    PayPal verification

    I only had to add my credit card to become verified. This is different from country o country. That is my opinion, because I heard that a friend of mine only had to send them his electricity bill to get this verification.

    What happens if there is no money in the account?

    It is better to leave a small sum on the bank account always. So you never get into the trouble to be not able to pay your bank fees.

    Why Paypal?

    Sorry, you are wrong. they have no "legal" bank status. Behaving like a bank does not mean, you are a bank. Otherwise you have to follow special rules, which Paypal is not following right now. Quote from wiki: In the United States, PayPal is licensed as a money transmitter on a...

    I have made my decision. I will wait for another year and see, if the market has gone through this recession. Better the money on the bank account instead of loosing it in a not working company.

    The safety of PayPal account.

    Sorry, but they are not safe at all. Why I am saying that? Well, my "regular" bank asks me to do a password and my account number to start their online banking, after that I have to give them a security key (which only I know) and doing something in my account need a transaction number and...

    Why Paypal?

    First of all Paypal is not a bank! Read the agreement, you have signed with them. There is not protection or bank safety- they are no bank at all. "1.1 PayPal is only a Payment Service Provider. PayPal helps you make payments to and accept payments from third parties. PayPal is an independent...

    Twice the Money out of the ATM mashine

    You know that this little ATM machine has a little printer, which prints every move this machine does? If the machine grabs one note for 50 and took two. This is recorded on the printing and on the chip inside the ATM machine. So, if you get 200 instead of 100, you pay 200 to your bank.

    Does YouTube turn a profit?

    Of course they have money and they make money. Yesterday I was on you tube and almost every video has a linked advertisement to amazon or some other selling store. If you get 5 % of every purchase, you can make a lot of money. And most music videos are linked to direct song downloads.

    Question about Obama, why the hell do they call him the leader of the free world.

    Yes, it comes from Cold War times. But "leader of the free world"? I do not think so. Read the Patriot Act once and you will not believe that the USA is still "the land of the free". By the way, "leader of the free world" is not used regulary in Europe for the president of the USA since...

    A black Chevrolet Suburban - and I will look down on the little red Ferraris and Porsches in front of me. Just joking, I am a real off road fan and I like these big black trucks a lot.

    Offshore Bank Account where, how and what ?

    May be Liechtenstein should be your choice. They have nearly the same rules and reglements like Swiss banks have. And they are as trustworthy as the Swiss banks.
