As I understand it, the minimum credit card charge is $5 as far as 
PayPal is concerned (if I read the fine print correctly), so I don't 
understand how one transaction could have wiped out your $10 credit. 
Unless it was a minimum set by your debit card rather than by PayPal.

I have used Paypal for a few transactions so far without any 
problems. No cash advance fees on my credit card account, etc. I 
personally will not give them my bank account numbers because I don't 
believe there is any $$$ limit to the liability that a person can 
incur from any potential fraudulant transfers, as opposed to using a 
credit card where I believe the usual $50 limit would apply if there 
was a security breach and fraudulant charges occurred. Does anyone 
know any more about this? -Linda Nygren (Should this discussion be on
