I have also been following the postings on Paypal with interest, and I wonder if all the problems happened before or after eBay bought Paypal--anyone know?

I have been planning to use the LEM Swap List to dispose of my trusty old B&W 350 and my Quadra 800, (anyone interested?) and since most folks there require Paypal, I signed up for an account--listing only a credit card, NOT a checking account, mostly because of the credit card fraud protection. The shocker was when I got a fairly well done phishing message just hours later, and two more over the next day. I immediately contacted Paypay Security each time, and was assured it was coincidental and that they have never been compromised. Odd as it seemed, I have gotten no more phishes in the weeks since, but I had never gotten one before, so I was very suspicious.

After the quiet period, I guess I am ready to go ahead and use Paypal to sell my stuff--but this is a good forum to learn about problems. Thanks to all who contributed.
