How safe is Paypal?

Simon · 14th February 2007, 21:12

In so far that the payer and buyer never actually see each others bank details then it's safe.

In so far as how many scams are running on there or how easy it is for someone to keylog your login details... that I don't know, but so far I've been happy with using PayPal.

Just wondering what people opinions are of the service.

To date I have done over 14,000 transaction with them and never had a single problem - I'd say they were safe enough

Integration is very good. Helps smooth out transactions and makes for effortless buying/selling.

I always insist on using PayPal when I buy things and strongly urge any buyers of my for-sale items to use PayPal too.

Fine if you are a buyer but you need to be careful if selling. ALWAYS post recorded delivery, otherwise there is the risk of a chargeback whereby the buyer claims item has not arrived.
