Steve,   My vote has to go with Gene on this one.  About 2 years ago, I 
submitted my Visa # to both PayPal and Yahoo Auction.  My next Visa bill 
showed both purchases and a 400 Deustchmark (sp) billing also.  Visa 
finally cleared it all up in about three months.  They would not tell me 
which company was at fault, but they did say that the company had to 
make good on the German billing because of "poor security" (my quotes). 
 The reason I suspect PayPal is, at the time, they were really pinging 
on me for any banking account number they could obtain above and beyond 
my Visa card.  I thought this was a little odd for a firm merely in 
business ( at that time) to transfer funds. I may be totally wrong but 
I'm not going to risk finding out.
