Just purchased an item on Ebay, and with no warning Ebay made the payment using my paypal account without me logging in to paypal.
So how can they access my paypal without the password.
W@nk*rs.

Um.... I suspect you may well have said "yes" when you last logged in to them linking your paypal and ebay accounts...

I think this is a good thing..it has always been annoying having to log into ebay, then log into paypal...

My accounts are linked but I still have to confirm through several screens when purchasing thru ebay.

Unfortunately from memory they have set 'yes' to be the default, so you don't even have to explicitly say it...

Personally I think it's a bad thing. I prefer that extra level of safety of two separate passwords, just to make absolutely sure. And to protect my daughter from 'accidentally' buying a pony...

Happened to a friend last night, had some kind of message saying "thank you for using ebay fast payment" or something like that

"My accounts are linked but I still have to confirm through several screens when purchasing thru ebay. "

Me 2, its mildy frustrating, but i suppose, it benifits me, in case some twit at work thinks its funny to purchase somthing very expensive on Ebay, on my account, if ive nipped of for a poo, and left my PC on!!!

Not happened to me, but strange emails have been sent around our departments, and the last one, very funny "he had confessed to being a gay drag queen, doing all the clubs in brighton, and could hand out free pass's to anyone who wanted them

This Guy is 6'8" tall, and must weigh 25-30 stone, !!! and hes a Brighton FC fan, so it must be true !!
he was NOT impressed
