How to be Safe When Using Craigslist
1. Think before you meet. If you must meet someone in person to either exchange goods or to start a social group, your first meeting should always be held in a public place. Always let a friend or family member know where you are going and when you plan on returning.
2. Never let your guard down. Even once you have met the other individual and start to feel comfortable, never let your guard down. Unfortunately, some people are professionals when it comes to scamming. Do not agree to "go some place quieter."
3. Never post or exchange personal information. This includes such things as your home address, along with any financial information.
4. Be sure to always have a contract. Many people use Craigslist to arrange freelance work. Whether it be writing, Web site design or anything else, never do the work without a detailed contract.
5. Deal locally. When looking to buy or sell, try to arrange the transaction with someone from your area. This is relatively easy since Craigslist is organized by location.
6. Never wire money. If a person is only willing to sell you something after you wire them the agreed upon money, this is a sure sign of a scam. Wire transfers are not traceable and cannot be cancelled.
7. Avoid paying shipping services. If a transaction requires you pay extra for the cost of either a shipping or escrow service, this is most likely a scam. If not possible to exchange face to face, all goods should be sent via mail or a recognized delivery system such as UPS, FedEx or DHL.
How to Organize Your Payday Project
1. Create additional email addresses, so you can keep your Project Payday correspondence separate from your personal emails. You will receive many emails from Project Payday and from clients with products.
2. Register and open a PayPal account. A PayPal account is needed for you to get paid. Clients may ask if you are a verified PayPal customer before working with you, so having a PayPal account can increase your credibility in the Project Payday business.
3. Apply for a separate bank card to keep track of your Project Payday transactions. This will help you stay organized with your banking transactions.
4. Keep your clients' information in separate folders on your computer. This includes their Terms & Condition contracts, any other documents they may send and a list of products you have reviewed for them.
5. Create a large spreadsheet that keeps all of your clients and projects in one place. You should only include small and vital details, such as name and date of the offer, referral, trade amount, contract information and offer expiration date. Include any notes specific to the project in question.
6. Create a payment spreadsheet. Keep track of every client, project and payment you get, so you can easily complete your taxes come tax time.

Can a PayPal Refund Be Stopped?
Canceling a Refund: Not an Option
PayPal doesn't let you cancel refunds that have already been issued. This rule applies to both individual PayPal accounts and PayPal accounts held by organizations or businesses. Once you've issued a refund, you have no choice but to let the payment go through. At that point, you have two options: You can either submit a new money request through PayPal -- this means launching an entirely new transaction -- or you can ask the individual who received your refund to return it to you.
Canceling a Payment
Although PayPal doesn't let you cancel a refund once you've issued it, the website does allow the buyer to cancel a payment she's already sent. Click the 'History' tab under the 'My Account' tab on your PayPal account; scroll down until you see the item for which you'd like to cancel the transaction. Click the 'Cancel' button underneath the 'Order Status/Actions' column. This must be done before the payment is claimed; once the payment has been withdrawn from your PayPal account or associated bank account, you won't be able to cancel the transaction and will have to ask for a direct refund.
Requesting a Refund
Once a transaction has gone through -- whether it's an original transaction or a refund -- you won't be able to cancel it. Instead, you'll have to ask for your own refund to recoup your money. Again, start by clicking the 'History' tab under the 'My Account' tab on your PayPal account. Scroll through your list of transactions until you find the one you want and click the 'Details' button adjacent to it. Here you'll see information regarding the person from whom you want a refund, including her email address; use this to contact the individual directly to request a refund. If you used a credit or debit card to pay for the refund you sent, it could take up to 30 days before the refunded amount is credited to your account.
Requesting Payment
You can also recoup your money by requesting a new payment. This is a separate transaction and will not be linked to the original transaction or the subsequent refund. Click on the 'Request Money' tab at the top of your PayPal account. Then click on the 'Request Money' button at the top of the next page. Enter the recipient's email address and the amount of money you're owed. Check the box for either goods or services, depending on the transaction. For a more formal option, you can also submit an invoice by clicking on the 'Create an invoice' button at the top of the 'Request Money' tab. Fill out the form with information regarding the transaction, including the recipient's email address, information about the item or service purchased and a due date for the payment.
File a Dispute
If you are unable to recoup your refund by requesting a new refund or payment, you can file a dispute with PayPal's Resolution Center. You have 45 days from the date of the original transaction to file your dispute. The Resolution Center puts you in direct contact with the person to whom the original refund was issued; if you're unable to negotiate a solution, the Resolution Center may be able to get you your money back.
How to Transfer Money to a German Bank
1. Send money through Xoom or Western Union. You'll first need to register on the individual company's website. Click the “Register” button on the site; complete the entire registration process and provide your own bank account information or credit/debit card number. Once you’re registered, click “Send Money.” Select "Germany" as the recipient’s country.Xoom and Western Union offer various options for sending money, such as cash delivery and cash pickup. You need to select “Bank Deposit” as the mode of transfer. The website will then ask you for the recipient’s bank account information and the amount you want to send. Provide this information and confirm the transfer to send the funds to a German bank.
2. Send money through PayPal. Register by going to the PayPal website and clicking on the “Sign Up” button. Provide your personal and bank account/credit/debit card details. Click “Send Money” after you've successfully registered. PayPal will then ask you to enter the recipient’s email address, the amount to be transferred and the currency (for instance, U.S. dollars or euros). After you've provide this information, click “Continue.” Review the provided information and confirm the transfer. The money will then be sent to the recipient’s account in Germany. If the recipient doesn’t already have a PayPal account, PayPal will send him an email with details on how to deposit funds to his German bank account.
3. Contact your local bank and ask if it allows wire transfers to European banks. You will be required to provide the recipient’s full name, bank account number, bank branch address, bank SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) code and IBAN (International Bank Account Number). The IBAN is the international standard used to identify international bank accounts all over the world; Germany’s IBANs consist of 22 characters. The SWIFT code, on the other hand, is an industry-owned standardized messaging service for 8,100 financial institutions across the world. If your recipient doesn’t have this information available, tell him to contact his bank.

