    hi guys!

    I am new to paypal and haven't signed up yet..

    I need paypal to accept payment from some link buyers who bought a link on one of my site and are waiting for my payment address.

    i was just wondering how do the paypal team send us the money?

    do they send cheques or through bank account and how secure are they?

    Any help will be appreciated..

    Thank's

    It depends on the country you are living in .
    where are you from ?
    Edit: By looking at your signature , I assume you are from India or Pakistan . Paypal sends cheques and will take 3-4 weeks to process and reach you . You could although use alternative like zoom which are faster in terms if time .

    Well, since you are likely to receive regular payments in your paypal account from your prospective buyers, you must get your paypal verified, using a credit card. You can also exchange your paypal funds for INR through some reputed DP member.I presume that you are an Indian.

    If you register credit card you can receive payments on it. Also cheques are too slow. The best way is credit card. You should search in the help section of the site if your country's credit card are accepted by paypal

    If you live in Canada, you just verify your account with a credit card or bank account. You then can withdraw your money from either an ATM with your debit/ATM card or you can have the funds deposited direct to your bank account.

    You can collect your funds in either US or CDN dollars - but once you set it up one way, you leave it that way. US dollars are best, then they transfer to CDN when depositing to your bank account. If your CDN bank account is in US dollars, they will direct deposit in US. They say it takes 5-7 days but most times, it is only 2 days to get into your bank account.

    You can also request the debit card and just go to an instant teller and withdraw available funds.

    Lastly, paypal is owned by ebay and I think you will find it most secure - there are always horror stories you can read about but most people find it quite convenient and have never had issues.

    hope this helps

    You can estimate its security that almost everybody want to have PP. I am from a non listed country and I want it but I can't have it. They have their offices in 8 countries. Open paypal.com and browse their site for more info.

    How do you think they're going to transfer money into your bank account, unless you give them your account number? And unless Canadian cheques are vastly different to British ones, it's on every cheque you have ever handed over to anyone, so it's not really secret information, now is it.

    I agree. The only reason i hate them is their chargeback system. You have to trust them as you dont have any other option :rolleyes: Its obvious that the information is kept confidential.

    millions of people use it, that isnt proof enough..? its simple - automated, you can get programs that work with it.
    You can prob find a free script out there, that will automate what you require..

    Paypal are one of the best procesors but they are very, very picky and will ban you in an instant. follow their terms of use to the letter.
    Alertpay is coming up quite and in my opinion are just as efficient and secure.
    E-gold is ok...just cumbersome to transfer funds in and out.

    I would stay away from Stormpay. They have(had) REALLY BIG TROUBLE and many customers lost much money because of Stormpay.

    There are different payment processors and also e-currencies:

    Payment processors:

    PayPay
    Alertpay
    Wirecard
    Neteller

    Ecurrencies:

    e-gold
    Liberty reserve
    Pecunix
    Webmoney

    I hope this helps a bit.

    regards
