Here's the bottom of the email she sent me telling me I was seeing a 
self-signed Cert because I didn't update my browser's "Trusted Root 
Certification Authorities certificate".  She even told me how to update 
it on the Microsoft Windows Update page.

When I wrote her back (replied to the email) explaining that I had 
Firefox the email got returned with a nice message telling me I should 
call again instead, that PayPal doesn't accept replies to their emails.

Let me rephrase what I said before: I no longer feel comfortable leaving 
money in PayPal's hands.