How to Transfer Money From PayPal Faster
1. Apply for a PayPal debit Card. The card is sponsored by MasterCard and works like a normal bank-issued debit card. Certain requirements, such as a 'verified account,' minimum spending habits and up-to-date account information, apply. If you have more than $5,000 in transaction history and no outstanding issues, PayPal usually issues a card without hassle. Once the debit card is issued, it can be used to withdraw up to $400 a day from nearly any ATM. Check with the ATM provider for usage fees.
2. Make a payment to someone who can provide cash. Use the 'Donate' or 'Make a payment' feature to send money to someone else's PayPal account, then have that person give you cash. Someone who has a PayPal debit card can extract the cash from an ATM, but bank fees could apply.
3. Purchase an item online, then return it to the physical store. With quick shipping options, the item could arrive the next day and most of the time will include an invoice or receipt in the packaging. This serves as proof of purchase for returns. Most stores, including Walmart, will accept returns in this manner. Although this does take longer than the methods mentioned above, it can still take considerably less time than waiting for a bank transfer to complete. Check with the store in question to ensure that its return policy allows this type of return. Without a PayPal debit card, the refund could be in cash or store credit.
4. Transfer the money from PayPal to another online service that allows instant bank transfers or wire transfers. Some services, such as Xoom (xoom.com), can transfer the money faster and offer debit card services as well. Check with local and national laws to ensure that these services are available and that they allow cash withdrawals.
How to Bill Customers Monthly with PayPal
1. Log in to your PayPal account, and click the Merchant Services tab on the top menu.

Follow the on-screen instructions for all three steps to create a completely customized recurring subscription.
4. Click Create Button at the bottom of the screen.
5. In the next screen, copy and paste the custom code for your subscription button that PayPal generates for you. If you'd like to bill your customers via email, click the Email tab and copy and paste the custom billing URL into your invoice email.

