PayPal thought - as much as I have a lot of trust in paypal (deep familiarity with their security measures) I was sort of shocked

Posted by Capstern May 16 '16, 11:45

when I was connecting my SolarFlare Games business bank account to my paypal so that I could run business con trans directly to it and pay art fees with it but for INSTANT verification of the account they wanted my LOGIN information for my bank account.

Look I trust you but I think I will wait the 2 days for you to deposit and pull the 19 cents from the account vs giving you full login access to my account.

You say you dont retain the information and probably not but that was new and inherently kind of scary ask from them

I would just change my password before giving it to them and again after they verify. -- nm - GregW May 16, 11:58 1

I don't trust PayPal. Not because of security, but because of demonstrated assholistic tendencies. -- nm - Beryllium May 16, 11:50 3
- I only had one issue when their swipe software wouldnt work with my Note 5 - fixed since - Capstern May 16, 11:56
