I was inspired from a couple of videos for my "flows"/management.
This speaks about keeping 7 accounts: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=auzLhKvsxnQ
There is a Tom Ferry (real estate guy but has some sound tips) also has on a video a VERY good flow diagram on how to distribute money in different buckets/accounts. Apologies but I couldn't find it on my phone.
I was "inspired" by the above and once I organized my accounts/flows and stopped using "single account for all" my life became so much simpler. And of course PayPal wallet is not a permanent parking space for £€¥$.

The loss of money can be small compared to loss of business.
It is an interesting angle to try a civil suit for.
Edit: I'm replying to a really low odds scenario, where:
1. You auto sweep all money out of paypal
2. You regularly empty the checking account it sends to
You have at risk maybe $1000-$2000 in the chequing + less than $100 in fees.
For something vanishingly unlikely to happen. The risk seems rather low compared to the exposure.
I mostly use stripe and have PayPal as a backup. Never had a problem with either, and if I did have a problem with one the amounts are fairly low. (Probably more of an amount risk with stripe as they take longer to sweep out the money. But I don't think they freeze as often)
