I love PayPal, it's very safe. But the downside is, they take out alot of fees when you recieve or send a payment. They have to get ya somehow!

I got screwed over a while ago and got my credit card number stolen. It was such a process to get cleared up. PayPal ended up putting a block on my account so no one could buy anything. I had to fill out stupid reports and it was just an inconvience. I wouldnt recommend PayPal to a friend just because of the expirence I have had.

Paypal is safe to utilize for a home based buisness. I would just suggest thatg you set up a seperate account for them to make the deposits into if you find that you are really doing a heavy volume of sales. Secondly you will also want to remeber that for every transaction thru paypal they take a percentage and this cuts into your money
