I’ve recieved some cash for xmas and I was wondering what to buy with it. I went around to places, but to actually get what I want I think the best to get it is through the net. Also I don’t really like shopping when it is really crowded. I was thinking about setting up a paypal so I can buy merchandise off the net. I don’t know a lot about paypal yet, how it works and what not, but thanks for this tip. Now I can trust paypal a little more.

One thing is to avoid the fake e-mails with the Pay Pal and E-Bay Logos. It may looks too good to be true and they are called “Phishing” techniques to steal your credit card information. Pay Pal never ask for information on their e-mails, so don’t bother to open those fake e-mails.

Etrade also provides the same type of device. For me, having 6 constantly changing numbers attached to my login/password is the most comfortable I feel having financial information out there. Though…if every place I have a login had one, I’d have one huge keychain!

PayPal is painless, except for the fees they charge for selling!

Tips like these are very important because some people don’t know how unsafe the internet is. It is always good to have people like Chris and the community saying what to do to be absolutely safe when buying stuff on the internet, or just surfing the web. Thanks for the tips.

The toolbar is good as well as the ebay toolbar. I don’t like the security key. I mange our ebay store and my paypal from both home, work ,and my husband’s store. By now most of know what are real emails. I just ignore everything and go to the site and check on my account status. Some years ago, our ebay account had a hack attempt on it and ebay was most helpful! This was pre the paypal /ebay merge. It was unsuccessful! Mostly because I went to the ebay site and ignored the warnings in the email.
