Hi there! I have this situation here where someone subscribed to my download area on my website using a pending eCheck, and that payment failed to clear. By the meantime, the person logged on my site using the username / password Paypal delivered, and downloaded pretty much everything that's possible before the payment gets rejected. This sounds a lot like a fraud to me, as I ended up with hundreds of stolen files. This problem is obviously that the Paypal system issued a username / password before the payment cleared, so my question is: Is it possible to have the system to wait for a payment to clear before issuing a username / password to a customer and my htaccess file? Right now, for the time being, I turned off the 'accept eCheck payment' in my selling preferences, to prevent other frauds. Thanks! -sv

You have already answered your own question. To take it to the next level, you would need to write your own script that would disable the password and User ID PayPal provides for an eCheck payment and activate the pair once the eCheck has cleared. Other wise not accepting the eCheck will prevent the situation you described.
