Can you get scammed through PayPal?

Answer 1

Yes, paying people from eBay is pretty safe but paying people through email is dangerous.

I recently almost got scammed into selling someone my ultrasharp monitor and he was willing to pay a lot of money. I almost went through with it until I looked up a bit of information on him. I found a whole site dedicated on his different emails. I could tell it was the same guy because he used the same message for everyone but changed the words around, he even used the same mispelling of words in every message.

I encourage you to get as much information about the person and look them up. If it looks suspicious, its probably not real.

Good luck.

No it is not. It is a tool for small, and large, business to sell their wares. They also allow individuals to make internet purchases safely, with many rules designed to protect both seller and buyer. They are also used to make purchases on eBay, as well as many other online stores and websites.
