scootterk- While I understand the concern, I think you should be ok. You may get a few 'official' emails from 'PayPal' telling you to do things that aren't legitimate, but as long as you're paying attention and aware (which doesn't seem like a problem), you should be ok.
The only thing I would make sure is that your PayPal password is completely different from any other passwords you use on any other systems (i.e. your email). A lot of the time people's accounts are placed in jeopardy because they use the same password on PayPal as they use on other, less secure sites, those get compromised, then suddenly they can get into your PayPal account.
