This leaves a small amount in your PayPal account after you pay the invoice, and it never holds more than needed. If your account gets hacked, you’re risking a few bucks. If you’re worried about hacking, you’re not alone. Recently all kinds of grand poobahs were hacked. I’ve been with PayPal for years, using this approach, so when I was hacked, it was for $4.99.
