So? Just don't give them access to your bank account! Continue using them
in a credit card-only mode. I've never even tried to figure out this whole
"link-to-a-bank-account" thing, because it sounds so screwy and doesn't make
any sense to me. I mean, really, once they have my CC info, what in the
world is the point of giving them bank account info? Since I can't fathom
it, I just ignore it and use PayPal as I've always used them -- as a way I
can pay by credit card online.
