When did you sign up for PayPal? - GoFuckYourself.com

Sly · 09-22-2010, 12:19 PM

I remember how skeptical I was at first, this had to be about 12 years ago maybe? They were giving away money to sign up, LOL, I think it was five dollars. I remember they had campaigns on ClickXChange or one of those PPC networks.

candyflip · 09-22-2010, 12:23 PM

When it was still X.com

When they were paying for referrals, I did quite nicely.

CDSmith · 09-22-2010, 12:27 PM

Good question. No one's asked me this before but I suppose my standard answer would have to be...

"A long time ago".

I remember the $5 referral thing.

2intense · 09-22-2010, 12:29 PM

6 years ago

Jarmusch · 09-22-2010, 12:35 PM

I signed up late 2000, around the same time I opened an eBay account.

ottopottomouse · 09-22-2010, 12:38 PM

A long time ago. Then closed that account after them pissing me off over something.

Current one is about 4 years old.

Vendzilla · 09-22-2010, 12:40 PM

2002 about I think

Account Creation Date: Jun 23, 2008

That's the current one. Old one was in 2003 I think.

famous · 09-22-2010, 12:50 PM

1999

kristin · 09-22-2010, 12:55 PM

In college, probably around the same time I registered for my eBay account ... August of 2001.

czarina · 09-22-2010, 12:55 PM

loreen · 09-22-2010, 12:55 PM

First week after it became available in my country

fris · 09-22-2010, 01:23 PM

in 1999, when it was x.com

Scott McD · 09-22-2010, 01:38 PM

When i started on Ebay. Which was a long long time ago...

Platinumpimp · 09-22-2010, 01:42 PM

2001 here

ContentPimp · 09-22-2010, 01:48 PM

1999 is when I signed up

Dailydiapers · 09-22-2010, 01:49 PM

Pre x.com - Back in the free cash to join days. Also had an x.com bank account and credit card until they folded.

alexchechs · 09-22-2010, 01:50 PM

I signed up for PayPal in 2002 when i had to get rid of some stuff on eBay

Houdini · 09-22-2010, 02:05 PM

Account Creation Date: Jan 25, 2000

I was a heavy ebay seller at the time and made some nice extra cash with their referral program.

The Duck · 09-22-2010, 02:08 PM

A loong time ago. Had one account closed on me too.

over38 · 09-22-2010, 02:23 PM

Oct 8, 2001 :D

CYF · 09-22-2010, 02:41 PM

1999 but I'm on my second account now.

wild johnny · 09-22-2010, 03:14 PM

About 6 years ago when I started buying on ebay.

Barefootsies · 09-22-2010, 04:10 PM

Yeah, it was like 1997 or 1998 for my first account.

Elli · 09-22-2010, 05:29 PM

old. I want to say 2000 or so.

bolsex · 09-22-2010, 07:01 PM

mmm in 2002 I think

woj · 09-22-2010, 07:05 PM

back when they were giving $5 for signing up + $5 for referring friends

topsiteking · 09-22-2010, 07:11 PM

Same here... dont know what year it was, but it was X.com. so freakin long ago..

spazlabz · 09-22-2010, 07:14 PM

ya know, I never did sign up for PayPal... just never really felt the need

and if you know a way for me to get my wife to stop using it I would be very appreciative!!!

ok kidding, it is in her name and we have had it since around 2000, right after it became known as paypal I think

Jarmusch · 09-22-2010, 07:15 PM

Where are some of you guys seing the exact date you signed up? I logged in and couldn't find it ..

Nicky · 09-22-2010, 07:22 PM

1999 is my oldest account

fatfoo · 09-22-2010, 08:18 PM

Many years ago.
Did you know... paypal allows you to change the email for your same account.

itx · 09-22-2010, 08:20 PM

If your account is verified, just put your email at the end and it'll tell you.

https://www.paypal.com/us/verified/[email protected]

lazycash · 09-22-2010, 08:29 PM

The very first day it launched. Had an account at x.com and so was alerted to their launch of paypal. Made some nice cash back then on their referrals.

SallyRand · 09-22-2010, 08:37 PM

Not until Paypal bought out BillPoint and forced us all to switch.

Paypal sucks.

Just sayin'.

Sally.

Thanks.

I didn't sign up late 2000 after all, but on Feb 17, 2001. Dec 2000 was when I signed up for eBay, and up until Feb 2001 I was buying stuff on eBay using a payment system that would charge $5 for every payment I made, I think it was called BidPay. Aparently, it was on Feb 17, 2001 that I got tired of their fee and signed up for PayPal.
