I am very confused! I made a one-off purchase from a company, last month, which showed in my bank account as a Direct Debit. In a panic I cancelled the bank's Direct Debit for that particular company (although I make many purchase payments through Paypal) and, having read some of the comments on this thread - particularly about the possibility of having to revalidate my bank with Paypal - I now wonder if I've done the right thing. I'm beginning to understand - I think! - why it was shown as a Direct Debit: because, in order for my bank to pay Paypal it has to have the authority to make payments on demand, regardless of which company I've actually purchased from. Is this right? If so, and if I shall need to revalidate my bank with Paypal, will I receive notice of this or will I just lose the ability to make purchases through Paypal until I contact Paypal and go through the whole process again?
