Logging out of paypal after making payment for an ebay item

When making payment for an ebay item using paypal, the system takes me to the paypal log in site and I log in there as expected and go through the steps to make the payment.

Now here is my concern. When I have made the payment, the paypal page closes and i return to ebay.  At this point i have no idea as to whether the paypal site  has logged me off correctly or is still open.  Because of this, everytime I make a payment I have to log out of ebay and clear the cash and reset my browser so that I am satisfied that I am actually logged out of paypal.  I why don't you  provide a log out of paypal option once payment is completed so that users know that  they have actually logged out of their paypal account. 

 

My concern is that on the occasions that I may use computer that is not mine or a public place, I may not have the ability to clear the cache and browser history from the browser and fear that my paypal account is still open to any other user of the computer.

 

Any suggestions?

Hi Muso, 

 

As far as I am aware your PayPal account will log you out automatically after 5 minutes. You should also have the option in the top right hand corner to log yourself out before returning to eBay. 

 

Also once you navigate away from PayPal it will log you out also. 

 

I hope this helps
