Yeah agreed - not a strong business plan if this is a regular thing.
Also the strength of the link I believe depends whether your sending it as a 'personal payment' therefore avoiding fees - if you are doing this PayPal are much more likely to investigate the account if this is a regular occurance.
The amount you send is also significant - if you buy something from yourself for £10 it will attract a lot less attention than something for £1,000 - and you have fees to take into account. Gifts are suicide
