Paypal

Why do we have to pay with Paypal? I've read stories in magazines about people's accounts being hacked into and money stolen all the time. Is their any other form of payment I could use?:(

PayPal is safe and secure, and sides...

I am sure a hacker would only target someone verified, and that has a good bits in their account. If you have around $500 + then worry.

Lets put in another way :) Paypal is so much more safer than you being on this forum :) or any forum.
The only way ppl can get into a account is if you use a password that is easy to think off. Paypal log each attempt to a users account, if to many they block the user trying until they re validate. Its one of the better online payment methods around.

I guess your right...:neutral:

A high percentage of people that get their paypal accounts hacked have it happen because they fall prey to a "spoof" or "phishing" email asking them to "click a link and verify their information"... it looks like the link goes to paypal, but it really goes to a mirror site that just collects any information you try to put in.

Paypal is as safe as you make it. Use a password that is hard to guess, that contains numbers, letters (both upper and lower case) and a special character. :)
