how safe is paypal?
My sister had someone charge over 400 dollars to her Paypal account. Naturally it bounced her checking account. She spent eight months trying to get her money back. They actually agreed that it was fraudulent and then claimed they sent her a check. She called them, our bank called them, and they finally admitted that our bank return the check because they sent it to her closed account. She never saw the money again, though. Added bonus: the card they stole from on Paypal was EXPIRED!A few months later, a paypal account I forgot that I even had did the same thing on my EXPIRED credit card. Luckily my credit card people took care of it so I didn't lose any money. These could be isolated experiences but I WOULD NEVER use Paypal or recommend that anyone else do.
