Account where tho? Any money you get goes into ya paypal account and then you transfer it directly to ya own bank account.
Open up a seperate savings or current account and use that just for Ebay, thats what i have done. Theres never more than Ł 50 in there, anything else gets transferred into my own bamk account.

It's probably as safe as your own bank, everything is hackable but the chances of it happening are really remote and most banks and credit cards have fraud protection of some sort.
I wouldn't worry

EBAY is very safe and so is paypal. i have had over Ł700 sat in that and never had a problem. You WILL however get fake emails pretending to be from paypal and ebay asking you to log in as your account has been breached etc.
take no notice of these and you will be fine.

You can guarentee you will get an emaill every week saying you need to re-enter your account details. But these are all scams and nothing to do with Ebay at all.
The only thing I have ever worried about is all them dodgy sellers/buyer.
Feed back system is a good idea though

When you first register, use a fairly long alpha-numeric password. Try to think of one in advance. Not a silly short one with a name , they are easier to hack ; )
Use a different long one for Paypal too.

Hi babe ..
No, not really ... Everyone has learnt that the ones to fear most, are the on the web somewhere, trying to hack into accounts/Paypal, email address books, and the like!
Think you are safe writing things down like that .. Everyone does it! Just store the numbers in such a way it's not obvious what they are.
