Their all the same. They advertise security etc etc. Last time I made a claim using paypal they sent me a very threatening email . Do they think their talking to dummies. Long as you keep making purchases and all is ok , soon as an item you bought goes defective and you want to make a claim it becomes a whole new ball game.

Now it became popular to have the account in paypal.
