3. How many PayPal accounts can I use with GaragePay?Use as many accounts as you like at the same time.
4. How do I export my data to a CSV file?Just select "Export CSV..." from the "File" menu in GaragePay. All information shown in GaragePay's main window will be exported. Use smart folders and the filter field to export exactly what you need.
5. What about safety measures?There are three safety measures in GaragePay:
   1. Your PayPal password is not saved (or even touched) by GaragePay in any way. Access is via the so-called API credentials which can be deactivated on the PayPal site any time. Those credentials are stored in the Mac OS X keychain.
   2. If you wish to use it, GaragePay can save your database into an encrypted disk image. This is as secure as the File Vault version 1 (pre-Lion), which uses those exact disk images. Lion's full disk encryption is recommended though.
   3. All of GaragePay's interaction is directly with PayPal over SSL. Nothing is funneled through any other servers/systems other than those on the direct route.
