How to make Pay Pal work for you.
8 Jun 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The reason I bought this book to learn how to add PayPal to my Web-based business, but while reading this book, I discovered that this is a wonderfully comprehensive book on the capabilites of PayPal and what it has to offer.
If you want to go beyond making a payment on eBay by using PayPal, PayPal for Dummies, like most of the "for Dummies" books will get you started and answer basic questions. What I discovered was that I could install some payment buttons on my website for my Web-based business as well as add some donations buttons to any non-profit organization. PayPal For Dummies had all the information I needed and more to achieve various goals and the information was easy to find.
PayPal For Dummies explains how to establish a PayPal account, deposit or withdrawal money from your PayPal account, create multi-user access to your account, accept payments in international currencies, use PayPal to help shipping merchandise, and create a shopping cart with buttons for purchasing merchandise on your website or making charitable donations from your website.
Overall a good reference book for the person trying to know and understand PayPal.

I realise that these book reviews are supposed to serve mainly to critique the authors' abilities to impart knowledge on the given subject matter (and the case of this book that was done well) but I thought it was important to also comment on the subject matter itself.
Firstly, on the quality of the book; this book is well written, covers a lot of ground and I would recommend it to people of almost any level of technical expertise wishing to use PayPal.
However, after learning the nuances of PayPal, I have to say that I am not completely sold. The PayPal service, although offering some excellent tools for web developers and non-developers alike, has quite a concerning "Big Brother" air about it that does not instill confidence in me to trust my money with these people. Reading PayPal for Dummies prompted me to dig a little deeper into the terms and conditions of PayPal as well as seeking out other people's experiences with the service to find some disturbing feedback (try www.paypalsucks.com to start with).
Of course a company as large as PayPal is going to be the target of some flack but when we're talking about the potential loss of control over one's personal funds (large amounts in some cases), this brings a whole new level of concern.
All in all, PalPal has the potential to be a great service but, at the moment, has a way to go before it wins my trust.

More to PayPal than meets the eye
27 May 2005
Format:Paperback
PayPal is much more than a payment system for eBay. This is a wonderfully comprehensive book on the capabilites of PayPal. After reading this book I am going to use PayPal to accept credit card payments for my Web-based business.
