I agree.  I've been using PayPal for many years and have seen many thousands
of dollars pass through their service into my account.  I have yet to have
one issue and I'm absolutely certain that I've gained a fair share of
business because I accept PayPal.

Many European vendors are catching on to the fact that PayPal opens up their
businesses to international currencies.  Eliminates the need for expensive
wire transfers and inconvenient trips to the bank.

As for phishing... anyone who clicks on a link in an email is playing an
online version of Russian Roulette.  I get dozens of phishing emails that
are supposed to be from financial institutions I've never done business
with, or ever heard of.

We need an online version of Caveat Emptor... "Let the Surfer Beware"...
"Here be monsters"

Cheers,

Jeff

PayPal works great for most people. I wish more vendors offered it for
those who care to use it.
