Paypal

How secure is this site - my last legitimate paypal transaction was renewal of subscription to hires - my next two paypal transactions were fraudulant?

100% secure. What do you mean your next two transactions were fraudulent? Do you mean after your auto renewal to hirescovers, somebody illegally accessed your account?

My paypal account was hijacked to purchase a ps3 and a hard drive - postal address was indonesia. It wasnt an accusation just a question around the security of the site.

[bazzah]

I realise it wasn't an accusation I just wanted to know what the problem was. Are PayPal going to reimburse you??

[jameswmcl]

Sorry m8

a bit touchy just now as I have no idea how they got my details and yes they are reviewing the transactions

I got an auto-email from paypal saying that my account had been suspended due to massive attempts to hack my password.
I had to call them up, get a new password, and then finally removing my account.
However, that has absolutely nothing to do with this site.. just that paypal is a very popular place to try and hack.
And, when it comes to security.. this site cannot provide anyone with your account details other than your email, which they could find pretty much anywhere else too. Maybe you used a weak password?
And sorry to hear, people makes too much of an effort trying to scamming out mony from the internet.. why not try and make an honest living using your "skills" to something other than hacking? I don't really get it.

It is a real pain in the erse as I am probably gonna get negative feedback from genuine auction wins

my e-bay got hijacked to sell dodgy goods. e-bay suspended my account ..they spotted it first and were pretty good .. no negative comments were put against my account.

the thing that concerened me was that i only ever log in through my bookmark, and make sure its secure (htps) so i know i wasnt phished. My password iss complex.....but e-bay wont admit they were hacked.


and another footnote on paypal:
if you buy anything using paypal and then make a claim against the person you bought from, paypal will only reimburse monies held in the sellers account. so if its empty tough luck!
