I have someone in CO who is interested in a coat I listed on Craig's list, and said they could pay by Paypal, but I don't have an incoming account (I've only used it to buy stuff). I'd gladly
open an account to receive payment if it is safe - not iffy...
I'd appreciate any input..Thanks
Paypal has been safe. Be sure you have a secure access with them before giving them any information like your checking account. In the past, scam artists have used a fake paypal notice when emailing you. Be certain, Paypal will NEVER ask for any information through your email. You must log into the Paypal site (not thru email) and proceed with your transactions.
