I haven't logged into itunes in over a year. Paypal wasn't even my payment method at itunes. I had a credit which had expired.
BUT according to Paypal, when you sign up for itunes, you check something about having an agreement with Paypal, so even though Paypal isn't your payment
method, it can be used.
Paypal canceled that agreement for me today.
People might want to call Paypal and see if they have that agreement with itunes if you have an itunes account as well.
What a mess. Stressing big time over that $250. I meant to transfer it but my DD came in from Canada and we had our big Annual August Birthday Bash and
hardly went online over the past six days.
After googling it I found it is a big deal and has been going on for since 2007 but has ramped up in the past week.

Glad these hackers are a continent away because I am so angry right now.

1|1|Thanks, Lisa.....I didnt see anything at PP today, but I'll keep checking....I havent used iTunes in a year or more either. One question, do they have to have your iTunes password AND your PP password to process the payment? If so, make sure those passwords arent the same! :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|16:15:03|08/18/2010|
