On the other hand, this is how Paypal prevents scammers from screwing people over. For example, as a verified account, I can't just take your money, withdraw it, and then shut down the account without sending you your order. It's a common problem on ebay and the reason they started implementing that policy. It's also why Paypal can now offer you insurance up to, I think $500. So really the point is so they can offer you better protection as a buyer and monitor you as a seller.
lol, sure ask me anything. It's pretty straightforward though. You link a source of funding (a card or account) then paypal charges you for your purchases plus their fees (which they outline on their site). The charges show up on your invoice just like any other purchases. I think you can use Paypal without verifying (the trouble that Wired is dealing with now) for up to $700.
I think it's easier to just verify right away. It's not any different than doing automatic payments for your cell or energy bill and then you can withdraw you Paypal funds anytime you want.
Also, doesn't linking to your bank account/having a paypal credit card make sure that you actually have the money to spend? So that the seller doesn't get screwed over with a bouncing check?
Anyway...don't worry, if you get screwed over by Paypal...I know where they're based in SJ...we can smokebomb the place. Or put a flaming bag of poop on their doorstep.
While I can understand those reasons, what really burns me up, is that they were essentially forcing only two actions on me I truly did not want or care for, without showing me the third. Now that it has been two days and such, they have sent me e-mails telling me how to verify the card without linking it up. But again, I feel this third option which has equal weight to me, should have been stated at the forefront (instead of slowly, slowly revealed). The fact that Paypal appears to have deliberately blocked this information makes me extremely angry.
(I know way too much about Paypal now, sorry.)

"Flaming poop left at major service company. Stock plummets."
Anyway, Paypal has no reason to screw you over. You're how they make money, they want to take care of you.
