PAYPAL, Add a Bank Account...
Hello,
I recently got an ATM / Debit card (Not credit card) which is connected to my checking type bank account. I also successfully created a Paypal account and connected it to this debit card.
After I activated the paypal account, it asked me if I also wanted to add a bank account to paypal, my IBAN Number and the name of the bank.

I have not added my bank account to Paypal yet, as I was not sure of the risks / benefits of doing so.
So, if I don’t and leave it as it is (Paypal connected to the debit card only) will I not be able to make withdrawals from PayPal to my bank account, buy or sell stuff on-line or through ebay?
Also what are the benefits / risks of doing do?
About this quote, “Avoid high bank transfer fees”. Will I have to pay higher bank transfer fees in my transactions if I don’t connect Paypal to my checking type bank account and leave it only with the debit card?
I live in Greece E.U. and the local currency is Euro.
Please excuse my ignorance as I have never used Paypal / Ebay before, so any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
