Paypal is fast, secure and easy way of doing online transaction. Paypal is used by many businesses, so obviously it's secure and safe.

Paypal is really cool because i did not find any problems with paypal it is secured. But we have to see that we shall not be the victim of our own acts, we should be carefull while logging in to the public computers and we should delete the cookies after we have logged out and we should be careful with the fake e-mails we get it is better to forward the fake e-mails to the administrator of paypal so that they will say it is safe or not.

I have used Paypal for many years and never had a problem with them at all. They offer a fast, easy, competent method to do business on the 'net without exposing a credit card number or a bank account. I'd say they were more secure than paying or receiving money by any other method.

There is alot of people who say its not and other who say it is but what i know is they have a bad customer service. The problem is many sites use Paypal so you cant do without it. My advise to you is dont invest too much money an amount that would affect you significantly.

Paypal is very secure and reliable payment service used by thousands of people as well as businesses. Since The PayPal is also used by businesses, that makes it obvious that it is a reliable service. I have never heard from anyone having trouble with Paypal nor have i had any problems from them

I've used paypal for a long time, and I haven't had a single problem with it. To me it's the safest way for online transactions.

Paypal is cool because if anything does happen they will reimburse you. I have never heard of anyone getting hacked but I have heard of fake sites that look like paypal sending you email asking for you to change you log in information - and when you go to the page and do it the get your password. Just never respond to anything on email. always type the address in at the top and do not hit the links in the email.
