How is it really? Can any of the fellow US-residents tell me about it? I want to get a premium account, but i really don't trust anything besides cash.....

actually, phobia was saying an alternate method (and probably safer) would be to find someone trustworthy who lived relatively closer to me who had paypal and have them wire the money for me.

Yeah, you could do that too, no problem. Would save you shipping costs :)
I live relatively close to Sweden so I'd just send it by post.

i would never ever ever trust that company with any financial information.
there are billions of complaints against them all over the internet.
I had an account once, and obvisouly have it no more. I still sell on ebay, but never with PayPal.

Paypal is VERY safe, easy and fast. Highly recommended. I've been using it for a very long time, every day.

yeah, that's why you don't have any money from me :)
*though I think I might send cash or something, I'm working this summer, so money is coming*
let me dig up the links, I wouldn't use paypal if my life depended on it, and I've sold thousands of $$ worth of DVDs, CDs, textbooks, electronics on the internet for a long time.

no no, I don't remember anymore, I'd just remove all my account, routing & financial info from them and they account dies after 90+ days without it.
I think that is how I did it.

You're more likely to be mugged in the street that be a victim of online credit card fraud.

Those sites convinced me plenty NOT to sign up with paypal.
Where do you buy international money orders in the US? And where should it be mailed to xltronic?

I had to succumb to paypal in order to get my beloved Passarani CD. They took $1.95 out of my account (Visa bank account card with no credit) and gave it back to me with a verification number.
After the posts today, I will never use it to buy something from a private person. Seems you can get royally screwed, if the other end isn't doing things legally.
I will probably cancel my account anyway.
