I would trust PayPal before I trusted any others
I use it as my exclusive way to accept payments for almost ALL my services, except for two where I have no control over the billing. The ONLY way someone can automatically take money from your PayPal account is if you entered into a subscription type service where there is a recurring charge. The way PayPal is laid out, the only way a vendor can sneak in a recurring charge is if you don't read the pages while you are going through the checkout process. During checkout it will tell you if it's a 1 time payment or a subscription. If it's a subscription it will tell you for how much and how often it will be billed. Vendors/merchants cannot manually deduct funds from your account. They have to do a request payment/funds... which you can freely deny with no obligations. PayPal is safe. Just keep this in mind... PayPal claims they will NEVER ask you to log into your account from a link in an email they send you. If you get one of these emails, ALWAYS go to HTTPS://WWW.PAYPAL.COM you can type in all caps to ensure you get correct spelling...it won't matter ( note the HTTPS://) ALWAYS enter your PayPal account by going to the secure PayPal site FIRST All the best!

I agree with Gaelan,
When buying something from a website with paypal (such as a gmc subscription) - you get "redirected" to paypal's website when clicking the payment button (If you look at the address field it will say https://www.paypal.com.....). This is why it's safe - the only one who gets to know your paypal password is paypal - so there is no way the guitar site can take another £15 without your consent. (provided you didn't sign up for a subscription, in which case you need to cancel the subscription through your paypal account) Kristofer |

QUOTE (mattacuk @ Apr 25 2007, 04:46 AM)  Agreed, as an engineer i could go into great depth about the Sercure Sockets layer (SSL) that sites like pay pal use. But i wontl....all you need to know is that through the use of certificates and encryption your details are VERY safe  On the subject of subscription, how much longer do i have left of my GMC subscription before i need to renew?  Yea I could have gotten all technical too lol to check your renewal date... Go to your paypal account. do a history/activity search for your GMC subscription and click details. it will tell you when your next billing date is due. At least mine does anyway...
