Payment Method Evolution


So I haven't sold equipment for a bit and went to list some cables only to discover that the only payment options now available on A'gon are credit card and Paypal....can this be correct? So, I have a Paypal account, which I rarely use and care very little about, so decided to list the wire and select Paypal as the method of payment. The A'gon system required me to upgrade to a "verified" account which requires me to enter information about my bank account. WTF? I have no interest in sharing this information with Paypal. Can it be true that in order to use A'gon I now need to jump through these invasive hoops?

@czarivey, so how do you pay when using Agon and Ebay? Do you use PayPal with only a credit card ?
I understand your workaround the bank account.
PayPal has always required your bank account info. A verified acount is when you add a credit card to PayPal. A credit card is safer to use than a bank account IMO.
Being verified allows transactions to be processed faster.
