THIS IS ALL MOOT, you cant keep/use your paypal account if they say you owe a buyer money so using alternate accounts to keep from being charged back only shuts you down which is usually much more costly than just paying what you owe them, even if it was fraudulent activity. The way around this is too be careful and not be a victim by abiding by the paypal sellers shipping rules and to list your items fairly and accurately so there wont be any buyer claims against you against you in the first place. jco

If you don't have another account at the bank, of course, then you are going to be paying the bank for the privilege. I've found it simpler to not give PayPal access to any bank account. Eventually I'll hit the limit that you are allowed just linking to a credit card (who are more prepared to handle transaction challenges). When that happens I'll take a look at the Google competitor to PayPal. On Fri, Jan 19, 2007 at 09:13:01PM -0400, Angel Ramos wrote: > The best way is to open an account just for paypal.
