Paypal ?

Hello everyone to the best of my knowledge I know that a lot of masters like to use such things as skype to do live chat when going over a game and paypal to recieve money over the internet when coaching online. And now I must confess I don't really know much about either one see I for long time now I though skype costed money but someone has told me it's free if so does anyone know where to get it ? For paypal I've never actually done a payment (sent or recieve) online and I don't want to mess up my first time sending $60 to some random person lol. Any help on getting this information ???

You can get skype at www.skype.com, and it's free to use.  It does cost, however, to use it to call landline phones.  Sorry, I don't know anything about people receiving payment for chess coaching via paypal.

ok but what is landline phone by the way ?

well chessmaster, back in the day, you had to plug your old phone into a wall. It was really inconvenient, as you had to stay in the room, and you could not take it with you. Because it was attached to the house, and thusly to the land, it is commonly referred to as a landline.

Man, you youngsters.
