I also don't believe it's a good idea to provide "private" information to PayPal in order to link one's bank account. My biggest question however is "why in the world would they possibly need your pin number?" No one needs the pin number except the owner of the bank account. After reading all of your posts I wish I had never linked my bank account and I refuse to give them my pin. I'll wait the two or three days for them to verify funds. Does anyone know if it's possible to close all accounts with PayPal and not use them anymore. I can't seem to get that information from them. Having asked that question, it's probably too little too late anyway since they already have my bank and credit card information. Guess I'll need to get knew accounts - what a pain. Just because PayPal is supposed to be "secure" doesn't mean the employees who work there, and have access to our information, are trustworthy. The day I linked my bank account to PayPal someone tried to use it in New York (I was on the West Coast at the time) but they couldn't because they didn't have the pin number. Coincidence? Perhaps, perhaps not. Thanks for letting me vent.
