I have been with TM for years and never once have I had a problem with a bank account. This is just a way to extort more fee's in the disguise of "safety". Over the last five years or so TM has changed and not for the better, they can't fix the bugs which make selling difficult eg: We can't see watchers, can't make FPO on items. Sadly this is it for me and I'm sure many others will say goodbye too. This used to be a wonderful site, I still have my signed TM novel from 2007...how things have changed. Whoever decided this was a good idea needs their head read. 

Callum...I would rather have banking as an option thanks. I don't care about the fee's, you make money off our money going through ping so please don't treat us like children. I don't like ping, I don't want ping...if you looked at my account you would see I have NEVER used ping. Why are you forcing sellers to use something many don't want? Doesn't matter which way you spin it, its wrong.
