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.
Thanks, I'm doing quite well without it. From what I read, I judge that
I'm actually doing much better without it. The deals are good but the
cheats are outrageous.
