    I used Paypal for the first time last week whilst placing an order with ELF cosmetics. I wanted to take advantage of the $6.95 shipping. From what I noticed, Paypal is able to do this because it charges us in the US $ value and the converts it to the CAD $ value. So is this something we can do for other online stores or is this trick exclusive to ELF? I've paid ridiculous amounts for shipping in the past and I wouldn't mind saving a few bucks if I could Thank you very much

    I believe it was just a deal with ELF. I have used Paypal several times in the past and the shipping charges are usually whatever is on that particular website that your purchasing from.

    i dont like paypal, i just buy a high value visa or mastercard gift card, even with the $5 activation fee, stuff online is so much cheaper it is easily worth it.

    Curious as to why you don't like PayPal mcon. I thought it made my online transactions a lot faster!

    I like buying from paypal and bestbuy just started taking it, and even offering some incentives right now. I only wished I kept mine a US account so I could buy airline tickets with it.

    Hey Vesper What do you mean by US account? I didn't even know there was an option.

    I don't think its an option. It's based on where you live. I created my first account in 1999 I think, when I was living south. Now I can't buy airline tickets
