Paypal is now already available for Indonesia. Therefore, for you who live in Indonesia, you can use the Paypal service for any online shopping, such as from eBay or Amazon. Not only for the buyers, if you have any online shop or selling goods in eBay, you can also accept the payment through Paypal.
If you are familiar with the online shopping, then of course you must’ve known about PayPal. However, there are lots of people who do not yet known about what is Paypal. Many people simply use their credit cards to accommodate their online purchasing. As a matter of a fact, using your credit card for an online purchasing can be risky and not safe, because not all vendors are trust-worthy. It is very possible that they will keep your credit card data and mis-use the data or even sell these data illegally. One easy way to avoid such thing in online shopping is by having Paypal.
To define the term, Paypal is basically an electronic alternative to traditional methods, such as money and checks, used in an e-commerce business to accommodate money transfer and payment made through the internet. – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PayPal
With Paypal, the risk of online shopping can be minimized, because your credit card data is kept safely. The vendor where you purchase particular good will not know your credit card details, because you only need to use your paypal e-mail. With this method, Paypal will later charge your shopping bills through the credit card that you have registered in your Paypal account.
Besides that, if there is any illegal transaction using your Paypal account, for example, there is another person who uses your Paypal account for shopping without you know it, you can complain to the Paypal team. The Paypla team will check your account, such as your IP login, as well as requesting other compulsory documents, starting from your ID card, driving license card, phone bill, and etc. If you can prove your claim by being able to provide all the details that the Paypal team requested, then they will give your money back by retrieving the fund from the online vendor where this illegal transaction occurs. It is also subject to the ability of the online vendor to give any proof whether they have sent the goods in accordance to the address of your Paypal account. Therefore, any online purchasing using Paypal is considered much safer than directly using the credit card.
