I use Paypal and it is fine.

The only drawback is they limit the amount you can transfer until you give
them your bank account number.  But, for security reasons, I always select the
additional funding options and pay with a credit card through Paypal.  In this
way, I have some protection through the credit card company should there be a
dispute.

Obviously, you can't always pay by credit card, as some sellers don't accept
credit card payments; so then you have to set it up to transfer the funds from
your bank account.

Note: When you first sign up with paypal, you need to enter a security
graphic.  I think they nmay have an audio link for it now, but when I signed
up three years ago, they didn't.

Hello to list,
 I would like to hear from anyone that uses Paypal and would like to know
what you think, good or bad. I am thinking of signing  up for Paypal myself
but I would like to hear from others that have used it first.
 I recently tried to pay for some repairs to a piece of ham radio equipment
and was told that the only way I could pay was with Paypal, personal check
or M.O. I payed by check whitch took much longer. I usually pay by
mastercard.
 I would appreciate any info on this. You can email me personally or to the
list as some others might also be interested.

Best Wishes,
