I recently installed the PayPal plug-in for Internet Explorer and just used
it for the first time today.
I am very impressed with both the convenience and security.
I can now use this plug-in to pay any online vendor, whether they accept
PayPal or not. It automatically fills in my demographic info and then
generates a one-time use credit card (Mastercard) for that particular
transaction. The one-time credit card number then expires and cannot be
used again.
This is one of the best things I've downloaded in a long time. I like to
shop vendors that accept PayPal, but the majority still don't. Now I can
buy from any vendor I want and use my PayPal account for the funds.
If you use PayPal, check it out.
My only gripe is that the plug-in only seems to work with IE and not other
browsers. I do like the current version of IE, however, so that's not a big
issue for me. Would be nice if it worked with Opera, which is my favorite
browser, but you can't have everything.

For a while, Paypal was doing the same thing. I installed a plug-in thing
from them and I would have it generate a one-time use master card number
for me to use and it would withdraw it from Paypal. |

Thanks for the recommendation, however, that is the fastest browser I have
tried. I'm going to keep it.
Unfortunately, for those who've been using the 2.x series of Firefox
and have numerous plug-ins (like me  , many of the plug-ins (most,
the last time I checked, which was a couple of weeks back) will be
incompatible with the new 3.x browser, at least for a while yet, until
they get "caught up."
In the interim, though, there's a way to check out the version 3 beta
without disturbing your 2.x installation.
Details here: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/test
Works slick if you follow the instructions carefully.
Anyway, the extension incompatibility problem will gradually lessen
and essentially go away as the official release nears, I'm sure. |

That's what I was referring to, the plug-in from PayPal.

Downloaded that version of firefox and so far like it a lot, especially
after I found an extension that would give me mouse gestures like Opera
does.
Unfortunately, the PayPal plug-in is not currently compatible with Firefox
3.0, arrrggghhhhh.

Just be careful of the limits. If you do over something, I think, like
$500 or $1000 a month, you have to convert to a commercial account, in
which case any transactions get hit with their 2.3% (or whatever it is)
surcharge even if they are cash. |
