Why not paypal?

Do you mean some sort of installment system?

no he means in addition to credit cards and money orders/checks, the use of paypal to secure a subsciption.

I think.

I have a paypal account, but I don't use it. Why would I? I have a credit card and the security of that is far more then paypal offers. I worry less about people stealing it because I would know quickly and more often than not the credit card company would reimburse me. I doubt paypal would reimburse you if somebody else started using your account...unless you sued them.

not the point travis. I think he was trying to say for those of us without a credit card paypal would be another good option. I have a paypal account and use it at least twice a week with ebay.

To get a paypal account you need to have a bank account. If you have a bank account, you most likely have or can get a debit card w/MC or VISA logo and it is accepted as a credit card.

Not true. You only need the back account if you want to transfer monies to the bank.

I know lots of people who get paypal accounts without needing a bank account. All you need for a paypal account is a email address. Now if you wish to get verified on paypal you need a bank account but that is not neccasary.

I have a bank account but they denied us getting a ATM card because of our past mistakes with credit cards and previous ATM cards.

takes to long!

If you don't have a bank account how do you deposit money in a paypal account to pay for a WC sub

ebay sales or you can have someone else transfer mney to you.

I have my paypal going through my bank so that I can put money in paypal to pay for purchases off ebay or so I can tranfer moneies i got from ebay sales of mine to the bank.

Hard to explain I guess. I just think it would be nice if StarDock had paypal going.

Okay I don't like eBay and I don't have a bank account and I have no friends that will transfer money into an account for me 'cause they don't trust me. How do I open a paypal account and put money into it?

I guess you don't. but you can still open a Paypal account without a bank account.

Adding a bank account to your paypal account just offers more options available to you is all.

Sorry you do not like Ebay. Over the last year I have made lots of money there.

you can open a paypal acount and have nothing in it. The only money I have in mine is some from a program that I decided was worth the money and got a refund. The only way I could get the money was with a paypal account. Now I have 15 dollars that I can spend on any site that accepts paypal. If stardock started acception it I would buy cursorxp, but thats just because I have the extra 15 dollars that I can do nothing with. I have nothing associated with the paypal account except for a debit card for a bak account I no longer use, but I do have a couple of dollars in it to keep it.

Travis you can find something at ebay for 15 bucks. I got a top end Casio PDA for 5 bucks. (3 bucks shipping)

If you don't want to spend the $15 then you can add a bank account to Paypal then transfer the $15 to you bank account.

I have a bank account but they denied us getting a ATM card because of our past mistakes with credit cards and previous ATM cards.

Hmm really? Weird. I have the ATM card, it just showed up one day out of the blue. And my credit was terrible at the time. I do a lot of Ebay/Paypal business though. (Not that anyone cares . Ah well, it's not that great.

I've never understood the "Takes too long" deal. I usually hear the same people say the same thing a month later and they could have done it by mail 5 times in between...

P.S.

Been meaning to email and haven't bothered, but I haven't heard anything back from the one I mailed in. How long should I wait before I cancel my check? I've been chalking it up to nutty holiday mail.

we are not part of a bank but of a federal credit union.

ok I totally misunderstood your post Kona. I thought you were saying that you couldnt get the Paypal/ATM debit card (instead of the credit union debit/ATM card)..
Not one of my better days guys

Ok I just edited for the 4th time because I keep misspelling "credit".
I'm going back to bed. >

I would take the fifteen dollars, but to do so I would have to go and talk to the people at my bank to do it. Its a long walk there (5- 10 miles) and I don't have a car right now. And I haven't got into the ebay thing. I am not into bidding and whatnot. Ah but I shall look

you can also have paypal send you a check.

I guess I could, but I am just waiting for something to spend it on. In order to cash a check, again I would have to walk to the bank. Its a credit union that is only in knoxville, which is where I am for school. I put all of myy earnings into it at the beginning of last semester and haven't been back there since.

I am just waiting for a reason to spend it. Its just sitting there looking at me and begging to be free.

travis: get a kona or some other trusty bicycle. You'll love it.

as for the 15 bucks well find something cool on ebay to spend it on. I got a little laser pointer for a buck.

hmm a laser pointer, I can think of a lot of interesting things to do with it . I was thinking more on the lines of some music cds, a couple of books, or maybe even use the money as part of a magazine subscription.

Now that I think about it though. I might want to get it out and use it towards cable. My cable just ran out today

You can use your ATM as a creditcard?? Mine has a Visa logo on it.
