PayPal
Pay online without sharing your card.
1. Sign up
Free at paypal.com. Link a bank account or credit card.
2. Pay with PayPal button
Many websites have one. Click it instead of typing card number. Safer.
3. Buyer protection
If item never arrives or is fake, file a dispute. PayPal often refunds you.
4. Send to family
Pick Friends and Family option to skip fees when sending to relatives.
5. Two-step login
Settings, Security. Add 2-step verification. Stops most break-ins.
6. Watch for fakes
If an email asks you to log in to confirm payment, ignore. PayPal email always says your full name.
Use PayPal for online buys. Use Zelle or Venmo for friends and family.
