I swore off Paypal sometime ago. The gun issue is reason enough but they also demand to be allowed to link to my checking account which I absolutely refuse. Their customer service is nonexistant at best.
You can’t buy anything on ebay without running it through them so I simply don’t buy from ebay unless I find a vendor who will circumvent paypal.
You can refuse them access to your bank account if you are only purchasing items.
They try to make it appear that you must give them access; if you simply refuse to do so, you get an account you can use with a credit card. Each time you use it they will attempt to bluff you into giving them access to your bank account.
Just do not do it.

Not so. I have an account that is not linked to a bank account.
Same here. Pity, I got a lot of computer parts there.
Years ago when I sold on ebay, I opened up a 2nd account at my bank just for ebay/paypal....I could then transfer money from paypal to this checking account. Never let paypal go over 100 dollars as they had the right to put a freeze on your bank account if there was a conflict. I then would take the money out of that bank account when it got too high, (like 150.00)
