Also keep in mind, in belgium (and maybe other countries too) paypal accounts are technically “bank accounts abroad” wich need to be filled in in your taxes etc even if there’s no money on the actual acount. Since they are USA based after all.

You do? I never filled in PayPal with my taxes (mainly because there is never anything on it, and here in The Netherlands I only have to fill in the total amount of money of all my bank accounts, instead of per).

But it’s indeed true that a lot of people here don’t even know what PayPal is. My mom and dad recently discovered aliexpress.com (Chinese webshop with all kind of stuff), but are only using their credit card for their purchases. And my little brother comes to me if he wants to buy something abroad that only accepts PayPal, because he doesn’t have one himself…

I personally use iDeal or bank transfer within The Netherlands (and sometimes for Belgium / French / German sellers as well), PayPal for everything else (and in very rare occasions my parent’s credit card when a webshop doesn’t have a PayPal option - since I don’t have a credit card myself; my PayPal is linked to my bank account).

Haha my Sis kept bugging me for Paypal like that, i strapped her to a chair and made her get her own after a while
