I fell into the category of needing to add my bank details, so I stopped using eBay. I've got not intention of giving a commercial etailer direct access to my bank account. Apart from the obvious risk of any security breach, you lose the various purchase benefits associated with the card like insurance and extended guarantees etc..

Having been the target of a credit card fraud I look at it the other way. I'd rather give out details once and not to every single retailer I buy from. I think that just multiplies the risk.

I believe you are correct here John. I work for a company that provides financial products and due to the EU compliant money laundering legislation you refer to we cannot accept transactions over a certain amount without having to verify the identity of the payer. Ownership of a credit card is not considered proof of identity.

PayPal could verify ownership of a credit card, without resorting to insisting on bank details.
They could use the system they refer to on their forum.
I think that they are using EU legislation as an excuse.

Don't forget you can use Paypal to be paid as well as for paying. In which case they need your bank details to credit money to you. Unless you prefer to leave it with Paypal

That's why Paypal has my bank account details.

Most payments now from bank to PayPal are through direct debit now... obviously cheaper for PayPal to process than debit it credit card payments....

I appreciate that is part of the PayPal system but all I want it for is the ability to pay for items on websites that I have never previously used, without separately entering my credit card details.Don't forget you can use Paypal to be paid as well as for paying.

Google Checkout and Amazon Payments are now coming on stream in the UK, so perhaps I shall use those, whilst waiting for my PayPal limit to be reset

A bit off topic, but does anyone know how to get back a credit from ebay.
I paid the appropriate fee for the advertising and consequent sale commision. The buyer didn't cough up so the sale was eventually nullified. Now every month I get an email advising me I'm in credit.

Login to your account. On the "My Account" tab go to "Withdraw" there should be "Transfer to Bank Account". Normally take a few days to show up.
