You don't actually need a certificate to have a secure server. as long as
you see a https in the header and the little padlock in the bottom bar you
are on a secure site. IIRC all the certificate does is shows the owner of
the site is who they say they are. If its a site like paypal where you know
who they are and what they do, I wouldn't worry even if their certificate
has expired (which it hasn't)
Dont think browsers cache ssl pages so it wouldn't be that
