Is it just me or does Paypal not feel "real"

[MEG Hal]

Me too!

My problem is I run a few auctions to make a few bucks and then use the paypal money on other auctions plus some of my own.

Me too, bought more weird stuff when I had paypal bucks just sitting there...
makes my kids happy though.

Yea, if a customer pays me for work through PayPal, I am inclined to leave it there and spend it in E-Bay as opposed to transferring it to the bank....

Building a painted mini collection gets damn expensive. No thanks to PayPal...

I don't trust Paypal Hal. Never have and probably I never will.

Paypal HAL:

I'm not questioning your word, Dave,
but it's just not possible. I'm not
capable of being wrong.

It's like how casinos use chips instead of cash; it's not real money, so losing/spending it doesn't matter; that's how it seems to some people.

Considering the amount of online purchasing I do, PayPal is a godsend. I've used it to buy everything from DVDs to a laptop. Never a problem.

Good stuff.

And low calorie. But still addictive.

Strangely, perhaps because I'm vaguely paranoid, it seems far realler to me than just getting cash out of a machine and spending it in shops. I suppose that's going to go away once I get confident enough to make more than 2 purchases per year and go without the week-long parental consultation period, I guess.

Anybody here actually looked at this?

I find it quite frightening. That said, I've just set up a checking account at my bank JUST for eBay/PayPal transactions so that I can keep a tight rein on it.

And Hal, I think your sig pic is a bit large - both in size and in file size (190+ kb). It would be cool if you could make it a bit smaller. Thanks, mate.
