When I pay for an item online using PayPal how do I know the website I am redirected to is the offical PayPal website and not a clone used to get my login information?  After all with my login information someone could charge anything to my account.

Suggest reading the information in PayPal's Security Center.

To make your Paypal account bullet-proof, visit the security center in your Paypal account and buy one of their security keys for $5.  It puts a separate, randomly-generated numerical password on your account that changes every 30 seconds and cannot be hijacked, even if the scammer has your password.

Thanks for the input...I activated my security key and I feel much safer about my account now.
