I haven't had issues with fraudulent charges. </p> <p> I have, however, removed my credit cards from other online shopping accounts (like the ones I use once or once a year.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1814745 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 18:26:06 +0000 namaste 1814745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and it has been for years with no problems. Paypal always has some issues with users so I wouldn't be surprised if people were being randomly charged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1814559 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 16:34:17 +0000 Kimberlybee 1814559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes it's tied to our fun money account which gets depleted super fast. We both use it and we always have to add money to it for a non regular purchase. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813850 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 11:42:10 +0000 sunny 1813850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but it is tied to an account with very little money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813521 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 09:49:09 +0000 snowjewelz 1813521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually have no clue lol. I do have a paypal and I use it once in a long while to pay for something, I think it is probably linked to something.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813396 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 09:12:24 +0000 yoursilverlining 1813396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: haha, cash is king! There is always a risk associated with doing business online or using a credit or debit card anywhere at all, or having auto debit for any bill, etc; that's the price we pay for the convenience of online shopping and not having to carry cash everywhere we go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813375 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 09:05:01 +0000 Boheme 1813375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but its a fun money account that I don't really keep money in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813364 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 09:01:05 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1813364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but you've got me thinking maybe I should delete it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813312 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:48:09 +0000 mrskc 1813312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, but it's linked to my old checking account before DH and I opened a joint one. So there's really not much money in that account and I transfer money over if I need to make a purchase. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813299 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:42:32 +0000 Alivoo01 1813299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Ditto even though it does make me cringe a lil hearing all these scams and what not. Looks like we need to revert to cave man style and live life off the webs and pay with cash that is hidden under our pillows/beds or buried in the backyard. hahaha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813296 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:42:16 +0000 cascademom 1813296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently had to verify my Paypal account to complete a sale on HB classifieds. I guess I reached my max selling/receiving money limit. I make a point of switching it to my credit card for purchases. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813287 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:39:31 +0000 mrsjyw 1813287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I've heard both on HB and also a couple of IRL friends who've had their paypal accounts hacked? or charged? and debited cash from their checking accounts with fraudulent charges! Most I think were able to get the money back but it took weeks of back office paperwork etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813282 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:38:55 +0000 bunnylovesbear 1813282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: ditto! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813270 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:36:15 +0000 Mamaof2 1813270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: what PP scams? Has something recently happened? I have had one for years and never had any issues </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813265 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:33:47 +0000 cheert16 1813265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah- but I feel like I should delete it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813223 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:17:06 +0000 littlek 1813223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do but it's a separate account that I transfer money to only when using paypal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813208 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:13:01 +0000 septca 1813208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. It is only connected to a credit card that has amazing fraud policies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813207 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:12:43 +0000 Adira 1813207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I just have my credit card attached to it. I don't like things linked to my bank account. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813200 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:10:59 +0000 pui 1813200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did have it linked forever ago, but I've switched banks since and never re-linked it. I use PayPal with my credit card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813189 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:06:16 +0000 jetsa 1813189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @yoursilverlining. I've had it for forever with no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813185 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:02:39 +0000 yoursilverlining 1813185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes; I've had a PayPal account for like 10 years and it's always been linked to a checking account and (knock on wood) I've had zero issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813181 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:01:50 +0000 Dandelion 1813181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but only recently, cause I opened a new checking account just for it. It's not linked to my savings or anything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813180 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:01:40 +0000 Smurfette 1813180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah but maybe I should delete it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-paypal-account#post-1813177 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:00:53 +0000 mrsjyw 1813177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>is it tied/verified to your bank account? </p> <p>Mine was and I recently deleted it. With all the paypal scams I don't want anything linked to a cash account. The hassle with bank retrieval etc (in case of a scam) doesn't seem worth it for how little I use paypal. I'm "unverified" now and have to pay fees to send money (which I rarely do).</p> <p>I have it tied to a CC for purchases, etc. And I just use whatever payments I receive to order things online for DS :) </p>
