One of my first (and small) ebay transactions was on an item that didn't ship, and the seller wouldn't reply to numerous calls, emails, etc.
Paypay / EBAY was only able to credit a small portion of the charge back to me (it was on my credit card). I followed all of their processes, which are somewhat cumbersome (just try to get a live person or a responsive, non mass form email from them. I finally worked it out with my credit card company for the difference.
Moral:
Ebay makes you validate your acccount with a bank account after a certain dollar amount is spent there. Due to the lack of responsiveness or accountability from them when I had a problem, I would NEVER feel comfortable directly paying from my back account with them. BUYER BEWARE. I'll send certified money order or the like, first.
They make you go thru extra steps EVERY time you use a credit card, and generally make it a PIA to not use the direct bank account, but they do not protect you if you do so.
