You can definitely leave it in your PayPal account to use for eBay purchases in the future. We had some large sums of money in our PayPal account a while back, so I requested the PayPal debit card. It's free, and you can use it like a debit or ATM card and it draws the money straight from your PayPal account. If you go all the way to the bottom of the page after you log into PP, you'll see a menu that runs across the bottom of the screen. Click on ATM/Debit Card, and you can request a card to be sent to you.
