Right, but the advantage of keeping a PayPal-only account is that you
don't have your _main_ account frozen during a dispute.  Mortgage
companies don't want to hear that you can't pay them because your
account is entangled.

I use PayPal and have never had a problem, but I don't sell with it. 
I buy.  If I ever get into selling, I'm expecting to open a
small-business account just for PayPal transactions.  It's just
another business expense.
