Is Paypal safe?

I had my CC # hacked thru PayPal.

There were about six subscriptions to porn sites put on my card by someone in, I believe, NY.

I dodn't think PayPal is safe.

I've has no problems. But it is getting more expensive. eBay has the Billpoint system, which is the same. eBay is big enough now to stand behind stuff like this.

As far as not being ripped off, it is the same as sending a certified check by Fedex. Once the funds are sent, there is no guarantee that you will receive merchandise. Also, I am fairly certain, that there is no credit card protection, as many mistakingly believe. So, is it safer? No. Probably, riskier, as your credit card and bank account numbers are out there, although the sight is secure. That said, I have used it, without any problems.
