I just won a bid and tried to check out using paypal and discovered this seller uses Skrill.  I have not heard of or used it before.  Do you have to sign up for Skrill to complete the transaction?  Is it trustworthy?  Thank you!

Of course it's trustworthy. Fund with your credit card. I don't think you have to sign up for an account just to make a payment. 

(In the future, you'll make sure to check for payment method on a listing, right?)

It is ebay approved as trustworthy, you can use it as a guest. I don't like it much but won't let that stand in the way of getting what I want.


Wish my fingers would pay closer attention to what I spell correctly.
