Ordering via paypal:
Is paypal still a secure method of purchasing?

I seem to recall in the past a wave of paypal security problems.
Should I seek another method?

Thanks in advance!

1. i'd be more concerned with the seller than paypal
unless this is a simple ebay transaction, beware of online shops that only accept paypal

4. Well...
this is for one of the I DID NOT VOTE 4 BUSH wristbands directly from their site.

I would asume that all is well in this situation, I was just more concerned with the overall security of the paypal system itself.

2. I believe it's secure ...
Just be aware of the false paypal e-mails going around. If you get one that says it's from paypal, but it doesn't address you by your first & last names, then it's a fraud. Same goes for Ebay.

7. I've used PayPal since it came into being, for all types of things
and have never had any probelm. Even had some returns properly handled.
