Just checked mine. It's okay. However, ***remember*** to actually log out of your PayPal account before closing the window. Just closing the window does not log you out. I know because I tested this after finding out that eBay does not log you out of PayPal after you finish paying for a purchase that way.

I removed my card from my PayPal account. The account is still open and I can manually add the card any time I want to use the account. It's an extra step and a bit of a pain, but PayPal seems to be having lots of trouble recently so I think it's worth it.

Thanks for that info, will do that immediately!

Thanks for the heads up!

Logging our of Paypal or wherever is not going to do much good if you have a trojan
on your computer. You might want to have your computer checked and protected.

I've been thinking about setting up a PayPal account, but I think I'll pass! Thanks for the heads up.

I have had a paypal account for around 12 years now. I never have had an issue.
Just as Prism says.......you have to log out everytime, just as one does with online banking.

I have a seperate account that I use only for online purchases. I don't keep much in there, just 20.00 or so. When I want to buy something I transfer the amount to that account. If they get my card #, they won't get much :)

I'm with "ChasingHawk"--we're both outta the loop. Recently I rec'd an email from a school classmate--she wanted to know if I was on Facebook. "If you'll 'friend me, I'll friend you". I told her I do not, will not ever "do" Facebook. If anyone wants to 'friend' me, they can call, write, or email. I am so fed up with "LIKE US ON FACEBOOK" that is everywhere! My grocery store even has it in their ads. Oh, and so does the local tv station.

people must stay up all night figuring out they can make the rest of us very unhappy. Why don't they just get a real job! Thanks for the heads up. I always pass on to adult children who may not be watching closely.
