Or your CC info. When I was buying on ebay, someone tried to get a CC, using my name. Had to pay for credit monitoring. I don't trust them and would NEVER again use paypal.
I am confused. How would buying something on e-bay cause someone to try to get a CC in your name?
When you purchase something from someone and pay through PayPal, PayPal transfers the money from your account to the sellers account.
The seller never sees your account or CC information. They just have your name and address to send you your goods. That information is supplied by e-bay. All they see is a payment in their account and the buyers name.
What am I missing here? I have been a buyer and a seller on e-bay and have never had a problem. They even handled a dispute I had with a seller who sent me counterfeit goods. E-bay contacted the seller for me after she ignored me, and got PayPal to refund my money.
@Carmie Sorry, Carmie, but you’ll have to ask @sol_luna for that answer as it was her post.

Whether you believe it or not, it happened to me. Enough said.

@sol_luna I didn’t say I didn’t believe you. I just am confused to how that happened and how you know it was PayPal who breached your account.
I use PayPal often and don’t want that to happen to me. ( or anyone else for that matter) I am just trying to figure how how that happened and asked you to clarify for me.

I've never once had an issue with paypal having my bank account number and yes I've had cash transferred from it multiple times.
04-09-2018 11:14 PM
Yes, I've had no issues for over a decade.
04-09-2018 11:18 PM
Yes, I do. Have never had a problem.

You aren't missing anything here.
Given the facts, I don't see how Paypal could have caused the breach.
@Just because @sol_luna was "buying on Ebay" doesn't really mean anything. Someone could have gotten her personal information from probably a dozen other sources.
It would be nice if she explained WHY she thought it was Paypal that caused her problem.

NO!!!! I've given bank account information for withdrawals/deposits to only the federal and state taxing authorities and Anthem.
