The "s" stands for "secure" and it means that the connection between you (and in this case) PayPal is encrypted (scrambled) so that a "man-in-the-middle" cannot snoop on your conversation with the website. It's how credit card details are kept secure in transit, although it's worth noting that it's just as important to have some reassurance that they're securely handled *after* they reach the web site too... Make sense? --Chris
