BTW, you can only set the PayPal account up with the default draw on your bank account. If you want to use your credit card you have to change the method while processing every time you use PayPal. This frustrated me every time I used it and I called to see if the default could be changed. I was told that default can't be changed!
I set up my PayPal account over 10 years ago using a low-limit credit card I use only for online purchases. I have never allowed access to my bank account and PayPal has never required it.

I do, however, frequently get email phishing messages from "PayPal" asking me to confirm my account information. If you mouse over the "click here" link (without clicking, of course) you can easily see that you would not be directed to PayPal at all. I often wonder how many people have been scammed by these scums.
