I hate giving out my SSN. Probably the reason I have never done a free credit check online yet.
Vash, it's a good thing to get nervous over that kind of stuff. Do you have your paypal account tied into an account at your bank just for paypal? I find that it's easiest that if I buy something I put money into that acct. and no matter if it is hacked they can't touch my saving. Helps the cold sweats.

And make sure you sweep out your paypal bank account as soon as you get the money!

Internet buying can be risky, but with all things you can minimize those risks. Vash, glad I could help. I can't take credit for the idea though. My dad came up with it first.

I will not link paypal to a bank account. I use a credit card, so I can dispute the charge if necessary.
