Paypal

[blk-n-blu]

A year ago while away on business My cc company informed me by e-mail that my card was used to buy $1000.00 of electronics by someone in "Belarus" I had not used that card in over 6 months but it was the card I had used for my PP and E-bay accounts which I also had not used. I believe PP was hacked for personal info. My cc company refunded the expenses and provided a new card. I will not register another card with PP.

See here is the situation. I do not us my CC with Paypal. I established a checking account for Paypal only. The checking account is FREE.
I transfer funds for FREE to the paypal account in about 30 seconds. For the record I maintain only about $500.00 for small purchases. If I need more or larger amounts I then transfer more and make the purchase which then lowers the balance on the Paypal account. This way here if something goes wrong....at worst I am out $500.00.
On a bad monday I can spend that on donuts???
It's fast, cheap and instant.
I only want to share a little extra with our leader Les.
I guess its not for everyone....but the way things are going... U.S. cash wont be any good anyway.

Had fraud on Paypal twice. They made good but it was like pulling teeth.
They admitted my account had been hacked but told me there was a waiting period to get my money back.
After finally getting ahold of someone in charge they made me whole in a few days.
