That said, I am careful with my PayPal and eBay accounts. I have a free checking account at a separate bank that comes with a debit card. I only use that account for eBay and PayPal. There is never more than $5 in the account unless I am about to pay for a transaction. If I receive a payment to that account, I remove the funds immediately.
That is the smart way to go. Free bank accounts are easy to get, so it does not make sense not to do this.
