Those unconfirmed addresses are a real issue--I never ship to one unless I know the buyer.
As far as structuring your accounts to avoid Paypal rips, set up a savings account at the bank where your checking account is located and sweep the money from checking to savings as soon as it hits. That way, there is never a balance available for Paypal to steal.
