I'm thinking about getting a Paypal account to make trades easier....
Who uses it here, what are the main benefits, what are the problems, and how safe & easy to use is it?
Cheers in advance for any help....

I use mine all the time & find it a great way to help open trading to foriegn buyers.
However, do watch out if you decide to take on one of the higher level accounts. I set mine up as a premier account (or whatever they call it...) so I could also accept credit card payments, but with that ability you also get fees & they can mount up when put in addition to ebay fees to a good portion of a transaction.
However, this doesnt stop me using it - its just something to bear in mind. I take Paypal payment for all overseas customers & not for UK customers.

So how do you use paypal if you don't have a credit card? Do they send you a bill or what?
I probably could find this info from the website but I'd like to hear it from actual users.

I have used it for about a year and so far no problems.
I don't have a credit card but use my bank account.
Also it sure simplifies international orders. Since I am so isolated from the world, I don't usually bid unless they take Paypal.
just a personal note: I don't have "any" Super Heavy tanks. 
Did someone say "grunts forever"?

I have been using Paypal for quite some time. My only issue was the way they forced me to upgrade. Othe then that, I have not had any issues.

For me, PayPal is a necessary evil. I dont particularly like PayPal, but you cant ignore how useful it is. It can be essential when I buy things from overseas and it does make things a lot easier.
