Paypal makes it difficult to use a credit card to send money through Paypal. This is done making credit card payment option difficult to find, and warning users about "risk" because you cannot buy Paypal's insurance.

With a credit card purchase, you do not need Paypal's insurance. Your bank will reverse charge free if seller scams you.

One other way Paypal makes it hard for users to instantly send money with a credit card is by limiting total amount you can charge.

The first time I tried to use Paypal to pay for an eBay auction, I was unable to use my credit card because amount was above limit. That was a $700 item. I think single item limit is $500, but could not find confirmation of this. The lifetime limit, or total amount you can send all eBay sellers with a credit card is $2,000.

If you wish to pay for an item with a credit card through Paypal you should confirm seller takes card transactions. This can be done reviewing auction and looking for credit card logos adjacent to Paypal logo in payment methods screen.

Whenever you pay for an eBay auction through Paypal, you should check seller's Paypal status. Do not send large amounts to unverified users, and watch that user's address matches auction details.

Paypal is an easy way to pay for your eBay purchases.

When I started developing a home based business, making a good income was obviously an objective, but I also had other sub-objectives. One of most important things was to have nearly total time flexibility (I mean, if I was willing to continue to wear 9-5 Mon-Fri collar I could just have just stayed in previously "traditional" work force).

Time flexibility was (and still is) a "biggie" for me. Many people working at home have same need for various reasons. For work at home moms, a home business can be a real godsend to accommodate hectic time pressures, particularly when kids are quite young and mom is also spelled "transportation". In my own particular case, reason is not quite so noble...I just want (need?) to be able to pick up my fly rod and go fishing at a moments notice (sometimes I'll be gone for a week or two at a time, but now business has enough momentum that it keeps on operating just as well as if I were here tending to it on a daily basis).

Bear in mind, I am only able do breakaway thing now that I have put in all up-front time and effort and now have developed enough kinetic energy in my home-based Internet business to be able to enjoy fruits of my labor.
