Hello.

I am looking into buying a few things off Ebay. It seems like the most common payment method that sellers accept is Paypal. So how exactly does it work? Do I input my bank account details into Paypal and then when I want to pay for something I just transfer it like that?

I guess the main thing I am worried about something going wrong and losing everything that is in my account, that's not really possible is it unless Ebay/Paypal gets hacked?

Is it better just to go to my bank, open a new account and deposit money into that account and just use that for Ebay/Online purchases?

So yeah, Do you have any positive/negatives experiences?

Thanks for all the help.
