But my point was: how are you *risking* anything more with PayPal than
you would by sending a money order, check, or cash to an eBay seller??
I consider PayPal to be much more reliable/risk free than your average
random eBay seller.
If you open a PayPal account, they link it to your checking account. If
someone penetrates your account, they can empty out your checking
account! I know people this has happened to. It is scary.
