PayPal, Amazon in CO ????????

22 Sep 2010 14:45 #1 by lydian82
I finally started my website and it was unofficially launched. Anyway, I was trying to set up an Amazon account and it said it couldn't be done in Colorado. So, my next question is: Paypal. Do any of you have experience with Paypal here in CO? Will I be able to make any money to run my site off Zazzle (or something similar) by using PayPal?

I am running out of options here. I have sent out many requests for advertising, however, with my site being new, not many takers.

I use PayPal for my business and it works easily--even world-wide. Yesterday, I received payment from 'down under' and they took a portion of the total to convert it to USD, but that's ok. It is reasonable, easy and safe. I've used it for about 4 years now. I used to have the capacity to take credit cards, but it wasn't worth the cost. I'd say go for it. Hope that helps!

I use paypal all the time - works just fine for sending and recieving money - it does take 3-4 days to get verified, and then when you transfer to your bank account, takes them several days as well.

It's how I get my paycheck from the news and social media sites I work for.

I don't use zazzle myself, but know some folks who do, and they're making money just fine. I've used paypal for etsy and ebay and never had a issue.

have you considered facebook? if you have an account there, you can advertise all you like. if you make a fan page. If not, it's worth it - it has been for me.

Yeah, CO has made Amazon report ALL sales to the state so that the state can see if we pay the sales tax on ALL purchases made for the whole year when it's income tax time.

PayPal is OK, PIA if you have a problem.

I don't see anything for sale on your site to need PayPal. Did I miss something?
