RE: Pay Pal - explained


Hi Andrew,

I am a firm believer in user error/responsibility, and is usually the case.
However, I authorized one withdrawl from my checking account for 600.00, not
two.  I believe using a Credit Card to "stock" a paypal account is a safer
way to go since you can contact the card to dispute a transfer and have
effect control with the Credit Card Co. backing.

I'm not saying people shouldn't use Pay Pal, my caution to not open the
gates to your personal checking or savings account. The bank is only a
clearing house of sorts, and if you have signed PayPal's "Blanket"
paperwork, the bank cannot stop transfers. It is the same as signing
multiple checks without any amount on them; PayPal can keep hitting your
account for funds.

Anyway, glad you have had good experiences... garden on!
Lori

About your troubles, Lori.  I personally believe it may have been your
bank that screwed up.  Only you can transfer money into your paypal.com
account.  But then, the details probably led you to believe otherwise.

Recently I had a vendor send through an unapproved Credit Card
transaction (not a paypal transaction, but it was an internet deal) and
I know this huge company made the mistake more because they don't have
skilled people in charge.  Most of these mistakes are because some human
has bumbled the ball.

Sorry your experience wasn't as good as mine...

Viva la Paypal.com!
