I just recently started using my paypal account and am very nervous about this whole deal and am worried I may get myself into trouble with it. Any warnings from people out there on what NOT to do with paypal as their actual site doesn't seem have great advice on it.
Secondly, how does this paypal button on ebay auctions work? It says you sign up for this account and you automatically get $5.00 or something and $5.00 for every person you refer? Does that apply to international users as well (I'm from Canada). Any help on that would be great!
Lastly, have any other Canadian users had problems with currency exchanges or the like?

Hi einhorn42,
Please feel free to ask me the questions in the Partner Services forum. I will be more than willing to answer any questions you may have and get answers for the ones I don't have.
As an FYI, the currency exchange rates we have to process at are retail rates, not the wholesale rates you see for banks. All transactions are sent in US dollars and then converted. I believe the fee for a bank withdrawal is .55.
