Do you believe that paypal is a safe service?

I am looking to buy a a new indie game called Minecraft, you may have heard of it. I usually buy my games off of steam because I know they are an extremely safe service and if any mistakes happen they make sure you get your money back.

I really would like to purchase this game but I am worried because I heard of people loosing hundreds of dollars from their paypal accounts getting hacked

    Hallo !

    I think paypal is safe as any other bank.

    If someone steal your credit card, you also loose your money.

    Hope that will help you !

    Pay Pal accounts get hacked because the user does not create a STRONG password when setting up the account.

    You need to use a very strong password. something like this:

    T677*yh39&2Muy8 a mis of uppper lower case, numbers and characters like * # !

    Never use a word found in any dictionary or dates.

    Paypal is the safest way to shop online. Now the thing is that users create weak passwords and that makes it very possible for someone to gain unathorized access to your online accounts.
