I recently opened a paypal account because some of survey sites and other sites put your earnings into your paypal account. Well I got 30 dollars in my paypal from a survey that I did. Well i still haven't added my bank information (which i need to). So my question is when i do put my information in how long is it til I receive the money. Is it a matter of days? a matter of hours? I don't do online banking with my checking account, so I would never know when it was received. Mine is seperate than my husbands (he does do his banking online). I want my money to go into my account but I want to know when it is in so I can get access to it. One thing I wished they would do is I have a prepaid visa card that I wish i could put my money in there. Is that possible? I know quite a few people have paypal so any information would be helpful. Thanks all!

When you add your bank information they will deposit some money into your bank account in 2 increments. You will then have to verify it. That step might take a week to 10 days but not positive.
After your bank account has been verified you will be able to transfer funds into your bank account. I never check to see how fast it is deposited into my bank account so I can't give you an exact time from experience. However the Paypal website says it takes 3 to 5 business days. Which means 3-10 days. Possibly 2 weeks.
You can get a Paypal debit card so you don't have to transfer to your bank account.
They will also pay you interest on your monthly balance.

I have used paypal for several years without a problem & thats having my cc in it but I came across this from a friend in which they PAY YOU to use their service and also PAY YOU FOR ANYONE YOU BRING THERE. They put $25.00 into my account. I don't know if I'm supposed to do this or not as I'm new. Is is ok to put links here? Let me know & I'll put the link on here. Sry. Forgot.

I added you as a friend. That way you could private message me the link. Just in case. Then you can message me the link.
