Paypal
Has anyone here used Paypal? I tried getting some stuff from Hottackle using my credit card and the final screen asked for info that I never had to give before - last 4 of Soc sec, DOB etc. - .. I'll try it with Paypal if it's relatively painless.

You shouldn't ever have to give your SS or DOB to use a CC online.
Paypal is perfectly safe, just be sure to always make sure you are on a secure connection (the padlock icon is closed) to paypal.com and don't ever enter your paypal account information into an email or link from an email.
If paypal ever needs info, they will direct you to the paypal site where you log in securely...then make a change.
There are a lot of internet scams to steal your identity, but with a little attention you won't ever get burnt.
