 | | Anybody use PayPal?? —Alan Demlow
|
| | | Hi. I was browsing Ebay listings and noticed a connection to the PayPal site (paypal.com). From reading through it, it appears that it's a free and quite handy, and offers $10 signup and referral bonuses. Anybody use it, and what kind of luck have (...)

| | | | | (...) I signed up but haven't used it to receive, only to pay. As usual, sign up via me for either PayPal.com OR X.com and I kick back 1/2 the referral to you if you use the ref lar@voyager.net I am pretty excited about these, as both checking (...)

| | | | | | | PayPal--referral bonus slip-up... —Alan Demlow
|
| | | | | | (...) Apparently you have to go through a "special" link to get the reference via PayPal--you can't just type in an e-mail address from my understanding of it. I typed in Larry's address above--did you get a referral bonus from me, Larry? My link (...) (25 years ago, 9-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

The buyer suggested this method and compensated me $5 of his sign-up bonus. The benefit to me as a seller was (...) (25 years ago, 8-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

I'd love it if they did overseas stuff, too--no more trying to figure out how to (...) (25 years ago, 8-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

| | | | | | I've signed up but haven't had a chance to use it yet. Regarding the $5 thing, that's just the minimum amount to go into your account at a time. You'll be "charged" $5 for a $1 transaction but then you'll still have $4 in your account. Actually, (...) (25 years ago, 8-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

| | | | | PayPal and X.com Warning —Tim Coats
|
| | | | I don't mean to make anyone paranoid, but there is one very serious problem I see with these services. Technically in order for a credit card transaction to be valid there HAS to be a signature. I know that people don't alway do this, especially on (...)

If you refused a charge It would probably draw into your overdraft then you would be responsible for paying back X.com, like any other credit account you (...)
