I would like to warn anyone who has used E-bay/PayPal recently that the PayPal files may have been hacked.
I have been buying a few darkroom items off of E-Bay and paying for them using PayPal.
Someone tried to use my credit card information stored there to send a $1,000 Western Union telegram, which my credit card company blocked immediately, and then placed a hold on my card. (Now, that's what I call service.) Subsequently, I canceled my credit card, and ordered a new one.
So, it might be a good idea if you have a PayPal account to remove your credit card/bank account information until this issue has been resolved.
From now on, if I use PayPal, I will enter my credit card information for the transaction only, and then remove it promptly after the transaction has been completed.
Good Luck!
