I have a paypal account it took all of 10 mins to set it up. And have never had any problems with it. The only charges you get is if some one pays you by paypal they take a percentage of the money, this depends on what type of account you have to how much they take. As there are 3 types.And they offer buyer protection.

fab answers guys!
thanks a bunch.

what do you use your paypal accounts for? I'm thinking of setting it up for courses and products on my website.

My website charges £4.99 per month for me to do this. Is that about right?

the charges they take are hardly anything imo.
if i want to transfer anything less that £50 they will charge me 25p but anything £50 or more its free,not sure if its the same for you?
