I keep a separate acct, just to tie to paypal. Then fund and drain it from a second acct, at another bank (no charge for the transfers). But, I prefer purchases to hit the credit card, for the added protection (I have had stores overcharge, although not often, but hey - that's extra points for amazon cash ...).

Our bank charges $10 to wire money and you must know both account numbers. We only done it once with my in laws years ago. I do trust them just not my family. Moneypak only cost $4.95. PayPal cost even more to send money. They take it from the receiver. I get charge 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction. I've tried in the past to get my account downgraded to personal but they wont do it. I no longer sell on ebay. I don't need a Premier account.
I use a Green Dot card by Walmart. I can load it for $3 at any Walmart or via internet for $2.95 from another credit card or via Moneypak. So I have my own Card and it's not tied to any bank account. I think this it's the safest method for us.
