If you do register and setup your bank account, you become a verified member. Paypal does not make any withdrawls from your bank account when you purchase. Charges are made to the merchant selling. I know, I'm a Paypal seller. Please stop posting misinformation regarding Paypal. The fact it that Paypal actually deposits money into your bank account to verify you. And as to the bogus emails, that has nothing to do with Paypal, but is simple scammers trying to make free money. They do the same with the banks. I think this stuff has been snuffed though, I haven't got any of those for a long while. As always, login to your bank or Paypal before giving any information. Do not click on links in emails... -- Jim Davis, Owner, Eastern Beaver Company: http://easternbeaver.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits - Powerlet, Posi-Lock I'm a BMW rider and enthusiast.
