I would not open a paypal account. Dealing with the probable
fraud, although it would not ultimately cause financial loss,
would be too much hassle. In general I open as few financial
accounts as possible and try to pick most trusted institutions.

Many vendors allow one-shot Paypal use now so it is not so
important anymore for the purchaser to have an account.
