The one thing I love about Paypal is how far they’ll go to ensure your security. Dang! Those people have such deliberately elaborate guides about taking care of such frauds. \*\*\*Note: If anyone has a shop at [Cafepress.com](http://Cafepress.com), beware of anyone who offers to pay through Paypal **no matter what**. Just my 2 cents worth. 🙂 ---
