Online fraud is one of the leading ways for thieves to steal your credit, rob you of your money, and take away your personal identity and your confidence to shop online. People are so wary of online credit fraud—and for good reason—that they don’t even shop online. Some people, and you probably know some of them, resolve themselves to shopping by phone or through the mail the old-fashioned ways.
This makes sense because, really, there are so many ways for people to rob you online. They could steal your credit card the old-fashioned way—right out of your wallet—and simply use the card number and its expiration date online. Or, more insidiously, they could hack into a online shop’s Web site and steal your credit card information from there, either as you type it in or from where the store saves all its customers’ information.
Scary, right? But then again, online shopping is so convenient it’s scary in its own right! Where else can you find store upon store of every shopping item under the sun, without even having to leave your home? Where else can you auction on antiques, or get rock-bottom clearance prices on designer and otherwise expensive items? It’s simple but true—if you are not shopping online, you are missing some of the best steals and deals, and most convenient shopping, around.
So there has to be some safe middle ground, right? You should be able to find somewhere online where can still shop to your heart’s content, all the while feeling safe that your credit card information and your identity are safe. You should, and you can.
Thanks to a technology called SSL, or Secure Socket Layer technology. SSL works by making Web sites secure on the Internet, by encrypting or mixing up the data so no one but you can see what you’re doing on a given page. It basically works like a padlock on the page, so while you’re on the SSL protected page, no one else can sneak in, read your credit information, and make off with your valuable personal and private data.
How can you tell if you’re on an SSL protected shop site online? One way is to look at a Web page’s certificate. This information will tell you that the Gap page you are on is actually the Gap’s Web site, set up by the famous clothing store and not some fake site set up by a thief looking to steal your info. Another way is to look at the Web page address, or URL. If it starts with “https://” instead of the usual “http://”, that extra “s” stands for secure, thanks to SSL.

I know on windows if you get that error, you have to make sure the date, time abd year are correct on the comp. and make sure the comp. is in the correct time zone. Im not sure if its the same with a mac, but its worth a try.

If all of their personal information is being gathered through Pay Pal then no there is no reason to get an SSL Certificate. Just let them politely know that they will be making their secure purchased through Pay Pal.
If you are gathering information such as their name, address and other personal information it could be wise to have an SSL on your site. For example, will it be a shopping cart software that stores all their information, and just for payment send it off to Pay Pal? If so, you want the SSL protecting the part where the user is logging in and editing personal information.

You’re really good man. You’ve got excellent talent.
1. No, you can't (at least not from an accredited company). EV stands for extended validation. Verification of identity is one of the requirements for extended validation.
2. The companies issuing EV SSL certificates must pass an audit before they are allowed to do so. Some well known companies are http://www.VeriSign.com, http://www.Entrust.net and http://www.DigiCert.com/ev-ssl
See the EV SSL Certificate FAQ for more info on EV SSL issuing criteria: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Validation_Certificate
yes and no. you do have to have an ssl certificate for ssl to work, but if you create your own, it is not a publically trusted certificate. the person on the other end has to trust that you are who you say you are. you may say, but i am. that is correct, but I also could pretend to be you.
Excellent work. Pleasure to watch. Perfect music

If it's the same domain then it should work fine. The only problem woud lbe if they were different domains, because the oen thats not right would get a message that pop ups every time you try to connect using it, and people would think your site is bad.
