It is the payment method of choice for all transactions on ebay which actually owns Paypal.
As mentioned in responses above, your personal data will be encrypted and kept on paypal's server, and will not be revealed to the merchant receiving the money. Just be sure you're not talking to a fake paypal ;-)
I'm not sure, but I believe that there is an option which requires Paypal to confirm any payment by email before charging you.
Similar services are being launched by Google and Amazon. But I understand that these are redirect services that involve redirecting the user to Google / Amazon’s servers to complete the payment before returning to the original site.
By comparison, PayPal offers an integrated solution that allows users to remain on the original ecommerce site.
I've never tried this, but I understand that in addition to merchants with their own websites, you can use Paypal to pay anyone with an email address or phone number instantly.

Yes, its a very safe way to send money, as its creates a physical cut off between the two people.
Neither person can see or get access to the other persons bank details etc. You give the money to paypal effectively, and then paypal give it to the other person. This keeps the two people completely separate, and stops fraud from happening.

He won't have access to your account, just to the amount that you tell Paypal to take from your account and send to him. So it's reasonably safe as long as you trust Paypal - and they seem pretty good.

it seems pretty safe to me cos the other person doesn't get to see your account details. basically paypal is a bit like a pot - you click a button and your money goes into the pot, and then you leave it there, and the other person logs in and picks it up. that's my take on how it works anyway. never had a problem!

paypal is a safe way to transfer money with people you dont know. paypal keep your details and their details, your details dont get passed to other people.

I was as questionative as you are now when i first heard about it, but it is completly safe.
You just type in the amount your sending off and it transfers to the other persons account so theres no need to worry :)