PayPal amp; AMX Problems
Account Types
PayPal has two main options for collecting payments made by credit card. The first option is to place an order button on your site that links to PayPal. The customer completes the transaction on PayPal's website. An example is Express Checkout. With this type of PayPal-branded account, you will not have a problem with American Express. The second type of PayPal service is a merchant account, which means that you accept credit-card payments on your own website (Website Payments Pro) or through the mail, fax or phone (Virtual Terminal). Certain sellers encounter AMX payment problems with these merchant accounts.
History
On July 13, 2010, PayPal and American Express entered into a new agreement that includes restricted categories of transactions. Affected merchants using Website Payments Pro or Virtual Terminal must individually apply directly with AmEx to accept payments through PayPal. If American Express accepts the application, you won't have a problem collecting AMX payments through Website Payments Pro or Virtual Terminal. You can also use a Payflow Gateway account if you're accepted. If, however, the company denies your application, you can't accept payments through these merchant accounts.
Restricted Categories
If you do not sell products or services in any restricted category, then you do not have to worry about individual acceptance by American Express. If only some of your products and services are in a restricted category, then you could opt to segregate the restricted and non-restricted items into separate merchant accounts. Otherwise, a denial of your application on the restricted items would also deny your non-restricted items. At the time of publication, there are 25 restricted categories. Examples include securities, airlines, massage parlors and real estate.
Declined Transactions
If you haven't received approval from American Express to collect payments, your customers will experience declined payments when attempting to make an AMX transaction. The customer receives an error message, which could cause you to lose sales if she gets upset or is in too much of a hurry to prepare another credit card and go through the order process again.
Payment Flows
A payment flow is the process that your customers go through to buy your product. If you can't accept American Express, exclude it as an option in the payment flow. This process depends on your particular shopping cart and PayPal configuration. The PayPal "Tools" page provides details about the various ways to exclude American Express as a payment option.Another potential problem is the particular shopping cart that you use for e-commerce. If it doesn't provide a way to exclude American Express, switch shopping carts or post a message to your customers that you don't accept American Express.
Warnings
When you're opening a merchant account with PayPal, you'll see an American Express agreement. Even if you aren't a restricted merchant, you must agree to all terms of this agreement. Otherwise, you can't accept AMX payments.

PayPal Shipping Label Problems
Identification
A PayPal shipping label can be used in place of a United States Parcel Service (USPS)--or UPS on some accounts--label. PayPal allows the online business owner to process a shipment from the comfort of her computer, print the label, affix it to a package and then drop the item off at a local USPS (or UPS) shipping location.
Considerations
The PayPal Multi-Order shipping tool is particular about how many characters the shipper can include on each line of the recipient address on the shipping label. The combined address line (both Address 1 and Address 2) must be 40 characters or less. If the user types over that limit, the shipment cannot be processed through PayPal. This can pose a serious problem if the sender needs to ship an item to a person or business with a long address. To resolve this problem, the shipper can attempt to abbreviate the address. For instance, type in 'Pk' instead of 'Park' or 'Dr' instead of 'Drive.' The post man must be able to understand the abbreviated address and deliver the shipment to the correct party.
Date Issues
Some post offices are strict about the date that is listed on a PayPal shipping label. Some will reject a shipment if the computer-generated date on the label is inconsistent with the date the shipper drops off the package. To avoid this, a PayPal shipper must always select a realistic ship date that is consistent with the day he plans to drop off the item at the post office. If processing a PayPal shipment after postal business hours (usually 5:00 p.m. and later), the shipper should always use the next day as the ship day to be safe.
Pop-ups
Some PayPal users have issues viewing the label on screen to be printed. The main reason why a label does not load on screen is because of pop-up blocker software on the browser. The PayPal label appears inside of a pop-up window. To avoid this problem, the shipper can add 'Paypal.com' and 'Ship.paypal.com' to his allowed list within the pop-up blocker software. After restarting the browser and clearing the cache, the PayPal label will pop up on screen.
Printing Issues
If the user prints a label with delivery or signature confirmation, the label will need to be scanned by the post office. One major problem that many shippers and post offices face is a low-quality printout of the bar code on the label. The item cannot be scanned into the post office's tracking system if the bar code is too light or there are breaks in the lines due to a bad printer. The shipper will not be able to track the item in transit. To avoid this problem, a PayPal shipper must do a thorough cleaning of the printer head and ensure there is enough ink in the printer cartridges before processing a PayPal shipment. Also, print on high-quality, bright white paper that is at least 20 lbs. with 96 brightness.
How to Get Past the PayPal Spending Limit
1. Ensure that your Paypal account wasn’t suspended. If Paypal suspends your account, you won’t have access to your balance and none of these steps will help. You’ll need to contact Paypal and determine how to reinstate your account before you access your funds.
2. Add a credit card or debit card to your Paypal account. Log into your account, select the "Account Details" menu, and add a credit card to your account or update your credit card information. Paypal wants users to have a secondary form of payment, in case their balance isn’t sufficient enough to cover the cost of a purchase.
3. Verify your Paypal account by adding your bank account to your account. Add a bank account the same way you would a credit card, by selecting your account information. Once you verify your account, Paypal is more likely to increase your limit or remove the limit completely.
4. Upload documents that prove your identity to your Paypal account. Paypal requires this of certain users, especially those who have an unverified account or those without a credit card linked to the account. Upload a copy of your utility bill and picture ID using the "Resource Center" on the website.
5. Request a Paypal debit card. With a Paypal debit card, you have immediate access to your balance, but aren’t restricted to the same limits. If your account is limited, you can still use your Paypal debit card for purchases made both online and offline.

