Another thing - if I'm reading your post correctly - you give PayPal access to your bank account? They can deduct anytime they want?
Normally, the way PayPal works, you can buy things from eBay, Amazon, and other online merchants, and you can pay by using PayPal. This way, whatever you purchase is also covered in case of fraud. I like that part. I like a lot about PayPal. I never had issues before.

What usually happens is you make a purchase, you sign in to your PayPal account with your email address and your password. You verify what you're buying, and click to pay it. Then you get a receipt in your email.

What surprised me is that I didn't get any email verification for anything, which is why I had no idea anything had been purchased. I don't understand how that didn't happen.
