You *can* be really screwed by Paypal (and ebay who owns PP) sometimes. Paypal has screwed some account holders to the tune of thousands of $$ in some cases, has arbitrarily closed accounts and has refused to discuss anything with with account holders.
It's been my experience that if you want to resolve an issue with ebay or Paypal, you'd be better off talking to a brick wall or going to another planet. I wouldn't use a bill-me-later plan.
This website was created about 8 years ago when ebay underwent their major overhaul and change under the new CEO John Donahoe. Lots of interesting threads on Preypal and ebay. powersellersunite.com
I've been using ebay for 15 or so years but avoid buying anything there now unless it is significantly cheaper or is hard to find. The cost of many items is much higher than you will find elsewhere. Somebody has to pay for the high ebay and paypal fees. It's not a good place for small time sellers anymore. I don't know if they still do it, but for a while, new sellers had to ship an item before they got paid.
We have a bank account and CC linked to Paypal and have never had a single problem. DW is an accountant though and frequently checks all of our banking online.
