extract from PayPal email. Paypal appear to not have instructions for WP eStore. Should I be concerned.
On December 3, 2014 at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST), PayPal will disable the use of SSL 3.0 within our systems. What this means is that if you use SSL 3.0 to interface with PayPal , you will no longer be able to process transactions from the date above. It may also impact consumers who use old web browsers to log in to PayPal hence communications will be rolled out to all our users to ensure there’s no significant impact as a result of this.
Recently we determined that SSL 3.0 was the target of a new vulnerability risk known as POODLE hence the move. Before setting a deadline, we took some time to carefully consider the needs of our merchants and our requirement to keep all customers safer and more secure.
If you do not personally manage your website or the PayPal Integration we would strongly encourage you to work with your website service partner (developer, hosting company or e-commerce platform, etc.) to ensure this is completed.
Please click on the link below to get a better understanding of what’s required from you to upgrade from SSL to TLS :

It may also impact consumers who use old web browsers to log in to PayPal…
Your eStore is not affected. Your computer might be, if you do not regularly update your web browser.

This is something your hosting provider is responsible for; because we do not specifically tell the server which version of SSL or TLS to use. Most major hosting providers have patched their systems. When in doubt, ask your hosting provider.
