I have notice more and more ebay auctions offering Pay Pal as a payment option. Anyone use this option to buy or sell stuff on ebay? I had a Pay Pal account a while back but closed it when I started to receive emails from pay pal saying I needed to update my account. At the time this made me parinoid so I closed my Pay Pal account. Have not used it since. It turned out however that some of those emails were FAKE, and not form Pay Pal.

I still have doubts about useing it, so in the meantime I look for auctions that have Money Orders as a form of payment. Although I did use Bid Pay from Western Union.

I just wanted to know what everyone thinks about Pay Pal? I know it is affiliated with ebay, and is safe well by ebay standards, maybe I need more convinceing?
