Does eBay require that your account be linked to your bank account?

I’ve about had enough of eBay. I’ve been dealing on eBay for the last 18 years with 1162 buying & selling transactions. Suddenly I’m being told that I’m a risk to eBay unless link my checking account. This is BS. I’m a risk to no one as I’ve never had negative feedback and my eBay account is already linked to my PayPal account. See eBay message to me below.

Looks like I’m done with eBay. How about you?
