$2,000 new user limit:
For your protection, first time customers new to PayPal's
service will only be allowed to spend $2,000 through
PayPal in their first transaction, because they have
not yet verified their account. To verify an account,
a new user must confirm their email address and confirm
a bank account. Essentially, new users need to setup
a PayPal account initially. Once a user has completed
this process, shopping is a breeze thereafter.
PayPal was recently acquired by eBay, and is
located in Mountain View, California. PayPal is the
2002 SIIA Codie Awards winner for "Best eCommerce
Solution" and is recognized by PC Magazine as one
of "The Top 100 Web Sites."

How Secure
is PayPal Transactions
PayPal is committed to utilizing the
best commercially available technology and procedures
to protect the security of your online transactions.
Data Security and Encrytion
The security of your information, transactions, and
money is the core of our business and our top priority
at PayPal. PayPal automatically encrypts your confidential
information in transit from your computer to ours using
the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption
key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially
available). Before you even register or log in to our
site, our server checks that you're using an approved
browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher. Once your
information reaches us, it resides on a server that
is heavily guarded both physically and electronically.
Our servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are
not directly connected to the Internet, so your private
information is available only to authorized computers.
