When did you sign up for PayPal?
 
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.

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.

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

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

Jarmusch 09-22-2010 07:15 PM

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

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. :1orglaugh
