I used to use PayPal a lot, but I reached my spending limit of $5000, and PayPal wanted me to verify my account by giving them my bank account #.

I didn't want to give them my bank account number, so now I can't use my credit card to buy flex points since my credit card is linked to my PayPal account.

In a nutshell, if this isn't corrected, i.e., if I can't buy flex points by means other than through PayPal, it is the end of my association with goallineblitz, as my players cannot remain competitive without boosting.

Can this please be fixed?

Paypal is awesome......they would lose a 100 times more people by dumping paypal.

I can understand your reluctance to giving them your account number. But I would like to point out that Paypal is one of the safest ways to send money. The merchant never see's any of your personal info. ( account numbers, credit card numbers. etc..)
Also, paypal will not charge your bank account unless you choose that method as payment.

Why is the spending limit so low?
I have run more than that through PayPal in a day.

I like the convenience of PayPal, no doubt. However, if I have been a good customer and have used their service for $5000 worth of transactions, why would they need my bank account number. If I use a credit card anywhere else, a bank account number is not required. It just doesn't make sense.

I also agree with your assessment of "100 times more", however out of principal, I refuse to give my bank account #. I see no reason why PayPal needs this, especially considering we (PayPal and I) have had $5000 worth of good faith.

There is always a way to hack an account. Why add to the target?

I doubt if PayPal can provide encryption security enablers better than any of the following:

Global Payments: Under 1.5 million account numbers hacked

Global Payments Inc. hinted on Sunday night that about 1.5 million consumers were impacted by the massive credit card hack that first came to light on Friday -- fewer than the 10 million that was initially reported.

Payment processors -- "middle men" that handle transactions between retailers and banks -- have long been a target of identity thieves because of the enormous amounts of data they control. In 2008, Princeton, N.J.,-based Heartland Systems was hacked, exposing tens of millions of credit card account numbers to theft.

Citi says 360,000 accounts hacked in May cyber attack

(Reuters) - Citigroup Inc said a cyber attack in May affected almost twice as many accounts as the bank's figures had initially suggested, as major U.S. lenders come under growing pressure from lawmakers to improve account security.

A total of 360,083 North American Citigroup credit card accounts were affected by the breach, the third-largest U.S. bank by assets said in a statement released late on Wednesday.

Of those affected, some 217,657 customers were reissued with new cards along with a notification letter, while the remaining accounts were either inactive or had already received new cards earlier, the bank added

I'm still using the same credit card so they wouldn't take it.

I get an error saying "you can't use this card" or something like that.

Post his address and I'll oblige.

Paypal is fine. If you don't want to risk your account number online, stop playing online games.

he has a point. So does everyone who is saying -1, but why on earth would they need an account number if they have never had an issue with his payments?

I would just like an alternative to PayPal.

However, you are correct; I will stop playing if there is no payment substitute to PayPal.
