What ebay does not tell you, is that if you have funds in Paypal
and your acct is frozen for any reason, wave goodbye to your funds 
as you will be put onto a theme park ride of spin as they find new 
and exciting ways to keep you from accessing your account.

My Credit Union will not authorize deposits to Paypal from my account
as they make the point that Paypal is not a bank.

My experiences with ebay has been quite good until recently, but 
they are marketing to the wrong person if they want me to use Paypal.
