If you "DOUBLE CLICK" the submit button you WILL be charged twice!!!!

If you are ignorant of the proper way to use PayPal, please read ALL
instructions before (saying PayPal sucks) submitting your request to them.

I have a credit card that I use only on the internet and it has a max of
$200.00, (for those who won't use paypal). You could open another checking
account only for PayPal, placing only the amount of money in, as it should
be spent.

I do keep some funds in my PayPal account because of the amount of E-Bay
business I do and I get 1.03% which is better than the banks and credit
unions I deal with. I have used PayPal for 4 years and never had any
problems.

Also my checking account will not allow any kind of charges, of the same
amount, to the same person, in the same month. At no cost to me. (Automatic
payments from my insurance, and electric companys have twice double billed
me but the bank would not pay. And my service was never interupted.)
