  That’s pretty scary that can be done. I am glad I don’t have to worry about that!

    it sure is; considering how simple it is to do!
    I’ve had a sneak peak at the next article on the series and wow you would be surprised how insecure some clickbank sites are.

  Well, it is scary if it can be done to me, but if I am doing it, then I don’t care!
  Interesting thing, I hope I won’t be cheated. But, as I offer a service, and I take upfront payment, so unless it appears that they paid 1 cent I won’t have any trouble.

  Haha, I already know about the “Clickbank bug”

  As for this, I don’t think it can really effect you when you’re selling on a small scale, but it will definitely cause problems for those large online shops.

    Those who run ‘automated’ shops will feel the pinch indeed

  Is this for real? How do you guard against this?

  you will have to use secure transactions in paypal / your payment method. Very easy to do.

  Do you mean that simply using SSL will defeat this?

  indeed; SSL or encrypting the the paypal button will work perfectly.