What Is a PayPal Expuse?
PayPal Verification Overview
PayPal offers customers several ways to verify their identity so they may be granted expanded user privileges, which include larger withdrawal limits and other perks. One of the easiest ways to verify your identity is to link a credit card to the account. Once you do this, PayPal will send two small payments from your PayPal account to the credit card, usually totaling about $1.95 as of the date of publication. This is often called an expuse charge. When sending the payment, PayPal will also send a four-digit code, which is the expuse code. This is what you will need when you log into PayPal to complete the verification process.
Begin Verification
Log into your PayPal account. Along the top of your account information, you should see a "Get Verified" link. Click this to go to the verification process page. Choose your preferred verification method from the possible choices. Your options will vary depending on what country you are in, but you should see options for linking a bank account or a credit card. Click the link for adding a credit card. Enter your credit card information and click "Continue." PayPal will attempt to make a deposit into the account. You should allow at least four business days for this to occur.
How to Obtain the Expuse Code
Most financial institutions will print the expuse code on your credit card billing statement, immediately before or after the word PayPal, and it will look something like "2468PAYPAL." If your bank is one of the few that doesn't print the code on the statement, or if you need to acquire the number before you receive the statement so you can verify your account, you can call your bank and request the code. PayPal discourages this practice due to numerous complaints from institutions and has previously issued statements saying they might close your account if they receive a complaint from your bank.
Once You Have the Code
When you have obtained your four-digit expuse code from your statement or by calling your credit card issuer, you'll need to enter the code in PayPal to complete the verification process. Log into your account. On the right side of the page, you should see a link urging you to complete the verification process. Click the link to go to the verification page. Enter the amounts of the two deposits and the expuse number in the corresponding boxes and click the "Continue" button. If you entered the correct information, you should see a message stating that the verification was successful.

How to Avoid Paypal Fees
1. When you first establish a Pay Pal account it will automatically be set up as a personal account. Keep it this way! Do not upgrade to a premier or business account or you will incur fees for many PayPal deposits and credit card transactions. A personal account is perfect for people who are simply buying items on ebay or getting monthly deposits from a site like ehow.com.
2.
If you're a novice seller on Ebay don't accept debit or credit cards. Pay Pal will charge you almost 5% of the sale price plus thirty cents to receive a credit card payment. Instead, ask your buyers to do an instant Paypal transfer, issue you a Paypal echeck, or pay with the balance in their account. This way, it's free!
3. When making a withdrawal, transfer the money to a linked checking or savings account instead of requesting that Paypal issue you a check. For a check to be printed and mailed to you - you'll face a $1.50 Paypal fee.

How Much Can I Spend Through PayPal?
When You First Sign Up With PayPal
To sign up with PayPal, you will fill out a form asking you general information about yourself. Your name, address, phone number, and most importantly your email and a valid credit card. Your email is important because it is how PayPal will communicate with you and it becomes your PayPal ID. Once you have filled out the sign up form, PayPal will send you an email to the email address you have provided to them. In that email PayPal will ask you to click a link to confirm that this is really your email and you are the one who wished to sign up with PayPal.After you have completed the sign up procedure for PayPal, you may begin to make purchases or send money. Your purchases will be subtracted from the credit card you have attached to your newly created PayPal account.With only a credit card for spending funds on your PayPal account, PayPal will limit your spending to $2,000. To have this limit lifted, or removed, you must go one step further and verify your PayPal account.

To confirm your added bank account, go to PayPal and log onto your account. You then will authorize two small deposits that PayPal will make to the bank account that you registered, at PayPal's own expense. These deposits should happen within two or three days after you have requested your bank account be confirmed by PayPal. You will then need to enter correctly the amounts of the two deposits on the PayPal website. After completing that, PayPal will consider your bank account and your PayPal account classified as verified, and spending limits on your account will be lifted.

