I don't think PayPal will protect you from any abuse because you always link a CC or bank account to it. It just acts as an middle man but I have had CC compromised in the past by using PayPal exclusively (and direct purchases too). There is not much you can do about all of the above. It's not in our hands. Of course don't go buy from 'bad' sites or sites with invalid certificate but in the end the banks always look after the buyer, not the seller so you have nothing to worry about, but for the temporary inconvenience. Sellers are the most affected by CC frauds because they dispatch the goods then the banks reverse the transactions if it turns out to be a hacked or faked CC. They're the losers because they lose the goods.
