On: Ask HN: Experiences with PayPal? Would you recommend or kill it with fire?

Been using it for BitBuffet.com. Right now, we're not looking at enough volume to warrant the difficulty in switching over. Unless you are looking at 2k+ a month, its almost easier to just stick with PayPal.

My rule #1 with PayPal: drain it weekly or after $200 bucks accumulates.

There's a hidden feature called "Auto Sweep" that will auto drain your PayPal account nightly to your bank. You have to have a Premier or Business Account, and you have to call support to have them enable it. The manager of the operator who answers your call knows about it.

I go one step further: I transfer most of the money in the PayPal bank account to another account that they don't have access to regularly.

I'm pretty sure they don't have the ability to drain your bank account for a dispute, but I could be incorrect.
