GMail Protects Your Paypal and Ebay Accounts
Almost everyday, phishers are sending me phishing emails. But now, with the team work of Paypal, eBay and Gmail, Paypal users using Gmail emails will now be safe from phishers.
I was once fooled by this kind of emails (phisher’s email). I thought the message telling me that my account had been changed to “unverified” status is true and that I needed to verify it again. I clicked the supposed link to Paypal website from the phishing email and then logged in to Paypal from the fake Paypal homepage. The result is: My paypal account had been stolen. Well, I was not worried with that incident because that paypal account of mine has no funds at all and was actually an unverified one.
Last July 8, 2008, the Gmail blog announced that Gmail is now capable of rejecting fake paypal or ebay emails. Emails coming from them are now signed using the DomainKeys and DKIM (Domainkeys Identified Mails) which is the ones used by Gmail in identifying legit emails. With this, Gmail users starting to the date of announcement will no longer see any fraudulent emails coming from @paypal.com or @ebay.com email (source), not even in the SPAM folder.
However, you still have to be vigilant even if Gmail is trying to secure you from phishers.

P.S.
I have one question in mind: Should paypal users using Yahoo Mail need to change their email from Yahoo Mail to Gmail for their paypal accounts?

I think switching over to GMAIL is worth it.
I never really liked Yahoo because of it’s limited capabilities…
