Re: PayPal gives out credit card numbers?

Rainer Bauer quoted the alleged leak as: >

The link [visible to seller?], however (in blue underlined writing) is
made up of the [buyer's?] card details used to make the payment.

Anyone concerned that this might be true can simply
make CC-funded PayPal purchases using single-use
CC numbers obtained from their CC issuer.

It's worth learning how to do this, even if you decide you
don't need to for PayPal, because any number of other
ecommerce sites are substantially less secure than PP.
The principal risk to your CC # is not as data in transit on
the internet, but once stored on the merchant's system.
