do I NEED TO BUILD UP COOCKIES FOR PAYAPAL OR IS THAT ONLY EBAY?

[bonedaddy101]

Hey, can I simply create a new user and sign up to PayPal write away? or am I suppose to build up cookies first and from what I can see seems that's only for eBay?

also does it matter if I visit this site it won't show up in the cookies as such will it

Help Much Appreciated

Cookies building is mainly done for eb (my opinion). It worked way back when paypal and eb were coupled but now that ebay uses Managed Payments vs paypal for seller payment, it's not as important for pp.

Will you use PP for anything else than eb?

Am not even using PayPal for eBay.

Just want to use to accept payments on a few of my websites?

So when Im on PayPal and they ask if I would like to accept cookies I take it I press accept and not decline? just double checking

what does it buy you for accepting cookies?
What happens if I remove these cookies?

If you remove the cookies, pp could try to reverify you with call/msg to your number for example

on paypal you need to build up history , it works similar to ebay , you can only start low and increase turnover slowly by about 5%-15% per month

and don't drain pp completely right away - can be considered a security flag
