Hi, Can someone hack into my paypal account if ive only sent a payment request? The person is supposedly wanting to buy an item from me but kept asking for my paypal details but I just sent a money request instead.

They can't hack your paypal account with your paypal email address as long as you don't give them your password !!!!!

 

BUT be VERY careful of scams.

 

Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal do not tell you to send trackable, they advise it for selling protection but it is not compulsory.
Paypal NEVER expect you to use a rival money transfer service eg Moneygram or Western Union etc.


Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
