I use paypal regularly and have had no problem. Link a bank account? Of course, that’s how e-commerce works these days. I always keep the bank paypal account separate from my normal accounts to keep it safe. You deposit $5.00 open a checking account and there you go. When you have funds in the account, withdraw them and move on. C’mon, this isn’t rocket science.
Scam Alert
