I remember a few years ago Moebius/Apex Carver implied to me that Pay Pal is not safe... has this changed or is it a risky service to use when linked with a Visa card? |

That was more in regards to use as a way to accept funds. https://www.paypalsucks.com/ Don't link a bank account to your paypal account, always use a credit card to fund your transactions, and you should be fine. | ||

Oh, so with a credit card, it's a lot safer, okay, that is a lot more reassuring now... thanks! | ||

Never had a problem, though, bar one time when I accidentally forgot to switch currency to JPY. Let's just say my bank WTF'd when they got a request for that much. |

Linking a bank account is only bad if you use it to receive funds, otherwise you are clear too ( and by receiving funds I mean running an online store or something along the same number of transactions ). | ||

Remove the s in http. Solves it. It should not be a secured connection... that's why. Me too, I've been using my credit card to pay using PayPal. No problems. | ||
