How secure is paypal?

My parents won't let me buy hosting because they think it is not secure. Do you have any experience with paypal? If yes tell me how safe it is

i would say its pretty safe but not for like mass money sending (im talking 4-10k) cause wen i was doing money making sites paypal had problems accepting the money.. but for small like 1-500 would b fine.

So, it is impossible for someone to steal all my money from my bank account? (<-that's what my parents worry about!)

no... its true users of paypal have had problem.. but sites like that are just plain annoying, i myself have been on it, and everyone sits on there complaining about paypal, and i would like one of them to start up a perfect payment system... its NOT possible, because scammers and the like have to screw everything up, so as long as there is people like that there will always be problems... and also there is problems with the paypal company themselves, but every company has problems. as i said they werent perfect, and i would like to see one of those people complaining do something better..

the fact is, paypal is the easiest safest way to pay on the internet atm, so its the best you can do
