The problem is that you can never be 100% safe so maybe it would be wise not to let your balance climb too high without withdrawing...
That's true, but it kinda sucks if you work with dollars and your bank account is in euro. Often you'll need to reuse that money in dollars, so withdrawing and depositing means you're giving away money to Paypal and their ridiculous (well, all payments procesors have them) currency exchange fees.
And you all know that Paypal won't let you use a bank account in USD unless you have an account in the States. Which is something that's not exactly easy to do if you don't live there.
