Purchase advice from eBay

I don't know if Paypal operates in Yemen, but you should be able to sign up an account at their website if they do. From there you add your banking information. They may require some proof of identity, but usually they do not. Their policies may vary by country, but in the US at least, you can send up to $2000 total before you have to add a bank account to verify the account. You can not receive money until you add a bank account.

Internet crime/ID theft is always a possibility when shopping online, but actual stores are often no safer anymore, and there are devices that can read information on a credit card's magnetic stripe by simply being in proximity to the card. I know someone locally who had their debit card info compromised a week after getting their card in the mail and they had only used it at a few local businesses. There is little safe anymore in that regard.

Your best option in this circumstance may be to use a trusted contact in a country that the sellers will ship to, who will then forward the goods to you once they receive it. You can either purchase directly and have the goods sent to them or provide them the money to make the purchase. You can use a secondary address on eBay, many buyers do. Sellers are often not willing to send to an unverified address, but if your contact has a verified address on their own account, it should be verified when you add it. However I can not 100% certain guarantee this will be the case for an international address.

The $2000 is a MAXIMUM amount you are allowed to send with Paypal if your account is unverified. Once you reach the $2000 spending limit you must add a bank account to Paypal to continue to send money. It does not have to be $2000 spent all at once, it accumulates over time. You can also add the bank info at any time before the limit is reached, and you are also allowed to receive money when you add the bank info.

Thanks a lot,

Could you please address these points for me to finish this problem?

1- Creating or owning a Paypal payment will require me to request a Paypal card manually from a bank in my own country or I can just have a Paypal payment by just singing up an account in their website?

2- how much do you think I should have to be allowed to sign up an account at Paypal website?

3- While signing up an account at Paypal, I faced that I should type in the Card number, and Expiration data and CSC to continue creating my account. So, if I will need to type the Card number, and expiration data, and CSC of only a credit card of mine? If so, then I am quite afraid that when typing in the information of my main credit card, I will put my credit card at high risk since all my saving amounts are deposited in this card since this my main credit card.
However, if I can type in my CSC, card number, and expiration data of my master card, then no problem with my to continue creating my account at Paypal since my master card is only deposited/charged with $60?




4 - I have been notified by Paypal service 'Use your credit card or bank account without exposing your financial information to merchants.' So, if this was true, then I would expose my financial information to Paypal employees?


5- Master Card is allowed to be linked to my Paypal account????

Yep it is and the terms are all one sided and not on yours
I personally would never give paypal a debit card info that is for lack of a better word insane

Credit card maybe the only penalties are interest but at least you have your credit card company to turn to for some type of recourse which isn't much but at least you can get a temporary credit and if no one responds... within 30 or 60 days the temporary credit is final,

Try doing that with a bank account
But for the most part avoid ebay and paypal.

Mastercard should be fine.

You can add both a credit card and bank account to your Paypal account, but you can select the funding source with each payment you send.

Thank you both of you very much indeed,
Firstly: if Mastercard can be linked to my Paypal account, then what difference is there to create Paypal account. I can pay for my purchases with using my mastercard.

Secondly: My bank account is just an account. So, How to add a bank account to my Paypal account as long as my bank account doesn't have 'Card number', and Expiration data and CSC' which are required to be filled in as those screen shots posted before? . I think you must have meant with adding my bank account in my Paypal account with adding my credit card issued by my bank and associated with my bank account.

Thirdly: Then what benefit is there from issuing master card and even Paypal payment if we consider 'But for the most part avoid ebay and paypal.'

ThrashZone's advice is due to the fact a lot of people dislike eBay and Paypal for various reasons. Unfortunately it is not possible for everyone to avoid them. They are often the only marketplace for vintage goods or to have certain modern goods delivered to you if you only have limited stores in your area. As nice as it would be to purchase everything we need from local stores, this isn't always possible so sites such as eBay and Amazon have their place.

A bank account is usually a routing number and an account number, though this may vary based on country. Paypal probaby wants you to use a credit card to sign up, but you will add the bank account separately later on.

If a shop takes credit cards directly, then Paypal isn't necessary. It's a payment processor used by many people now because merchant accounts cost money to open and maintain and because individuals can easily use Paypal.
