May not at all be for you. I'm thinking about the (fairly small handful of) reoccurring payments (subscriptions, cable, mobile phone, gym membership, et.al.) that are currently linked to either my credit or debit card? And, a lot of people have far more of this going on in their lives than I do! But - even for 'single use' payments (like you) - I've been fairly trusting, so far, of PayPal (and their access to credit cards) - but I'm not necessarily sure that means that I should be?
