Got my first paypal payment for work today.  Done other stuff with it before but this was the first time I used it as a payment option in my home improvement business

Just be careful. If paypal decide that they think something fishy is up with your account, they will freeze it and be complete assholes about it.

And what they call fishy, you call normal shit.

Oh you won't know when they will strike, it's random and makes no sense. Just make sure you don't leave a lot of money in there or something.

As soon as it goes in it comes out It's attached to a bank account that I only keep $50 in to cover banking fees the rest goes in my business account

Yeah, they labelled some transaction as suspicious and froze her account and they wouldn't budge. She had to wait like 180 days to get her money and after that they refused to do business with her ever again. You really have no say in it and it means it's next to impossible to buy anything off the net without making fake accounts and the such.

Paypal have too much power and are a monopoly. You don't even have to do anything to piss them off. They make a mistake and it's tough shit for you. They don't give a fuck.

Sometimes people will file a claim claiming they never got their item just so they get their money back and they keep the item.
