Basically, that some people did have serious problems with their accounts. Transactions were not made or with (very) wrong amounts, money was suddenly gone, etc.

But that, as aelora has pointed out were maybe problems that have been fixed by now? 'Cause it certainly has been a while since I last considered making an account and have checked these things.

You know, maybe we should just risk it, but start with small amounts? Sure, € 10 or € 20 is a lot of money for us poor students (*gg*) and I wouldn't want to lose that amount either, but it's better than starting out with a 100 quid right away. So should we try? :)

oh..I'd do very small accounts....something that doesn't piss me off too much if I loose it. and maybe if i want to buy something I can always transfer money.

I think I'm gonna try. It's a loot easier to get paid lj then as well.

I want shruuf back!!!

If I'm going to try, I will only use it for LJ. I don't trust paypal enough to do eBay transactions...
What I read in catmoran's comment doesn't help to ease my doubts, either. I guess you're on the safe side, if you only use the account to transfer money to others, but don't accept others to transfer it to your account.
Who the hell gives paypal the right to just keep all the money that was in your account anyway after they freeze it??

When I get home, I'll do some more reading on all this, but I think I'll try paypal for LJ. Anything else - a no-no for now. :/

I think it's because they're only a pseudo bank. I'm not sure...it's a rule.
And actually there's this thing I want to buy from ebay... *g* only with paypal...lesigh.

Read this carefully, then decide.
I guess you're ok with small amounts... but... :/

(Wie funktioniert das eigentlich, da überhaupt erstmal Geld hin zu überweisen? Würde das laufen, wie wenn ich dir Geld überweisen wollen würde oder muss das auch über deren website laufen? Ich würde denen nämlich so wenig wie möglich Infos von mir geben wollen!)

Ich glaube du musst schon bei der anmeldung deine volle addresse angeben....

Ich weiss einfach nicht.... die seiten sind negativ..aber ich weiss, dass sowas ja auch nur die schlechte seite zeigt....

mein problem sind mehr meine daten...

Klar zeigen die nur die schlechten Seiten. *lol* Wofür paypal gut ist, weißt du ja schon. ;)

Und meine Adresse dürften die ruhig haben. Ich wäre nur beunruhigt, was meine Bank-Daten angeht. Denn von meiner Adresse können die mir nicht einfach unbemerkt Kohle klauen oder so einen Kack!

Eventuell must dui bankdaten auch abgeben...
also kontnummer..blz und so......

aber die dürfen das nicht einfach s nehmen.

was zum teufel hab ich da geschrieben?!

insane!! *huggleS*
