    If someone has our paypal email, is it safe? Can anyone steal money from it? I am only talking about email address. Sorry for this question, only for security purpose.

    Its safe. Your PayPal email address is only to identify how you get paid and where the money is supposed to go to. So for example if I asked my friend to send me some money via PayPal, I would tell him to send it to my PayPal email address.

    There is no need to worry as you need to give everyone your paypal account email id with whom you are dealing.

    DON.

    At first, make sure all your sensitive passwords like paypal, clickbank, any other payment processor and your personal email, doesnot have the same password :)
    Yes you can give your paypal email, which is most likely the same as your personal email address to anyone over the net. Infact, you also have to submit your paypal email address in some sites while dealing with them. For example if you are selling any stuff here on DP, you can make the paypal option open by submitting your paypal email. So dont worry, just make sure whenever you sign in to your paypal account, the URL in the address bar says paypal.com ;)

    That's safe, just like other having your email address. Just don't tell the password :)

    They might log on to your e-mail but they cant access your paypal account unless they have the same password as your paypal and e-mail account. If you worry too much then you can change your e-mail in your paypal account
