How to secure your paypal wisely?

Here is a tip for keep your paypal safe.

1) Create a new email id
2) Add this email to your paypal as secondary email
3) Make this new email as your primary email on paypal
4) Use this new email only to check paypal transactions and use this only on your private pc
5) Never use this new email with 'save password' option on your browsers.
6) Never give this new email id to anybody
6) And finally use your new secondary email (ie: your old primary email) as your paypal transaction id.

Yes, Paypal secondary email can be used for receiving funds. Cheers

 

plus,... don;t just click every incoming email on your inbox,...

 

If you are not using this email id except for paypal purposes then you won't get any email spams

 

why have to created new email id?

 

All this advice is worthless without THE MOST IMPORTANT thing that you failed misserably to mention.

USE A SECURE PASSWORD!
DO NOT use the password for ANYTHING else.
The password MUST be a mixture of A - Z, a - z, 0 - 9 and characters and in my opinion at least 15 long

 

You are supposed to make this fresh email id as your primary email and your transactions should go with secondary email id (your old email)

 

Using a secure password is always a nice practice not only for paypal but also for your emails.

 

Well, Once your payments are on Hold From Paypal, Secondary emails also wont do any good.

It Would Protect Our acc from Hackers..

But Nowadays paypal screw people more than Hackers Does. All these Limitations and Holds. Mine is on hold with $500+ and will be released on 29th.. Well, No tips can protect us from that

 

Holds are not anything related to security. That's all are about personal deals.

 

Never access Paypal from a shared / Public PC if possible. If you do, make sure that you erase all browsing history and cookies before you log off.

 

You are absolutely correct. One should always have a unique PW for his paypal account and never look to use the same anywhere else. This password has to be absolutely exclusive and should be entered only after double checking the paypal address in the browser!

do have a check for running keyloggers and spywares if you run on a SHARED PC.

and i you are on a personal PC, Make sure you dont have those kinda stuffs running and do check them using some Awsome antiviruses and Antispywares

 

Never type in your paypal or email id on any toolbar installed on your browser.

 

I just Joined Paypal so I will try to be "very careful"

 

Just joined paypal and digitalpoint haha. Well do you own any .COM domains?
Be sure to protect your paypal primary email id oKay

 

This post is useless!

Ultimately what's the point of being careful? To avoid losing money I suppose.

Read my post "Paypal Abuse" and find out why it's useless to be careful with your Paypal account.

 

Paypal is the most trusted way to make a deal online. So we are thinking of keeping it secure

 

I just bought a domain name to sell Time cards for like cellphones and such most of it is affilate things a couple are sold directly by me. I LOVE Digitalpoint forums so far!
