PayPal for Noobs?
larryinc64:
So I'm finally getting a PayPal account, I'm currently reading through the User Agreements and stuff, But I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers to normal use or some things I should watch out for?

Holy Jesus, you're just now getting an account? I can barely remember not having an account.
You should link it to your bank account and get it verified. You'll also want to verify your address the same way. I hope your're set up for online banking, because it will make verifying your account a lot easier.
Just remember that when someone sends you money that PayPal takes a chunk of it. So if selling on eBay both eBay and PayPal takes a cut. But transfering funds into your bank account is free, it just takes a couple of business days.

I turned 18 about 2 months ago, I've been meaning to set one up, but I needed to get my finances sorted out first.

Oh, well that makes sense. I forget that not all retro gamers are old farts like me. :D

After you get all what he said above, I would make sure you have the premier account. It has a lot better selling options. The regular account is mainly just for buyers.