Pay Pal Security Account Access Has Been Limited
Phishing Scam
Scammers send official looking emails to targets attempting to gain access to your account. The email provides a reason for the limiting of your account and directs you to the 'Resolution Center' to resolve the problem. If the email is from a scammer, the resolution center is a website designed to steal your username and password. Clues that the email is a fraud include a non-personalized greeting, requests for sensitive information and links that send you to a site that does not end in paypal.com, according to Cyber Top Cops. If you have concerns about the validity of an email from PayPal, login to your account from the page you normally use to check for a message. If there is no message in your account, forward the entire email -- including headers -- to spoof@paypal.com.
Reasons for Limiting Access
PayPal limits account access to protect customers and the company if there are issues with an account. Reasons for limiting access include possible security breaches, disputes or charge backs and violations of PayPal policies, according to PayPal. While PayPal does send users an email notification when it places restrictions on accounts, account holders can verify the access limits by logging in to their account from PayPal's website.
Resolving Limited Access
To resolve limited access issues, login to your user account and click the Resolution Center in the menu options. Often removing the limits requires nothing more than verifying your identity by sending PayPal a copy of your driver's license or other identification documents. When you supply the information that PayPal requests, they will review the documents and lift the restrictions. While verification can take longer in some instances, PayPal tries to complete reviews within 48 hours after receiving documentation.
Considerations
The ability to send or receive money during limited access to your account is dependent on the reason for the limitation. Typically, you will be able to continue receiving money but withdrawing money may not be possible until you resolve the problem. If resolution does not occur within a couple of days, you should contact PayPal by phone to determine the steps you must take to have access to your funds.

Will PayPal Make Deposits to an Overdrawn Bank Account?
Linked Bank Account
When you sign up for PayPal, you have the option of linking your bank account to your PayPal account. PayPal will send two small deposits to the account you specify. After you receive the deposits, log in to PayPal to enter the amounts of the deposits to verify your account. If you did not link your account when you opened your PayPal account, you can link your accounts later by clicking on 'Add Bank Account' on your account overview page and entering the requested information.
Transferring Funds
Once PayPal verifies your bank account, you can transfer money from your PayPal account to your bank account by clicking on the 'Withdraw' link from youe account overview page and choosing 'Transfer to Bank Account.' Enter the amount you wish to transfer and choose your account from the drop-down menu. If your bank account information is wrong, PayPal will charge you a fee for funds returned to your account.
Delay to Transfer
It will take three to four business days for the money transfer to complete. During this time, your bank account will remain overdrawn and you will not be able to access the money from PayPal. It can take longer depending on your bank's policies. There is a $1 minimum withdrawal amount if you are in the United States.
Considerations
If you need to cover your overdrafts quickly and you have a PayPal debit account, you can get cash off of your card to put in your bank account. Typically, you will pay a fee if you withdraw cash from an ATM, but if you request cash back from a purchase there are no fees. You can then take the cash to your bank to deposit into your account.
Alternatives to PayPal eChecks
PayPal Balance
You can make payments directly from your PayPal account balance. You will need to first link your bank account in order to add funds to the balance. Linking your bank account can take a matter of minutes if you use online banking; otherwise, it will take several days for your bank account to be linked. The recipients of your payments will not see your bank account information if you choose this option.
Debit or Credit Card
You can use your debit or credit card as a source of funding when you don't have enough money in your PayPal balance to make payments. PayPal permits the use of four types of credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express.You need to add your credit or debit card number to your PayPal profile to use this option. PayPal requires you to go through a confirmation process to make sure you are the rightful owner of the card. Keep in mind that if you have money left over in your account balance, PayPal will use that money up first before resorting to your debit or credit card. Using this option will not expose your debit or credit card number to recipients.
PayPal Credit Products
PayPal Plus Credit Card and PayPal Buyer Credit are two PayPal-specific products available to members. These products are exclusively designed for PayPal members, as stated on PayPal's website. The PayPal Plus Credit Card is a MasterCard that you can use anywhere (online or in person), regardless of whether PayPal payments are accepted.You must go through an application process to obtain a PayPal credit card; if, for some reason, your application is rejected, PayPal will consider you for Buyer Credit, which is similar to the credit card, except you can only use it where PayPal payments are accepted. In addition, reward points and other perks are not available to PayPal Buyer Credit users as they are for the MasterCard holders.

