Hey Rich!
It's danged secure and last time I checked, PayPal processes about $4Billion in transactions per month and if their secure technology were deemed insecure, we'd prolly found out by now? Anyway, for folks like yourself who'd rather send in a check, you bet you can do it that way!
Btw - you going to MD later this month??? Hope to catch up with you there (and bring some cookies, ok?
)
Best to you!
John
