How secure is Paypal and what are the mishaps with them?

Question

My parents are extrmly paranoid with using credits cards over the internet. I have my own debit card and they wont let me use it. I was wondering what the odds are of a hacker getting my identification. and was also wondering if it is possible and if so how many times has it happened?

Thanks for ur time

It is secure, just keep a long password, and if any does not pay you like on e-bay fight it!! They will and should go with you and give you your money back! Plus never keep your password saved on your computer!

Answer 3

Well, always try to use popular websites using PayPal. You can get key logged, if you are not safe online. You should get anti-virus and a firewall just in case and you will be all good.
