Gosh, MaryAnn... I hadn't thought about that (that by getting the paypal/ebay credit card, I just opened the door for them to ck my info). duh... I feel stupid. But, I have had the card for about a year and everything has gone swimmingly.
The original card I used on paypal had a $ 1000.00 limit. It was the only card I used for online purchases and ebay. This ebay card has a $ 3000.00 limit. If that is increased much more, I will ask for a lower limit or ask to cancel the card. I have no intention of charging up or carrying a balance with any credit card if I can help it. I had to threaten to close my account to get the $ 1000.00 card limit. Most folks want to up their limit, I guess... not lower it. But I feel better using a low-limit card on line. Lola H.
