For security reasons, it's just a very bad idea to link any of your online accounts together.
Period. This applies not just to ebay & paypal, but Twitter, Facebook, etc.
Ebay has been hacked into before. The next time ebay is hacked - and there will be most
definitely be a next time - all your accounts linked to it are automatically accessible
to the hackers. Keep that in mind.
