PayPal as a way to collect league fees?

[clubhouseotter20]

How safe is PayPal? I've never used but it seems like everyone and their mother uses it for online transactions. Is it easy to set up?

Paypal is as safe as your local bank. I have used it for years. It is easy to set up. You need to have a checking account and a credit card. You input your bank account info. When you make a transfer it comes directly from you bank. If you make the transfer as a Personal Gift, there is no charge. You also need to have a credit card as a backup account in case your bank account is empty.

They also have fraud protection, it's just like a checking account.

Thanks guys. I am still a little weary when it comes to hooking up my bank account to a website even though PayPal is like the safest way to pay online. Gonna go explore PayPal's site a little more and if I have anymore questions I'll be sure to post here.

Thanks again for your help.

Question... since I will be accepting money (league fees) from other people, I would have to sign up for the "Premier" account, correct? Or would the "Personal" account work fine as well?

the personal will be fine. as long as they are using the "gift" you'll get the full amounts
