Originally you could buy stuff through Paypal without an account and using a credit card. Then they required an account to purchase with a credit card, so I opened an account. Then you could only purchase through Paypal if you gave them access to your bank account. I needed to purchase something I could only get via Paypal, so I gave them access to an account I had already decided to close. Got what I needed, closed the account, and that was the end of my Paypal usage.
