How safe is it really to add your bank account info to paypal?
Seems like the best way to get your money, I'm just a little nervous about it.

never click on link via email, always go to the site, so go straight to paypal.com, dont copy and paste link also
so far so good for me..

the only weird thing i've had with it is with selling stuff on ebay.
if you ship something without a tracking number, you have zero recourse if the receiver tells them they never got the item - whether they did or not. i've had problems with this shipping stuff out of country a lot.

Paypal is safe as long as you keep your info away from the clever spammers.
I've been using it for four years, I even get paid by clients thru it.
No problems.

safer than using your credit/debit card down at your local corner store to buy some cigs and beer when you didnt have any cash

LOL! So true. Had that happen to me. Some jerk took my credit card and bought a printer, paper and tons of ink! Lucky me I never use that card and just happened that I had no cash so I charged that one and only time. The credit card company was really good about it and called me up to see if that was me. When they found out what had happened they took care of everthing......I wonder what happened to that punk kid that used my credit card???

paypal, and anything else, is only as secure as your machine and/or network. with the explosion of wireless, sometimes open wireless, be careful where you are when you access anything sensitive.
using ssh tunnels is a good way to make sure you are secure :->
