Not that I have but PayPal accounts get hacked quite often when a phishing email purportedly comes from them to update t&Cs etc. I know some people have been conned but if you make sure you check the sending email account you will know, easy said but some people struggle with email etc.

10th of August we find out

Not in my experience, I stopped using Paypal along time ago, there customer service is non existent and don`t feel like money is anywhere near as safe as it is in a bank account 1. Because of the major fraud problem and phishing scams they encounter and 2. They always freeze money with no explanation what so ever, leaving you with there 5 day response time to get an explanation. Not to mention the transaction fees they impose.

You say it is the main way to buy something online but I cant remember ever using it at any retailers at any point, at a guess 95% of transactions online will be simply using a debit card.

I've never used paypal. Contacted the club direct and paid over the phone on my credit card.

I find paypal convenient so tend to use it frequently and have never had any issues using it since its inception along side ebay.

Re Paypal - I've been using it for years, since it was really just an E-bay payment option. I've never had any problems with it. It allows me to make payments to numerous websites (more & more as the years go by) without having to type in my card details each time. Never had any money frozen, never impacted by any hacking and I've simply ignored any phishing e-mails in the same way as I ignore them from other sites. Maybe I've just being lucky with it in the 18 years or so of using it so far.

It may surprise you to know that quite a lot of people don't buy on line.

Not in the least
I totally get that not everyone shops on line

I just don’t get why you wouldn’t start up a PayPal account if you wanted to sponsor a player
Takes 5 mins to set up

Worth noting, I’ve being using my account now for 20 years with no issue as well (touches wood)

Took a 2 minute phone call to club.

And the next time you need to buy something online......

I use Google pay and Samsung Pass to keep my card details safe and pay quickly. Not used PayPal for ages, i often wonder why I still have it on my devices lol

I make a lot of purchases online and did before Covid. I've never used Paypal. Not using Paypal has never stopped me purchasing anything online.
