| People should be aware, before using Paypal.com, that in doing so
| they give up one of the chief benefits of using a credit card: getting
| the card issuer to grant a refund upon non-performance of the payee.

You also give up a degree of privacy: if you give PayPal your credit card
number, they have it forever (or until it is revoked or expired). And
given that they can revoke their privacy and security any time they wish,
without warning....
