I have had a PayPal business account since 1999 and never had an incident. Unless you give out your password or acquire a backdoor trojan virus on your computer that will log your keystrokes when you put in passwords or will find your stored passwords, more than likely, you will be secure. The Paypal site itself is secure. NEVER follow a link to PayPal thru an email, it may be a phishing site. Always log on from the Paypal site.

If it's done on the internet, it's not secure. Pay in cash or use a check.

I have the same experience as Greybeard, have used it for years and never a problem. They require high quality passwords so hacking is not likely.

Well, they say pay pal is secure, but, last year, someone got my credit card number off of paypal and began charging things immediately.Good thing my credit card company caught it and called me.