Log in to your online banking account and see if your bank provides a wire transfer service. If it does, sign up for it. Go to the wire transfer page and type in the account number of the other person's bank account. Type in the amount that you wish to transfer.

It is also possible to make wire transfers on a regular basis; you can set the transfer rate to every year, the first day of the month, or even weekly.
PayPal
Set up a PayPal account. Contact the person to whom you want to send money and ask him to send you a money request through his PayPal account. Once the request reaches you, send him the amount he needs through your bank account that is linked to PayPal, a debit or credit card, or your available PayPal balance. PayPal will process the payment to the other person, and he can withdraw the money and put it in his bank account for a one-time transaction fee. If you want the other person to have the exact amount of money that he requested, you need to add as much money as PayPal will take away during the transaction. The rates for a personal transfer are 2.9 percent of the purchase plus an added 30 cents. If you are making a payment for a product, such as on eBay, the transaction fee can range from 1.9 percent to 2.9 percent of the amount received and an additional 30 cents.
Transfer Among Family Members
If you know all the information of the other person's bank account, such as for a family member, you can use these methods.Call or go to the bank and ask the teller for a transfer from one bank account to another. Tell her how much you want to transfer and the bank account where it is to be transferred. You will have to provide some form of identification. If your ATM has an option for transferring money to different bank accounts, click on it and follow the prompts on the screen. Some banks will not let you transfer money though bank accounts for security reasons.To transfer the money online, set up an online account. All your bank accounts will show up (including the bank account that you want to transfer to, if you have the information). Click 'Transfer' and choose which bank account you want to transfer money from. Choose the account that you want to transfer the money to and click 'Transfer' or 'Complete.' This can also be done through cell phones enabled with mobile Internet, making your bank accounts much more accessible.

How to Classify Outright PayPal Fees
1. Determine the exact nature of each individual PayPal fee on a transaction by transaction basis and group them together as processing fees or monthly subscription or feature fees.
2. Total each group of fees and compare them to the statement on the PayPal account as well as the totals from your accounting system to ensure all fees are listed.
3. Record the transaction fees as bank service charges, just like you would record a fee at an ATM machine for withdrawing cash or an ACH merchant fee from accepting a credit card.

How to Invest in Gold With PayPal
1. Determine the current spot price of gold. The spot price of gold is the current price that gold is trading for in either the London or New York bullion markets. Any website that has commodity prices will carry the current spot price for an ounce of gold.
2. Identify coins to buy. Armed with the current spot price of gold, you can buy coins on online auction houses, through online gold dealers and through bullion exchange companies. The spread is the difference between the buy and sell price. As a general rule dealers will buy coins for less than the current spot price and sell coins for more than the current price. The room in the middle is called the spread.
3. Set up a PayPal account. Setting up a PayPal account involves providing them with a verifiable address, generally through a credit card or bank account. PayPal will also require you to fund your account when you set it up and to provide funds for future transactions.
4. Pay for your gold using PayPal. Using a popular online auction like eBay requires a seller to pay via PayPal. To pay via PayPal, simply enter in the e-mail address of the person you wish to buy from and click 'send.' Purchases on eBay are covered by a warranty as well, and this adds additional protection.

What Is a PayPal ID?
Definition
The registration process requires you to fill out a form asking you to enter a password with a minimum of eight characters, your name, and address and phone number. Your ID is your email address, which is specific to you, and together with your password, is the only way you can access your account.
Identification
When you have a PayPal account, you can add as many as eight different user IDs or email addresses to your account. Make sure you enter them correctly as this is how you receive email notifications about your account. After you add a new email address, which is actually a new ID, it takes 24 hours for PayPal to update your account. As a security measure, PayPal requires you to confirm your email address before you can add or edit a new or existing PayPal ID.
Linking eBay with PayPal
If you have more than one eBay account and want to link your eBay accounts to your PayPal account, log into your PayPal account, click 'Profile,' click 'Auctions,' then click 'Add.'

You will also receive an email from eBay confirming the link.
Fraud Protection
Protect yourself. PayPal fraud protection only works if you protect your ID and password combination. Never give this information to anyone whom you don't want to have access to your account. PayPal never sends you an email asking for personal information. PayPal never calls you and asks for personal information such as your ID and password. PayPal representatives will direct you to call them or to email them with your concerns or information.
