Paypal - Payments for eBay Sales and Online Shopping

PDF Print
Paypal, owned by eBay, enables you to make and receive payments using an email address. When creating a Paypal account, you banking details are linked. You then verify the account by the two small deposits that Paypal will make into your bank account. eBay Australia now requires all sellers to offer Paypal as a payment method.

If you make a transfer to your Paypal account, you have a Paypal balance, which can be used to pay for an item. You can also have the payment processed as an online eCheck, where the funds come directly from your checking account, or you can pay via a credit or debit card by linking it to your Paypal account. Any payment method you choose from your Paypal account will have the funds deposited into the sellers Paypal account.

Like eBay, Paypal has a dispute process. If a seller does not deliver, or the item arrives in less than perfect condition, or not as advertised, you can dispute the charge through Paypal, and you may recover your money. Other benefits are, you get your payment automatically, have different ways to accept payments through Paypal, and perhaps most importantly, by using Paypal you don't have to give out your important information to anyone. It is secure and safe to use.

Paypal keeps a record of your transaction history, allowing you to go back and see which payments were made to whom, payments received, and when money was transferred between your bank account and your Paypal account.Fees differ depending on the transaction. There are no fees to send money, or add funds. Withdrawing funds to your bank account is free for $150.00 AUD or more, $1.00 AUD for $149.99 AUD or less to bank accounts in Australia. To accept payments will attract a fee of 1.1%-4.4% of the transaction total value.

Paypal is one of the fastest ways available to send and receive money. With over 100,000 ecommerce websites offering Paypal as a payment method, it has become a valuable tool to both buyers and sellers.

I have attempted to reset my password, but none of the identifications in the dropdown box, would match any of my usual answers ie mothers birth place
where mother was born etc,etc. I am now at a loss as "How" to recover my Pay pal account, as the one I wrote down will not work.
