Okay, this is freaking me out. I never liked Paypal, but I just got it for a business reason. But seriously, I want to not have it anymore---how do you go about this?
Watch Your Paypal! All of my money is GONE! :(

It would be safer. What I did when I had one, was had a pre-paid debit card attached to the paypal. I only put money on the pre-paid if I needed to buy something. When I got hacked they were only able to get my PP $ . I did have to cancel the Pre-paid card though.
This is what I've done also. I don't have my paypal hooked to my bank account either. I take payments through it, but if the payment is over 50.00, I withdraw it and deposit it into my checking account.

Soo..if i take off my acct info... just change it to NO acct number right now (until i can get to the bank) can they still get access to my old bank acct info?...
I ask because..i had one bank acct for pay pay before..then i took that acct off and put it to another bank acct(current acct)...
BUT when i go to paypal..they still have my previous bank acct number listed...(but they dont use it..)*and that bank acct is shut down anyways...but worried about this one, as i dont want to close it down...*

I'm really sorry. This is the reason I never got paypal in the first place, horror stories like this one. I don't even own a debit card, just an ATM card (no, it is specifically ONLY an ATM card).

This bothered me enough that I just closed my PayPal account.

'll make a new one connected to a prepaid card, with an email not connected to me.

I have 2 business accounts. One is connected to my paypal account and one is not. I never keep a paypal balance or a balance more than $5 in the first business account. I pull money from paypal daily as I sell things and as soon as it hits the bank, I transfer it to my other business account that has no paypal, no debit card, no checks no nothing attached to it.
If I need to use the funds, I transfer only what is needed back to the first account.
