PayPal will (for $2) mail you a check. And while they do not allow you to remove the last bank account attached to your account, you can just close that bank account. I did that. I sweep from PayPal by requesting a check. I wish them luck stealing from me. They have NO access to any valid bank accounts of mine.
This is probably a smart approach, although there may be a ToS stipulation about requiring active bank/debit information which could lead to account disruptions if they notice.
There are non-transactional checks to validate the active status of debit cards and bank accounts. You would never know -- there is no reporting requirement or mechanism.
If PayPal cares, they can do these things. If you move serious money through them, they should probably care.
