Paypal is probably more secure than any other method of paying e-bay
customers and others it is supported by World-Pay (Natwest)
The only problem is that they charge you if you take money out of the system
but if all your using it for is to transfer money (like a credit card) it
works out a bit like a credit card but for Internet purchases from non
companies its ideal. Plus if you pay for something and the goods fail to
show palpay will retrieve your money at your request.

If you want to become a verified user they do actually give you money.
