That gives some measure of protection on how they handle your funds, but holy shit I would not keep any money in a PayPal account for any longer than absolutely necessary. I use it as a convenient intermediary between my actual card and sellers, no more than that.

PayPal is a class corpo parasite. They tax us
What to expect from the Musky one and the Vampire?
PayPal is not a bank. Your funds are NOT FDIC insured, no matter what their docs say.

Yep, happened to me. They’re evil. They own Venmo too btw.
So glad that eBay (as greedy as they are) started handling transactions instead of everyone using PayPal.
