That's all I did with my Paypal acct. Just enough for whatever I bought online, but they did alert me to an unauthorized attempt to withdrawl, they actually called me on the phone. But that too had only about 130 bucks in it.Someone tried to hack my account back during that period also but since I stay on top of my accounts I deleted my bank info and was able to change the password and login info before they succeeded.
I still use Pay Pal to this day.
I just got 'gun shy' Ringel05, just don't need another 'possibility' out there, got enough already.
I also have one other layer of protection. I keep a separate bank account for purchases only (online and at retail outlets) and only put enough $ in it to cover with a little extra just in case. That way if someone does hack it or steals the card number/pin then my loss is minimal. I also never use the card for debit, always for credit, that way I am only responsible for $50 if the account is accessed by a hacker/thief.
I do wish they had other means to pay, $15 is nothing to pay for joining USMB, I'd send cash if okay, that's only maybe 3 lattes at starBIGbucks.
