I have a paypal question - do you need a special type of account to receive money from a buyer, or can anyone send money to a regular (not business) paypal account? I have some stash I have been thinking about selling...
Thanks! |

Thanks! I think I upgraded mine to premier to allow me to transfer a larger amount of money each month from my paypal to my bank...but you don't need to do that. |

Therefore, international sellers may want to consider insuring all packages as that's the only way to protect yourself. USPS does not offer insurance for flat-rate envelopes, so check out http://www.shipsurance.com. They're what's known as a third-party insurer.

I no longer use Paypal as someone got my password and transfered money out of my account! I managed to get it fixed (took 3 days) but it scared me.

As a seller, I don't mind the fees paypal charges. You can print shipping label and pay for the postage out of your paypal account, but not when purchasers send gift funds.

Ah, gotcha. I just reread your post, and totally missed the 'international' the first time. Apologies!

I am a senior who has been using computers on a daily basis since DOS. I pay my bills, do my banking online and order many things online BUT I'll be d*&%^* if I am going to start messing with Pay Pal! If I want to buy something and the only option to pay is with Pay Pal...I won't buy the item. I get email invoices when I pay by credit card. You can get limited use credit cards and ones that are good for only one purchase so what is the point of messing around with one more thing for which I must keep track? I just don't understand why I should use it...it has no advantages that I am aware of over the use of a credit card.

I go to our post office, and buy a stamp, use card, get $100 or whatever I want [but ask if they have it first], and then it's free, cuz I use the stamp eventually! |
