    Paypal is very safe. It's a lot better, (especially for eBay) because the person who is getting the money can not even see one little bit about your credit card information. I have been using it for years now, and it hasen't let me down once!

    they say it's safe and secure, but nothing is 100% secure. I had my credit card number stolen from payal. So if u decide to do it, make sure u are safe and change your password often. And if you get a email saying it's from paypal don't trust it. And for god's sake don't click on any links in that email. Go straight to the paypal website and check to see if you have any messages there. All messages sent from paypal are also in your inbox in your paypal account. Good Luck.

    No service is safe enough unless both ends are perfect. Paypal is famous and have been trusted by thousands worldwide. But malware and poor network security on your side can compromise your details. So take care that you have updated security software a well as a firewall installed. Never access any online money transfer service from a public computer.

    Many buyers refuse to buy from a site that doesn't offer PayPal as a payment option.

    If it don't have PayPal, try some place else that does

    Yes, I would say that PayPal is the safest money transfer system on the internet. It is used widely across the world.

    yup, paypal is your best bet. i would strongly advise against anything else like western union or something like that. with those, there is no way to trace where the money went.
