They wouldn't let me close my paypal account because I didn't have it tied to a bank account.

Which was the entire bless'ed point.

When I used paypal for ebay purchases, I'd grab a visa gift card and use that for funds.

 Kept the hand of paypal out of my bless'ed bank account.

I had to tie my banking account to my paypal account because I just recently sold something and they wouldn't release the funds otherwise.

i just have my PP linked to my cc too, i don't trust them with my bank account info, then if there's a problem, they can battle it out with Visa.

If I had any money in my bank account, then I might have a problem with it being hacked.  As it is they'd need to put money in to avoid a scolding.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.
