I want to buy something from ebay but it says i need to use paypal. The person I am buying from would be in china and I am in the USA so would there be a fee for me buying something from outside the us. Also how safe is it. Will my information be safe and will there be any unexpected fees.

There is no fee to buy merchandise, only to sell. But be aware items from China are often not good quality and can take a month to arrive. I never buy from China or Florida. Paypal is safer than using a credit card because the seller does not get your financial information, only Paypal has it.

PayPal is the easiest way to send and receive money on the Internet.And also it is the safiest and secured way to recieve money.

I am an ebay seller and buyer. PayPal is safe. You would probably have to pay for international shipping and depending on how large the item is that you are trying to buy then that would indicate how much shipping would be. Overall when signing up for paypal it will ask you for various things that you may not want to give to the internet. Make sure to skim through all of the terms and agreements before confirming anything.

I wish you luck with your buying and selling adventure.

The purpose of Paypal is to provide a way to pay a vendor without providing them your credit card or banking information. Paypal is reliable and safe and costs you nothing. Sellers pay a small fee for the transaction.

There are no fees for buyers. Only for sellers.

It's possible you may have to pay an import fee if the value of the item is over $250. Your seller has no control over that, it's our Customs Department that makes the decision.

Paying with PayPal is the safest way to pay on eBay. If your item doesn't arrive you open a dispute, (45 day time limit to open a dispute), and PayPal will give your money back after x amount of time if the item still doesn't arrive.

NEVER let a seller tell you it will take longer than 45 days for your item to show up. It's a lie and they are just trying to drag it out so you can't get your money back. Most items from China, even using cheap shipping, will arrive within 30 days.

Yes Paypal is free and safe. I use it all the time and it's the easiest most convenient way to make online purchases. You are covered by Ebay Buyer Protection and Paypal Buyer Protection so if anything goes wrong you'll get your money back. Stuff bought from china is often fake or bad in quality and takes a long time to come so I wouldn't recommend that. Your information is safe and there are no fees(at least as a buyer there isn't any)

Good Luck I hope this helped
