The thing is, i'm not going to use that 2nd bank account for anything OTHER than to verify my 2nd paypal account and to withdraw funds. I do all my banking on the primary bank account which is now frozen in my limited account.
Should i just open a 2nd account with my current bank or can i open one up at say PC?

Opening on account is easiest online if you bank that way; otherwise you have to go into the branch ... the downfall is that you now have another bank fee to pay for.
Personally, I like having a separate account that is used only for PayPal purposes ... I will not attach my "regular" account to anything outside the banks system ... same for credit card ... I have a no fee VISA that has a very small credit limit that I use solely to fund PayPal ... those two things significantly limit my exposure to any problems that may stem from PayPal.
Good luck with that.
