I had a savings account that was linked to Paypal at the same bank as my checking account. When I wanted to buy something with Paypal I would transfer the money from checking account to the savings account. (I usually kept $100 in the savings account to make small PP purchases easier, so the most they could steal was $100). When I sold something on Paypal I transferred the money from PP to the savings account, then to my checking account.
Things may have changed since I had much to do with PP/eBay. I don't know how Paypal can keep you from moving your own money within accounts at your own bank, but it wouldn't surprise me if the bastages figured out a way to do it.
