That wont do you any good because if paypal finally rules that you owe the seller a refund ( and that is only what we are talking about here ), paypal will just shut your account down and wont let you open another one UNTIL YOU PAY the buyers claim. Your bank account(s) has(have) nothing to do with it really unlees you are willing to never use paypal again and just let them shut you down permanently. jco

Do not use your personal account for anything related to paypal. If something like that happens then there will be no money in the account and you can go ahead and try to fix the problem with paypal, meanwhile your real account is ok.
