When I mentioned "attracting the wrong kind of attention", I actually meant from various government authorities. Transferring $100,000 by PayPal to a different account then getting the money back sure sounds a lot like money laundering ... even if that's not why you're doing it, I wouldn't want to be explaining it to someone in an interrogation room.

The risk of PayPal locking your account is certainly another very real risk.
