The big question is how safe is it to use paypal?

The answer is a qualified yes. PayPal has powerful fraud and consumer protections in place.

“In a recent PayPal transaction, I signed in from a location where I don’t usually do business,” says Robert Siciliano, CEO of IDTheftSecurity.com. “They required me to receive a phone call and respond to prompts. That was an extra layer of protection.” In the past, banks typically didn’t take those added measures, but some are now beginning to do so, he says.

“PayPal covers consumers when they don’t receive an item or when the item is significantly different from what the merchant described,” says Wendy Roberts, head of technology education for PayPal. “PayPal customers are not liable for fraudulent charges to their PayPal accounts.”

However, there’s a downside to PayPal being the world’s most recognizable online payment system: It’s also the biggest target because it is often taken advantage of by phishers,” says John Breyault, vice president of public policy, telecommunications and fraud at the National Consumers League. Phishing is the practice of using fraud and/or malicious software to obtain customers’ usernames and passwords in order to gain access to their accounts.
Fortunately, if you use PayPal, you can maximize the security of your sensitive payment information by following a few simple steps:

1. Do not link your PayPal account to your bank account or debit card.
Why: Someone who gains fraudulent access to your PayPal account could clean out your bank account, too. This happened to Nicole Dunn, CEO of Dunn Pellier Media public relations, who purchased an item worth about $100. Soon after, her debit card was declined at a gas station, even though she had just deposited her paycheck. “It was one of those heart attack moments,” she says. “I looked at my bank account and it was overdrawn by $3,000.” PayPal refunded the money, but wound up crediting the wrong amount and then demanded a $450 repayment, Dunn says. The experience was enough of a hassle that she now avoids using PayPal.

Yee minimum deposit is 20k and how fast it is exhausted depends on the traffic your ads pull which largely depends on the sections you decide to place your ads...

I mostly place on business sections and i place on thr home page at intervals but i don't leave it on home page for long... Why?

The traffic on home page is so big that people click yours ads a lot and your ads is charged per click...

Also, use your whatsapp link on your ads image so clickers get sent to your whatsapp directly...

I once used my website link and i discovered most people get tired looking thru the website to find how to contact me directly...
