Same thing over here.. I have never shopped online neither. So I have no experience.. I have never do it because I don't think its very safe. But if you have some friends or family that shops online you may need to ask them for help.

I checked the link of the online store you posted and I really like the items they sale. It's so cute!!! I'll maybe buy something from there.

But if there a problem, like if you don't receive the item what can we do?

@Saffirelle - Paypal has Purchase and Seller Protection programs, so if anything goes wrong they can help you to deal with it. You can read on their website that "If an eligible item doesn’t arrive, or doesn’t match the seller’s description, our Purchase Protection will reimburse you for the full purchase price of the item plus shipping costs. Your purchases are also monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week to help keep you protected." But obviousely it's always good to contact the seller first as there might have been just a little mistake and everything might be fixed without much drama.

I had a problem with not getting my delivery only once so far and I actually wasn't paying with Paypal back then. I wasn't getting my package and so I contacted the seller. They were sending the package with a courier company and not a post and so we quickly found out the delay of my item was because of the courier that was a <put a nasty word here> and probably lost my package. I lodged a complaint to the courier company as well as phoned them to give them a piece of my mind verbally. I guess I was pretty scarry because the package was found immediately and I got it another day :)

@Jang - Yes, you have to send the money from the bank to the paypal account. On your account's page you have the "Add Funds" bookmark and then there are two options: add funds (in a few days) or top up account (instantly).
When you click the first one you will get redirected to a page where you will get all the informations on how to do that. There will be an account number and other datas and you will have to make a money transfer from your regular bank account. This usually takes about 1-2 days.
The other option adds the money immediately but I think (I can't actually remember if it's true. Can somebody confirm it?) you have to add a bank account to your Paypal account (you do that in the "Profile" bookmark). It's best when you have an online bank account. It may seem scary but it's really safe. I use that method as it's the fastest way.
The most important thing is that in both ways you have to use a bank account with THE EXACT SAME NAME as your Paypal account. So if the name registered on your Paypal account is John Smith you have to have a bank account with the same name on it.

There are no maintenance fees and you don't have to have money there all the time. I didn't use my account for almost 6 months once and nothing happened. Buying with Paypal from online stores is always free, there are only fees when you sell things and when you make an international transfer, but the fees aren't really that big.

I can't remember if it automatically chooses your currency at the beginning or if you have to do it yourself, but you can set as many currencies as you want. I get payments for my work in many different currencies and then I change them later to my national currency when I want to transfer them to my bank account. Usually when you pay for an item bought in an online store you don't have to change the currency, it is done automatically by Paypal.

You're very welcome! I hope your purchase will go smoothly :)
The items from the shop are really cute, btw. I simply love the bear tights and the owl and sleepy cat bags. Super cute!

@Rhea: Yes, they are very cute~!

@Saffirelle: Do you mean taxes on having a Paypal account or buying things from stores? If it's the Paypal, Rhea answered that no. If it's buying something, you have the shipping fees.

I was talking to the lady from the store and she said you can add whatever you want to your cart and, when you go there to view your items, it will automatically tell you the price and shipping fees according to your country. However I am still to know if it's those shipping fees alone of if it's those shipping fees + my country's fees.


EDIT:
I was now talking to Jane, the lady responsible for the shop, and the shorts are really small. According to her, when it stretches it reaches XS or S, just so you see how small it is. I guess I wont be able to buy this >-<

She told me it would go from XS to S when stretched so if you think it will fit you, go ahead. She said it was 32cm all around so basically 12cm of waist...
