I use my paypal debit card for basically ALL my online shopping, and if I get too much money in there, I just start tapping mac...I use it basically for everything since I never transfer the money into my bank account. We generally only run about 3k a month through paypal, everything else goes through the regular merchant account.
Unlike a lot of people I have never had a horror story in my 2 years of having paypal, so I don't have a problem keeping around 1,000 in there at most times, but I usually get girlie and buy myself something =) so there is not usually more than that in there.
Go for it
