Paying with PayPal
Aug 7, 2012 07:47 AM

Hi,

 

I have noticed that when I pay with PayPal after the transaction it says Thank You etc. then it takes you back to eBay. The strange thing I noticed is that if I want to make another transaction I have to log in again; however, if I go to the PayPal main page, the link at the top says "log out", which seems to mean that after a transaction you are taken back to eBay but not really logged out of PayPal. Isn't this a bit dangerous?

Naw,not unless you're using a public computer & even then its pretty silly really as seems to automatically log you out once transaction is paid for anyway.

Most sites like PayPal will log you out automatically after a period of inactivity..

 

Even after my PC has been shut down, when I come to eBay it appears that I'm still logged in, but when I go to the Discussion boards I still have to log in


You'd be non conforming too if you looked just like me
