Yup, that's the best way.

My only personal beef with PayPal so far is how they strongarm you into providing lots of financial information, ie bank accounts and credit cards, to 'verify' yourself. I recently got an email from them - very similar to the scam ones(!) telling me that my credit card hard almost expired. The email was legit, but I stopped using this credit card a year or so ago, and had replaced it with another, yet they kept the information on file, meaning they fully intended to charge against it if need be.
