I Got My Own Paypal Account

Alot of people use Paypal nowadays to make and receive payments. And bloggers use it when making money from blogs. I do not have the interest of having a Paypal account but few weeks ago I received an email from Google.com with reports overview of my money-earned from contextual program Google-Adsense. A lot of resources I read about the program with question How do I get paid? When? and Where? but having a Paypal account is the easiest way to get the money and transfer it in just few clicks.

PayPal’s great. If you were intimidated by it before, then maybe after doing a little more research you won’t be.

One of the greatest things about it is that it’s free. Sometimes using a credit card online will result in big fees, especially if you are buying something in a different currency. Personal accounts with PayPal are free. Personal accounts differ from business accounts in that you would be using your account to pay for things, instead of receiving money.

PayPal may require you to validate your account, though. This would require you to submit personal information, like a bank account number, where they would deposit a small amount of money into your account and once you receive it, you need to tell them how much they’ve put in. This prevents people from creating many accounts and limits money laundering.

If your password got compromised, it could have direct consequences … What can you do about it? I’ve just realized they’ve got a new security feature in the form of security keys. secure token or use your cell phone as a substitute. That’s a pretty wise way to do it without having to carry a secure token with you. It’s pretty simple: they send you a text message with a security code every time you log in. So someone with your password could not log in if they don’t have your cell phone (or secure token) as well. Simply brilliant!
