Adding bank account gives ebay direct debit authority

Just fired up ebay app and saw the notice about changing payment setup. I went through the setup handing over more details to ebay until I got to the last step of adding my bank account so I can get paid. But in small print it says I am giving ebay direct debit authority to take money out of my account. Given they intent taking my sale payments and waiting two days before paying out and taking even more fees why would they need the ability to dip into my bank account? I have no interest in giving that level of access.

Re: Adding bank account gives ebay direct debit authority

I still disagree with their direct debit policy so I have not sold anything on eBay since. AFIK I do not have a restriction on my account for making purchases.
