you covered by Paypal in the event of fraud or misuse but your CC company should also have policies in place to protect you while buying online.

Pretty much what onemil said. I've used it several times and have had it no problems at all.

I've used Paypal for Ebay transactions-- Buying and selling. Once you get set up, it's almost instant! I consider it very safe.
