Paypal takes money from your bank account, or credit card etc..... some people do accept credit cards directly but i find paypal easy...... you just join up and you enter your card details from which account you want to use to pay for things

paypal is a secure way of paying, u set up an account and then link your bank card to it, it talks you through it all, just means u can pay with your card without giving anyone your details...when u pay through paypal you also get extra insurance if there is a dispute and you dont receive what u buy.

you can also pay wtih credit card via paypal... think it takes longer to set up with bank account can't remember...

You dont have to pay for something straight away ..... it's fine to leave something for a couple of days. The seller will prob send you an invoice for something straight away but you dont have to pay staright away. If your going to leave it much more than a couple of days i think it's always polite to just message the seller and let them know.

I looking at all the baby stuff, i'm getting abit obbsessed with it!!!

Paypal is defiantly best. They also cover you for losses etc; I have a paypal linked to my Scottish bank account and American bank account it gets confusing!.

I never buy something I can't pay for straight away, just the way I am. I also never window shop unless I have money on hand to bu what I see!. If Sellers don't need payment right away they will say it in the description.

Postage for moses baskets is expensive. When you get a deal on one expect to pay higher postage rates!.
