A caution here, there are scams that are targetting paypal, mostly because it's so easy to do. If you get an email request supposedly from paypal, check the header, the full header. If the "From" addy has what looks like paypal, but then has another string of symbols and numbers behind it, paypal had nothing to do with it, it came from a scam. The legitimate paypal addy is there, but code inserted to block it, and redirect to the second half of the addy which is only someone wanting your card and/or bank account numbers. ONe other way to tell if it's legit, put your cursor over the logo. Legitimate will be generated in html, the scams use a graphic file. If the balloon says it's a graphic, it's a scam.
