    No, they could EASILY be keylogging you.

    Oh, if you're logging in on your own computer while controlling somebody else, you're fine. If you log in on theirs, they can keylog you.

    I would still try to avoid the process of them in any way having access to your paypal.

    As the person above me has said. If you're doing on your computer, you're pretty safe. I would avoid using it on his computer. Remember, if he tries something, exit out of the program!
