They do this so that they know it's not somebody setting up a paypal account for themselves using your bank account that can then be used to hoover up all your cash to spend on PAYG phones and flatscreen tellies. Paypal asking for a couple of characters from you by way of confirmation that you're not being defrauded is a good thing.
