not sure if i'm in the right topic here,but could anyone explain PAYPAL to me?

[cutekids]

Please make it simple though....lol!

Anyone? I was on the Moneymaking expert website and he's suggesting certain survey sites but to do this you need a Paypal Account.I've never quite "got"the whole paypal thing.Could anyone just give me an idea how it works?

Hi, you set up an account and give them your bank and/or credit card details. Then you can use the Paypal account to pay for things online.

It's easier and safer for you, because you don't have to give every little trader your card details. And it's much easier for the trader, as they can't all get the facility to take credit card or bank account payments.

HTH

If you're looking at survey sites, presumably you hope to earn a bit of money from them? If so, then they will pay the money into your paypal account, rather than the other way round. But it works the same apart from that!

Do watch out for some of the survey sites though - a lot of them are scams.

Oh thankyou amuminscotland.i appreciate your help.as far as the scammy survey sites,i've been reading Moneysaving expert who's listed the reliable sites and he's also warned never to shell out any money beforehand.thanks again.
