Hi All,

I have a PayPal (PP) acct, connected to my credit card.  I only use PP to pay for items -- I never sell anything so I never have monies coming into PP.  However, Mr. Rebates owed me $ and I opted for the money to go directly to PP rather than to receive a check (weird mail happenings lately in my neighborhood). PP did receive the money and I have these options: (1) keep the money in the PP acct. for future use: (2) apply the money to my credit card; or (3) have the money transferred into my bank acct.  I would prefer to have the last option #3 but I am wary of giving out my bank acct. info.  YOUR thoughts & replies are appreciated...did you or would give your bank acct. info to PP?   TIA

All paypal has of mine is one CC # and it has a $500 limit because would not be buying anything that large with this card.Thus - the most I could ever lose is $500.I never buy online except with paypal.

Visualize a large digital ‘moat’ around your bank account.

Let no one enter!

“You Shall Not Pass!” (a little Gandalf advice)

Never, ever let a retailer enter your bank account.

Out of the choices, I would apply the money to your credit card.

Create that paper trail in case something goes sideways.

Paypal is a part of Bancorp Bank.  I think their website is as safe and encrypted as any other banking institution.  I've had an account for several years and never had an issue.

Yes, had it for over 13 years, no issues so far.

        I cancelled my PP account years ago  I kept receiving "emails" saying that there was an issue with my PP account.  Never answered the "email" of course, but when I would call PP, there was no issue.  Did not use it much, but felt safer without the monthly -bimonthly scam emails!!!

Wasn’t PayPal in the news several months ago...regarding privacy issues?
