Warning...Are You Getting Ripped Off Using Paypal?
 
While I was researching payment systems the other night, I came across some interesting info about
paypal.

Apparently, if you read "view source", you can see
where you would be sent if you were to order. If
this is an automatic download, theft is definately
a possiblity.

So, the best thing to do is send them to a thank
you page that says that the product will be sent
to them by email AFTER THE SALE IS CONFIRMED!

Hope this saves you some cash!


Bet you could put this together in 10 days!!

Just to clarify, it seems to me this will only occur with digital products. There's no way someone can rip me off in this way if I'm shipping a tangible product.
