I believe it's pretty safe. A person would have to hack into your PayPal account to move money. I, personally, have not heard of that happening (although I'm sure it has), so I don't think it's so common.
Back to PayPal. There isn't much there, just ignore any emails you get from 'them', as most of 'them' are fake and from scammers trying to get info from you.
If you look into any of the linked accounts be it from PayPay or anyone else you'll see not only can they deposit money but they can withdraw too WITHOUT NOTIFYING YOU. We use a secondary account and only keep a few hundred in it just for PayPal. If we want to make a bigger purchase then we'll transfer funds in just for that item.

Happened to me, through Ebay. And PP is a pain in the a$$ to deal with to get the money back. I called them as soon as I got the email confirmation that I had used it to pay for something, 2 hours after the transaction time stamp. They said no problem, and it would be stopped.
Well, four hours later, I get an email saying that the transaction had been approved (by who, I have no idea), and the transfer was complete. Called them back, they said it would now take 4-6 weeks to get the money back. Yeah fuggin right.
Went down to my bank and had the money back in within 24 hrs, with a promise that if I was overdrawn during those 24hrs because of this, they would take care of it.
So, if you plan on doing this, better hope your bank has good customer service. Commerce Bank (now TD Bank) sure does.
