So many companies.

Ok, I'm really paranoid now.
I have used lots of different companies for vaping and always check their trust rating on trustpilot but...

My question is > I always make a point of using paypal for security but is there anyway that companies can take money from your account (without a purchase) based on the bank details that you used when you purchased something?

Or is it a case that the company will make the request from PayPal and they (PayPal) will extract the money from your account? so the company will never get a direct payment from your bank, only PayPal will?

Stupid and confusing question I know but Can somebody ease my paranoia please? Thanks

I've suffered the same paronoia, @Zutankhamun.

As far as I can tell, a company requests the money from paypal and paypal confirm that payment with you.. if you confirm then payment goes ahead... if you dont confirm no payment can be taken.

Reread your post: paypay pays company and takes from you as to keep your details private.

This is why it shows as PayPay payment on your statment.

Thanks a lot. I guess I knew it really because like you said, most transactions appear as PayPal payment on my statement.
Guess I just wanted someone like yourself to confirm it for me.

Thanks opticruby

At the beginning of every month i put money in my Pay Pal acct.

And either use Pay Pal or Pay Pal card for everything but my rent and electricity.

It's a good idea. Iv used my details when buying a d2 skin from all the way where you are. It was back in the day when I could only get a skin stateside (is that still a thing) but the company was a big trusted one. I forget their name now but I think it was cool. Opticians and that's about it i think. Otherwise it's PayPal.
