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

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.
