#will Nintendo ban you for abusing PayPal?

No, it's not a problem.
So you can not pay for games by using a PayPal account with no valid payment method?
Paypal itself is a valid payment method
But you can have a PayPal account with no current card on file.... Like you close the bank account or let the card on file expire.....
If you say it like that, credit card is the same. You can put on a credit card, then close it later, or the card expire. Same situation.
The way it works is when you first put on your payment option, regardless if it's a credit card or paypal account, they will do a payment check. A small amount of $0.1 or so will be deduct. If the transaction is successful, they will confirm the payment option to be working and refund you that small amount.
After that, your payment option will be good to go.
So the answer to the original question is that they will not allow the purchase and this it isn't likely to lead to a ban since the purchase wouldn't happen
