I know I'm such a nerd but I'm nervous about opening a Paypal account. Do you have it linked to your bank account or did you open a separate account for this money? Sometimes I feel like I'm ages behind.

I've been a member of paypal for probably close to 8 years now~~and I have my account linked to my bank account and a credit card and I've NEVER had any problems.

Mine is linked to my credit card and like Angie, I've never had a problem.

[lovable_chick_21]

No, problems here either. I couldn't live without paypal. I'd open one if I were you!

Same here ..... I have not had a problem and I have had it for about 8 years also.

[therbel]

mine is linked to my bank account also..... Had it for about 5 years, no problems!!!

[katjim00]

Yep, no issues here either.... linked to everything.... can't remember how many years I've had it, but it is VERY beneficial. Especially if you use it to purchase from merchants and on eBay because it offers buyer protection if anything was to go wrong with your transaction.

Yep, or you could try RME, they have a 25.00 sign up bonus, and they don't charge you if you sell something.

I too have been on paypal for going on 8 years with no issues. I hope this doesn't sound lame but what is the significance of Paypal on here?

[bkwrm]

The only problem I had with paypal is when I tried to UNLINK my bank account with paypal! I finally got it resolved after a couple of years(yes, it's true - I would try and then forget, then remember to close it again - long story...if you want to know then I'll elaborate).

Anyway, I've read horror stories as well, so I set up a bank account specifically for use with paypal; that way, if anything bad does happen, it's not linked to my primary bank account.

I am the same as everyone else. No problems and have had account for years. I recently switched checking accounts on there and had no problems at all. If you can, get the sign up bonus!

Paypal is the ONLY way to go, if you ask me. Last year someone hacked into many Paypal accounts, including mine, and about $5 was taken out of my bank account for some car club overseas. Before I even logged on to Paypal to see what was going on they had already fixed it. They had everyone reimbursed and reset their passwords almost instantly.
They are watching...So, with that I am a VERY happy customer.

I opened a new account at a seperate bank for my paypal. They have too much leeway to reverse charges and take money from accounts for me to link it to my main account.

[momof2plustwins]

I've had PP too for many many years. Personal and Business accounts, no troubles what so ever.

Do you know where to get the sign up bonus?? TIA I think I may have an account, but I really cannot remember.

[Kmchamplin]

I believe that they aren't doing the sign up bonus anymore, but I could be wrong.
