Of course, someone being able to steal your PayPal account details nullifies this as being a more secure form of online payments, as credit card details are stored with PayPal too. Needless to say, outside major regions, PayPal is pretty useless for many purchases out of North America (I do acknowledge, though, that FNB South Africa have brought them to South Africa). Google Checkout is another option, perhaps not any more secure than PayPal, but maybe simpler (still suffers from "reach" issues, though, for the international types). Cheers, Mark.
