There is no guarantee. Use a major credit card to increase chances of not getting screwed over since they will usually cancel transaction if needed. Paypal is more secure then other things since now you have to have quite a bit of info when making an account but its still not 100% for non "official" transactions (like ebay type shit)

Been using it for 8 years now, probably nearing 1000 transactions between personal and business. Only had a few problems where i got ripped off but ended up getting my money back (Eventually)

For the most part pretty safe.

Paypal protection? FORGET IT!

THEY WON'T DO SHIT FOR YOU!

The only way to get buyer protection with Paypal is to purchase WITH A CREDIT CARD and deal with the credit card company if you get scammed.

^^^ Agreed. I had a guy on here a couple years back who scammed me. Pulled the money from his acct. and paypal couldn't do anything for me...

doitsidewayz · 05-31-2012, 02:32 PM
