any good for buying on line,i sold stuff got paid by paypal but it wasnt going into the bank account so i closed the account.

Nochex are OK.

Paypal fees are extotionate.

With Paypal, your money received does NOT automatically go into a bank account, you manually have to transfer it, there is a minimum amount limit, i think it's about ?6.00 - ?9.00 and it takes a copuple of days.

Problem is with British banks who take 5-7 days compared to 3-4 days for U.S banks for you to get your money.
If you withdraw less than ?50 from your Paypal account they will charge you for the transaction which is par for the course for Ebay/Paypal who screw the arse off sellers. The buyer doesn't pay a penny to use Paypal it is all on the seller wheras Nochex charges the buyer to use the service although there are restrictions on how much can be spent.

yeah thats the trouble i sold a book on ebay for 2.99 end up paying fees to them even amazon too.

Apparently there is a phishing email scam going on pretending to come from Paypal. The person posted this on another forum .-

"I recieved this email this morning:

There are loads of phishers out there ...any one purporting to be a bank etc and asking you to log in is a fake.In any speak with your bank.They will never ask for a password unless you phone them first.

If the amount you want to transfer is large do telephone or on line banking.No fees.Paypal are expensive but then ebay too I think.
