I think that you are mistaken.

If this is, indeed, happening, I strongly urge you to make it stop.

You can store their expiration date, but not the card number - I believe.

How does the customer know that it gets immediately transferred? How do I,
as a customer, know that you haven't set something up in the 'submit' line
that also transfers that data to the Sysadmin, as well as PayPal? (It's very
easy to do!)

JJ>>How is that different than entering it into PayPal's form?

Because you are connected directly to PayPal's web page via a secure
connection with no detours. If I put it in on your site through a secure
connection, you can capture it before you send it on to PayPal, and are you
sending it on via a secure connection?
