This is not a new policy. I've been verified with PayPal for twelve years and find it to be the best way to both pay and be paid. It is especially good for international transactions, as they take care of the currency differential. Sellers get paid immediately. I've done nearly 1000 trades on eBay, about half selling and half buying, and much prefer PayPal to any other method. As for security, you don't give them access to your primary account. Just get a free checking account and keep a low balance in it.

Ebay / Pay has instituted a policy of requiring buyers that meet a spending threshold of $10K, to be "verified". This "verified" process requires that one either grant eBay / PayPal access to your bank account, or apply for a PayPal Master Card. Granting PayPal or anyone else unlimited access to my bank account is not going to happen in my life time. For those who place items on BUY NOW , unlike bid items, the contact seller option is not possible. From now on I will contact sellers that use PayPal for payment that if they will accept other than PayPal as payment, will bid on their item(s), if not no deal. Don't think that I will be alone in this stance. Hope all had a great Thanksgiving. R/S Bill Rigsby .
