PayPal is not supposed to share credit card details with other parties apart from confirmation of the billing address.

Paypal makes a monthly payment to Clickbank for a service that I am subscribed to.

I have had a problem with my credit card and last month's payment was not processed.

This is a part of an email received from Clickbank...

Why do Clickbank have my credit card details on file? I have never given them details of my card, only of my Paypal account!  This is not good.

You need to understand the various products that are available to sellers.

 

If a seller is using PayPal's Website Payments Standard, "no" credit card information is shared with that seller.  

 

If a seller is using PayPal's Website Payments Pro or PayPal's Payflow Payment Gateway, they do collect and store your credit card information.
