Hey guys.

So I'm soon gonna make a trade with a number of people, and since I find it quite inconvinient to send cash via regular mail, I though I'd try out paypal.

However, I want to ask a few question.

1) Do I have to be 18+ to use it?
2) Is there any min. of how much i transfer to each person?
3) Is it 100% safe(couse it is according to their website but I have made it a habit not to trust website until I start using them alot or get other opinion..)
4) Is it complicated to use?

Thanks

1. Yes you have to be 18 to use it. Now you could have your parents sign up for you and use their account and you just pay them.
2. AFAIK there is NO minimum or maximum that you can send.
3. Nothing is 100% as far as i am concerned as scammers will always look for ways to get money. Just be sure to save all receipts, PMs, and any emails from paypal concerning transactions via Paypal.
4. Extremely easy to use. Signup, login, hit send money tab towards top, enter receipients email address and amount sending to them. Now if recieving money paypal will take a certain percentage but not too much.
Hope this helps and good luck!

Another way to combat scammers is to create a new bank account exclussively for use with PayPal rather than link it onto your current one. Then transfer into it as you need it. If it somehow gets hacked or whatever then you just lose whatever small amount you have in it at the time and not everything.

Okay thanks guys
