You can send money to friends through your personal account. All you need to do is specify the recipient's address.

Buyer Protection Service. If the purchased product is of poor quality and it is not possible to resolve the issue of replacement with the seller, then buyer protection should be enabled.

PayPal shares personal information with third parties. This is necessary to process the transaction. It is unknown how third-party companies will use personal data.

Sellers must pay a tax of 4% on the PayPal amount. If the seller refuses to pay, the money is withheld from the buyer.

A fee applies when using a PayPal credit card to pay for items.

Creating a personal account for a legal entity takes a lot of time. The payment system takes a long time to verify the information.

Why are payments with PayPal more profitable?

Users of the system have the opportunity to send money from a real bank account that is linked to the system. When paying, real money is transferred, not electronic money (analogues), which are popular.

The benefit of the calculations is that registering an account and purchasing with PayPal is free. Exceptions are the purchase of goods from foreign partners. In this case, currency conversion occurs when sending.

For transfers in rubles to friends or relatives from the account balance, no commission is charged.

The only thing we must not forget is that you must be of legal age to create a PayPal account and open an e-wallet. But even at this point, eyes are often closed if registering a PayPal account is used only for personal payments via the Internet.

How to register with PayPal if you are under 18? Without a passport indicating your age, it is also possible to create a wallet. This is possible due to the fact that during the process of creating an account there is no need to upload copies of your documents to the payment system website.

Advantages of PayPal in Russia

Pay Pal appeared in the Russian Federation not long ago, but managed to win the trust of Russian users.

A high level of service, efficiency of financial transactions and security make EPS indispensable. The service has a wide range of advantages.

Globality

Many people know what PayPal is. The service has been on the market for 22 years. He managed to prove himself well. At the same time, it is actively developing.

The list of services is gradually expanding. Supported:

  • Money transfers;
  • loans;
  • payment for services and purchases.

At the same time, the geography of influence is growing. Today, residents from 200 countries can use Paypal.

Users can carry out operations using 25 currencies. Customer support offices are gradually opening in different countries.

Shopping security

PayPal guarantees customer safety. EPS adheres to the Privacy Policy. Does not transfer data to third parties.

The recipient of the funds sees only the email, other information is hidden.

The EPS website uses https encryption. At the same time, customer information is stored in encrypted form.

When visiting an account, the system checks whether the legal owner wants to use the money in the account.

The German inspection service TÜV-Saarland checked the Paypal security system and was satisfied with the results.

Wallet owners do not have to worry about their money ending up in the hands of scammers. The likelihood of this happening is extremely low.

Simplicity

Many people know how to use PayPal. Most users note the ease of working with the service.

You just need to provide your payment details and confirm the transaction by entering a code for the transfer to be completed.

The website contains detailed instructions that allow you to quickly carry out financial transactions.

Convenient payment method

The Paypal service allows you to quickly pay for purchases abroad, on E-bay and in local stores.

Conduct transactions easily from PC and mobile devices. Account owners can exchange funds and transfer money within the system in a matter of seconds.

Additional guarantees of transaction security

As part of the fight against fraudulent schemes and deception of buyers, the PayPal system provides for blocking payment until the buyer confirms receipt of the goods. Only after this the seller gets access to his profit. This may seem overly strict to some, but the reviews available on PayPal confirm that this approach is completely justified. If the buyer does not receive the goods or it does not correspond to the stated description, he has the right to challenge the transaction within 45 days.

Payment limits and withdrawal restrictions in PayPal

There are several nuances that are worth knowing and taking into account when working with your wallet. This payment system has such a thing as a limit on a one-time payment (there is also a monthly limit, but for RuNet users the first option is most often used). For residents of the countries of the former Soviet Union (Ukraine, Belarus, etc.), this same limit on a one-time payment can vary and at a minimum is only $50 (usually more). This is very little even when purchased in a Chinese store.

For Russia, now everything has changed a lot for the better (you can keep rubles in your account and withdraw them to your bank) - the bar has risen to quite large amounts. there is no commission charged for withdrawing money from your PayPal account to the bank :

You can view your current limits in the new interface by scrolling to the bottom of the main page and finding the “Check your account limits” :

For example, in my country (Russia) the amount of a one-time payment cannot exceed 60,000 rubles. This is enough for me, but you can make a reserve for the future and click on the “Increase limits” :

Your account limits and capabilities will depend on how much information you have verified about yourself. Ideally, you need to confirm not only the Email box, but also add and then confirm the card attached to the account. Well, in order to get maximum opportunities, you will also need to confirm your passport details by sending a scan of your passport.

In this regard, Paypal turns out to be a payment system that is far from anonymous, but it significantly increases the security of work. It is precisely because of this that it has become the most popular method of payment for won items on eBay, and at the same time in all major online stores of the bourgeoisie. PayPal is not yet so popular in RuNet, but most likely this is a temporary phenomenon, especially in light of the fact that now you can open your account there in rubles and they can, if necessary, be withdrawn to your account in any Russian bank without additional commission. .

PayPal Buyer Protection

Unlike other EPS, the PayPal wallet helps its users receive compensation if the purchased product turns out to be defective or does not match the description. Having proven that he is right, the buyer receives full compensation for the purchase price.

To do this you need:

  • within 180 calendar days from the date of payment, open a dispute through the Problem Resolution Center;
  • after opening a dispute, there are 20 days left to convert the dispute into a claim;
  • provide documentary evidence of your innocence. In addition to the purchase price, you can also receive shipping compensation. To do this, you need to submit a corresponding request within 14 calendar days after sending the goods to the seller.

The program does not apply to purchases of transport, industrial equipment, or real estate.

Withdrawing money

In Russia, until recently, it was not possible to withdraw money from the system, so many Internet services appeared that offered this service on a paid basis. The commission for such a transaction is quite high, so when setting up a business on the Internet, this had to be taken into account. At the moment, exchange sites are used by citizens of other CIS countries if there is a need to receive money to their bank account or to another payment system from PayPal. User reviews confirm that the services really work, but the commission is not encouraging.

However, at the moment in Russia it is possible to withdraw money to a bank account without interest or any overpayments.

There's nothing complicated about PayPal - expand your capabilities!

PayPal Features: Limits and Security

The limit of funds that can be used in the PayPal system depends on the level of account verification. If you use an unconfirmed account, the user can spend or accept no more than 15 thousand rubles or the currency equivalent of the specified amount per day. The monthly limit on the movement of funds on the account is 40 thousand rubles. PayPal imposes such restrictions on users for security reasons. How to enjoy more freedom and expand the limit? All you need to do is verify your account.

The system has two types of verification: simplified and complete. After passing the simplified limit, the limit increases to 60 thousand rubles per day and up to 200 thousand per month. Full verification makes it possible to send up to 550 thousand rubles in a one-time payment, this significantly expands the user’s capabilities.

Linking a bank card

Another important step required to start working with the system is linking a bank card to your account. This is done so that you can use the money in your account to pay for various goods and services on the Internet; it is to this card that you can withdraw money from the system.

You need to enter the number, expiration date and code located on the back of the card. After this, the system will begin checking it. It is advisable that it is not a credit card, but a debit card, that is, a payment card. PayPal charges a small amount of money from the card to verify the possibility of contact and transfer of funds. It's usually $1.9 and it's not a service fee. After the cardholder confirms that the withdrawal of money was made with his knowledge and is completely legal, the card is considered confirmed and the funds are returned to the bank account.
