 | View Full Version : Paypal Dan-CKS 10-15-2009, 08:18 PM Hi I need some advice. Is it safe to use paypal for Payments From clients i have read quite alot and it doesnt appear safe. Please advise from your experience. KmacK 10-15-2009, 08:29 PM We have been using them for years. No complaints here. loveweb 10-15-2009, 08:36 PM why it doesn't safe? i always prefer to pay a host via PP njoker555 10-15-2009, 08:36 PM it's pretty safe although the buyer and seller protections are not usually there. And I've found its harder to win disputes as a host. But they still bring in the most income out of all the processors that we use. You just have to be a bit careful and having a fraud protection service doesn't hurt either :) plumsauce 10-15-2009, 09:03 PM Safe in what aspect? BurakUeda 10-15-2009, 10:47 PM Over 150 million accounts consisting companies, individuals, freelancers etc. from all around the world. Huge number in online transaction business, and they are doing pretty good job if you ask me. So yes, PayPal is safe. But as said above, using a 3rd party fraud-system might be a good idea. mooseweb 10-15-2009, 11:17 PM Let me put it this way, PayPal is great, for legal business ventures. When you do ANYTHING, ANYTHING sketchy/illegal/pushing the line, that's when PayPal becomes a bad solution.

Happy with it. used 2co.com and got a refund and i stick with paypal:) chaerin 10-16-2009, 03:49 AM paypal is good. It's reliable and the most trusted online payment system. Website themes 10-16-2009, 06:58 AM Support paypal if you want to but don't support paypal only. Make sure you have a real credit card processor that supports all countries. A company like 2co or google checkout. Hydro_Host 10-16-2009, 09:29 AM When you do ANYTHING, ANYTHING sketchy/illegal/pushing the line, that's when PayPal becomes a bad solution. Please Expand.... With regards to the original question. I have never had a problem with PayPal, nor any complaints. I have used them for years. I think people the become to love it. And I wouldn't believe anything about it not being secure. mooseweb 10-16-2009, 09:30 AM Support paypal if you want to but don't support paypal only. Make sure you have a real credit card processor that supports all countries. A company like 2co or google checkout. Neither of those are "real" credit card processors, so I'd recommend staying away from 2co.com most definitely. Google Checkout is the next best runner up compared to PayPal. Tony| 10-16-2009, 09:39 AM Paypal is one of the most reliable and secure payment solutions. They are also very seller friendly :) Google Checkout would be the next best thing, but if you don't offer Paypal you are really missing on a big chunk of the market. Bannaz 10-17-2009, 10:21 AM Paypal are pretty safe. :) BH-Greg 10-17-2009, 10:26 AM I use paypal for eveything, Clients and even for me purchasing stuff of ebay. |
