After $1,000 in purchases via PayPal with a credit card, they will require you
to "verify" your account with a checking account number (and can't explain to
you how this "verifies" anything), which becomes the default payment source
for you. The real reason: a direct debit to your checking is cheaper for
PayPal than a merchant bankcard fee. There's no way to make the cc the
default source after the fact (you _can_ do it manually each time).

Always a lot of hassle, like filing for insurance claims. Most consumers never
figure out the procedure until after they need the service and then realize
that they are "missing" a required document or notification, or have missed a
deadline date.
