I dont trust it, or ebay that it is most associated with.
I don't give my card details to any websites. I have never been frauded.
Millions do trust it though. But I don't.0 -

I have used a Paypal account for several years to buy and sell things on ebay and to receive payments from survey companies. I've never had any security concerns.0 -
I have never had any problems with Paypal ... apart from their fees that can be pretty steep for a seller of low-value goods. But they are up-front about these.

I have used PayPal every week for the past 3 years ... never had any concerns :rotfl:
I think you take a risk with any account you have that keeps your personal information, nothing is 100%. But, as with most accounts, change your password (use capitals and numbers to make it even more secure) say, every 2 months and this should keep your mind at ease :beer:... Think everyone should get a lottery win for £100,00 and we'd all be sorted! ...:A0 -
Paypal is safe as long you take measures to keep it safe as many scams using it0

Sorry to hijack! How do you guys keep your paypal account safe? Do you just change your passwords every so often? I know its not 100% reliable but it must help? I am always worried about my paypal/itunes accounts!!
