Pete,
Because i do not want my main savings and checking account numbers anywhere beyond my bank and myself. Also i'm not convinced as to how secure my personal (banking) info is with PayPal.
Also when selling on eBay a disgruntled customer can complain and receive a refund (from the seller's PayPal account) before the seller can explain his side of the transaction. While my eBay reputation (43jackson) is very good, i do all i can to keep it that way. I had one buyer leave a less than good piece of feedback over a $17 transaction without ever contacting me first. eBay would not give me any recourse even after i offered to refund the buyer to keep him happy. If this had gone so far as the customer demanding a refund and was on a large sum, i would have had that money taken from my PayPal account without any warning. That's why i remain skeptical.
Now let's get this back to trains.

Please don't email me a wall of text over your $17 eBay transaction which I wasn't a part of. Thanks.
