I quit posting these, 'cause I thought you already had one. i'm a bit concerned about using paypal though after what happened to my friends.... mc Don't know what happened to your friends, but Paypal *is* your safest bet. And about the only payment method where you can do "something" if anything goes wrong. bob

Why would anyone have their entire life savings sitting in their PayPal account? I am sure the person who told you that was *seriously* prevaricating. (Unless they are like most of my friends who have a life savings of $40)

This is true. When you set up a PayPal account, you have to provide bank
account and credit card number information as backup so you can pay something that is automatically deducted like PayPal's own fees, eBay seller fees, etc. ....

However, if some hacker cracked one or more PayPal accounts without help from
the PayPal account holder, PayPal would be on the hook, just like TJ Maxx, Hanneford Bros, and all the brick and mortar banks who let personal data get stolen. Methinks that the person who lost his life savings probably "helped" the thieves by allowing some software to sneak in a grab his personal data from his own computer. I sure would like to hear more, but from the person who lost his "life savings". It does no good to repeat unsubstantiated urban myths without laying out the facts...

Ben The story sounds pretty add to me. I usually keep nomore than $50 in my PayPal account... and the back watches all my credit card transactions quite carefully. The only other on-line transactions I make are with my credit card... and my liability is minimal an unauthorized purchase would ever be made...
