Chip,
I think no much. It also appeared that the card number was stolen, not from
PayPal, but by an unscrupulous employee at a store/shop where the card had
been used other than through PayPal. Looks to me like PayPal was just the
'venue of choice' for illegal use of the card after the requisite info was
stolen.

This story seem to me to have little to do with
whether Paypal is safe to use or not. The card user
isn't any more responsible for the fraudulent charges
on Paypal than he is if it had been used to buy hard
goods at any retailer. It also seems to be unconnected
to use of Paypal by the cardholder - the thief simply
used his own fraudulent Paypal accounts to transfer
money to himself - it had nothing to do with the
cardholder's Paypal account.
Am I missing something here?
