Yeah, ain't no damn way I'd link a bank/checking account to PayPal...
I can deal with my credit card company, but I'd rather not deal with
PayPal, at least in that regard.

Paypal can have access to an account of mine after they post their
entire net worth as bond.


Simply establish an account at a bank where you have no other accounts --
and keep no more than the minimum balance. Make sure it has no overdraft
protection, and link it nowhere else. Besides, it's useful to have such
an account, along with a verified paypal account, when you finally decide
that hamfests and computerfests are dead and you need to sell some of
your own stuff without getting hosed the way you used to get hosed at the
fests or hosed by the local 'ebay selling service'. Like it or not, it's
too late to fight it -- you may as well join it. I can move more stuff
than I ever moved at a hamfest, make more money doing it, and not have to
drive it there and back and sit out in the sun all day keeping it company
while politely answering questions from idiots.
