Paypal is officially the dumbest thing ever

[switch842]

As soon as I get my check from them, I am closing the account and never using them again. WHY WHY WHY do they need my credit card information to verify my address? My address is my address. What it I didn't have a credit card? Would I just be shit out of luck and never get my money from them? Cos it'll be a cold day in hell before I give them access to direct deposit to my bank account. fsdlkrtjgwtuj

There's actually a good reason behind the address validation stuff, but I can't remember it off the top of my head. My dad's ebay obsession has led him to think everyone finds the nuances of paypal rules interesting and he explained it all to me a while ago.

If you can remember, I'd like to know. Cos I just don't get it.
