I've had a PayPal account for over three years and have had absolutely no
problem with it and my checking account is registered as a part of my
account in addition to one credit card number. I have gotten several spoof
emails about my PayPal account, but those were phishing emails that did not
come from PayPal. I did forward them to PayPal for follow up in hopes that
those Phishing guys might be caught.
If your buying something through PayPal, there is no fee, but there are
seller's fees.
I also want to mention that I've also gotten phishing emails supposedly from
EBay and the Philadelphia Credit union. The one from the credit union was
really scary. I knew that it was a spoof because I don't have an account
there, but they gave a telephone number which was a Lansing Michigan phone
number (517) area code, that had me talking to an automated voice male
system. If I had held one of their accounts, I might have been suckered in
by that one. I did give that phone number to our Michigan State Police.

no minimum account balance that I know of, I guess they're safe. The only
thing I don't like about them is they require a bank account in order to use
them after you spend so much with them through a credit card, it's different
every time some one I know signs up, but for me it was after I spend a total
of $2000 with them I'll have to register a bank account, my mother it was
like $500. I only have 1 bank account and there's no way in you know where,
they're getting that info. They used to have a lot of problems in the past
with closing out accounts and withholding the money in that account with
them, and a few other things you can read about if you search the net, but
since Ebay bought them out 2 or 3 years ago, I don't know of anyone who's
had any issues but I will never trust them or any other web site with bank
account info.
