Tasha,

I agree with the others, that it is quite possibly a phishing scam.  You 
may already have concluded the same too.  Were you notified by Email or 
were you contacted by a PayPal employee?  If it was through Email it is 
almost certainly a phishing scam.  However, PayPal does like individuals 
to provide a bank account for "backup" funding.  If PayPal has put some 
sort of hold/requirement on your account you should be able to log in on 
their website and view any problems with your account.  Be sure to type 
in PayPal's URL in your address bar and stay away from hot links in your 
Email.

The greater issue is in the accounting correct?  Just because you have a 
bank account on file with PayPal does not mean you have to use it.  When 
you pay with PayPal they will give you the chance to select a funding 
source.  I've never had my bank account charged for purchases and 
neither should you as long as your credit is good and the account isn't 
maxed out.  Depending on the wishes of the accounting department you 
could simply create a new bank account for collecting purchases.
Hope this helps
