as the above member said , using Paypal is safe if your password is powerful . use a alpha-numeric long password and keep it secured place . and see the response by member ssh123 here : http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/440124.aspx

^ although we donot know your e-mail ID used for paypal account , pls change the password as soon as possible and never post the passwords on any open forums ... instead just provide a good example for password ...

^ if you have a credit card in your name then it is better to enter its details in paypal account so that your details get verified . it will be useful in withdrawing your money from Paypal in future . credit card details can be entered at a later date .

I have used paypal for a long time. I have given them all my info, and never had a problem. I feel that it is a secure site.

PayPal have had my credit card details for years now, and so far I haven't had any problems. You will of course get emails from fraudsters asking you to update your credit card details, but you should never give your details to any of these. PayPal never asks for personal information in an email so if you are careful, then I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Paypal isn't one of those scam things where they take your money. It's a professional company! The only way someone could take money from your account is if they had your password.
