    I keep what I earn, Then I use my paypal debit card to take out or I just transfer it straight to my bank where it is safer. I never kept any amount higher than $400 in my paypal because you never know what they can pull, heard a lot of stories, but nothing like this ever happened to me.

    I keep whatever I earn, and do a monthly withdrawal OR withdraw when it gets high enough that the fees they screw you out of doesn't really matter.

    Recently withdrew my highest ever - $2000.00 :)

    On average each month I have around $100-$200 in paypal. I buy everything I can through it as it's easier to keep records.

    Yes, specially if you're not rich enough to undertake legal actions or if your paypal balance is not large enough to justify those actions.

    way you guys make it sound is that paypal ban people for a little extra cash lol for some reason i dont think they do ;) they limit account when a "EXTREME" dispute has been taken against you or a dispute not serious say from $100 - $200 your account wont be limited unless you take it further to the extreme.

    I'm broke anyways, I have $15 in my PayPal because that's all I've made thus far. I hate these companies that send me payment via check.

    Unless you've done something on PayPal to cause them to take measures and limit your account, they could care less about taking your money for their own.
