I've had good luck buying through Paypal, but not selling. I don't wish to "verify" by giving them access to my bank account, I've been burned (for several THOUSAND dollars) by a traditional merchant account company once before by doing that. And they were the "trustworthy, established, most reputable" one. So my policy is, no company, for any reason, gets my bank account number. My problem with them is: why can't they send me a check instead of having to deposit? So...I only use Paypal to get paid for ebay auctions, then I spend the money in other Paypal-only transactions. Which sucks because I really thought their shopping cart feature was nice, and I'd like to use their "virtual credit card" to buy stuff here at the Marketplace. But they don't need, and won't get, access to my bank account, no matter how reliable, established, or trustworthy they are. That having been said, my experience with them has been mostly good.
