For all you eBay shoppers who use paypal..... Have you had security issues???

Question

Or have you heard of a recent leak? I am new to eBay and want to make sure that my info is secured with Paypal. Thanks for the input.

Answer 1

There is no such thing as "we need to update your information" email. Those are a scam NOT from ebay at all.

They will never ask you for your information for security purposes

The only time this changes is if YOU get a new credit card, like when your old one expires. Then all your credit card payments need updating

Never click on a link in their email
Always type in their name by hand

Answer 2

If there has been a recent leak, I would really like to know about it. My credit card that I use for pay-pal was recently compromised and fraudulent charges were put on it. The CC company called me and said that they were issuing new cards and numbers "for a large group of numbers that had been compromised." That's all they would say. I've only used the card three places in the last few months. Besides pay-pal, the other two were big chain stores.

Answer 3

i never had any problems. i do get phishing emails that say their form paypal & ebay i just delete them.
