1 Answer

Answer :

Short version, Pay Pal is a go-between. You share confidential financial info with them (bank account number, credit card number, etc.) and use them to pay for thiings on other sites. In this way, your private info is not provided to every website from which you might wish to make a purchase. Pay Pal keeps your info secure (oh so we all hope) and you know that only one source has YOUR private financial information.
