After so long knowing that this service exists, I just made up my mind to sign up last night. I am seriously thinking to have an online shop for mainly my photography.

However, I still have to learn a lot on how to use it as a paying tool. :P Do you have an account there? Anything you can share to me?

the main thing is to be suspicious of any email you get that takes you to a paypal looking site. Lots of hackers who have used this dodge. Examine the web address you get to very carefully. If it doesn't say paypal.com or [link] it's probably a fake. If you are not sure, forward it to abuse@paypal.com and ask them.

Other than that, remember that money paid to you by paypal might not go directly into your bank account immediately, sometimes it takes a couple days. However,money you pay comes out right away.

I use it both for selling and buying, though I've not really sold any photos that way. I've sold them here (a grand total of three), and on smugmug.com. But neither are pay pal users. I've been thinking of putting some on ebay, and i think some of your stuff is unique enough that it might find a buyer there.

Good luck on a website. It can be very rewarding, but for sure is a lot of work.

I have two brain hemispheres. In the left one there is nothing right and in the right one there is nothing left.

Hi, thanks a lot!!! That's a very useful information. I was not aware of the things that you have just told me. I'm going to learn more about ebay and see how I can make the best use of it.

Thanks again! :hug:
