Secure this, PayPal

PayPal, in their wisdom, says "for security reasons, we cannot mail debit or credit cards to a P O Box"   That statement is of course, pure bullcrap.  What they mean is they won't mail them.  Every credit card issuing bank and department store in the country will mail cards to a P O Box.  Why, because the customer requests it, and because it's much safer and more secure.

Consider this:


The above photo showing RFD mailboxes are on a side road, 100 yards from a major US highway.  They are totally unsecure, but PayPal will mail a credit card to one of them.


The same holds true for these overflowing mailboxes on a four-plex in a poor section of a city.


Post Office boxes in a US Post Office - it doesn't get any safer than this, but PayPal doesn't think so.
