So I've actively avoided any seller who uses this program on eBay, and I know a few US sellers who've abandoned it for the same reason as it was costing them sales.
If an item is being sold with that silly program then I'm out.

Hey guys,
Would anyone know why I suddenly can't use my bank account to pay for stuff on Ebay??
It's all there linked & primary account on my Paypal profile but when I try to buy something on Ebay it automatically selects my C/C & then doesn't give me the option to change it.
My account isn't due to expire anytime soon & there's definitely enough money in there.
Can't seem to find any option on Ebay to switch it back to using my Account.
It was fine yesterday morning when I paid for some auctions but not since last night when I went to buy something else
Driving me insane.

I noticed a few days ago that my Paypal payments for eBay wins were defaulting to my credit card instead of my bank account, but as I usually pay for them with my CC, then I didn't mind the swap. I'll have to check out what's listed as choices the next time I win something...Lie with passion and be forever damned...

I tried getting onto live chat with Ebay yesterday but the wait time was ridiculous & couldn't get through.
Might try again later.
The really bad thing is I can't check if anythings changed unless I almost go through a BIN purchase.

Third time in a year I've just had a phishing e-mail supposedly from Paypal asking me to update my credit card details using the 'helpfully' provided link. I go to My Account direct just to check and no such request/necessity indicated.
What bothers me is that these emails, by all normal criteria, look genuine and that when with the first two when I contacted Paypal asking whether it was from them they wouldn't or couldn't give me a straight answer. They just sent me an email link for reporting phishing and that was the last I heard about it.
Either the email was from them or is was phishing. If it wasn't genuine why not simply confirm that? That way you know for sure to be very wary of any such future requests. By not saying that the request to update account details did not come from them they've created unneccesary uncertainty which must increase the risk that a Paypal account and associated banking details being compromised.
