Security Considerations
While paypal.me is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.
Custom Subdomains
paypal.me allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.paypal.me". An address like "paypal-secure.paypal.me" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not PayPal.
Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
