Just 1 account that usually has a very low (if not zero) balance so that if it was compromised they would get nothing. Each time you buy something on EBay you would just put money in the account. When you sell something on EBay you pull the money out of this account after it transfers. You don’t mean to open up an account each time you need to use paypal or something similar.

I was thinking that ING and most other high yield savings would not be good for buffer account since they put a lengthy hold on new funds (at least a week, if I recall correctly). How easy is it to create another account with ING? Is it instantaneous? Good point about setting up another account with ING.
