how safe and relaible is paypal

**lemon_1800** · 22-04-09, 06:23

Friends, actually paypal is not really safe and your account can be hacked, because there is no login or master key and hacking just password is not much tough task for a programmer or hacker. But the only advantage is that we can use paypal chargeback policy to get back our funds even it get hacked. That's why it's necessary to check our paypal accounts every day if you have funds in it so that even it's get hacked you apply chargeback before the hacker withdraw or make use of that PP.

Till now i don't have any paypal problem about security, LR has few processors in security, but i have to changed my passwords and login twice.
so i feel paypal is safe and reliable.

As far as i know paypal is reliable and it gives money to your bank account in 8 days.

what chargeback is all about? i also have unverified paypal account but still clueless what are those security measures we need to know, all i know is that paypal is secured and reliable, and i am still confident with my password that nobody can steal that cause i believe that paypal is very safe and secure with all the hackers on the net.

**archy22** · 01-05-09, 18:41

well according to me paypal bank transfer is the most secure and reliable amongst all other payment processors you know.

**traveler** · 02-05-09, 07:47

yup i think paypal is the safest way and good way to use as a payment for online purchases...

**honey12** · 07-05-09, 17:34

For me paypal is really safe and reliable. They are really taking care of their members' accounts.

Like I said earlier a payment processor is not safe just because it uses multiple pins. It depends on the encryption methods they use. LR has many pins yet their accounts get hacked. Paypal uses the best encryption and hence paypal is secure than any other payment processors.

For security purpose paypal the best but not for refund or charge back or online supporting.I dont like their refunding system.

Well can you name any other payment processor that alows a chargeback for that case ? Paypal's chargeback poilicies are quite good I think .

**honey12** · 08-05-09, 05:29

I like their refund policy since I've benefited from it before. As a buyer it is a positive thing, I'm not sure if sellers also feels the same.

**alensot** · 08-05-09, 17:09

Till now, i haven't faced any Paypal problems in any way as i could transfer all the money earned to my bank accou nt without nay problems also and about hacking, PAYPAL is more secure but still it can be hacked and so it is better to be safe and keep strong passwords for your paypal transactions

I do agree with you that the Paypal Provide the security measure for the safe of Accounts, but still the threat of Getting Hacked is there because there are some master mind who think more then the security level, Still the Strong Password and a Little bit of more consciousness would help a lot regarding the protection of the Account...

**easy08** · 05-06-09, 03:52

yes,if we set a very strong and complex password that will help to protect our account.but such a complex password is easy to been forgotten.

**hyxfei** · 05-06-09, 05:59

so you are suggested to write it down and keep 2 paper record at least.
even if you lost /damage one finally. you still have one back up.

Well when you write down a password on a paper you have a greater risk of getting your password stolen so I would not recommend writing down passwords anywhere.

I won't suggest anyone to write down his password.Just remember that password and then use it but don't write anywhere it can be dangereous.

**hyxfei** · 07-06-09, 08:36

well. why do you think wirte down your password is dangrous ? you not mentione the password to paypal and just use one abbr pp or other. and how could you remember multiple complex password for different important accounts?

well i don't think there is any kind of problem if u write down your password where only you have access... I think it is a good way to get your password incase you forget it.

Ya but you can loose that paper somewhere and if you loose that then it will be a problem for you only and if you have that in head then no one can enter into your head so it is better to remember it and not to write it.
