Re: why would anyone link their bank accnt to paypal
Typical AC comment, blame 'the system' for lack of control.
As has been pointed out, using a CC has many benefits to the user. I have a low limit card for all online purchases (yes I even keep rejecting their limit increases) my logic being if it got hacked it'd a) not be my money anyway and b) the amount they could obtain would be limited to a few hundred quid.
I can happily argue with a CC company or PayPal until the cows come home, my current account is totally unaffected; mortgage, gas, mobile etc all get paid. Try that when your debit card is trashed and your account is plundered. Yes you may get a refund eventually but trying to cover bills or plead with service providers isn't my idea of fun.
