As far as I have reviewed, almost all PTC sites, PTR sites and forums pay the users through Paypal only. So there would be many users who get some money to their Paypal account periodically. If you are among them, how would you deal with the money? Do you leave your money at Paypal to accumulate till you reach a target? Or do you transfer the money to your bank account very often?

Very good use of your image =D.
Anyway when I get cash from the website I use I normally put it directly into my bank account. I don't really like paypal and quite frankly don't trust them very much either, Almost straight away I get a payment straight to bank account. I've heard a few rumors about paypal. I don't receive that many payments so it doesn't really matter if I loose them.
Have a good day =D,

The amount i get in each time is not that much. so i would rather wait for a handsome amount to accumulate first and then transfer it to my bank account.
At the moment i don't even have my bank account associated to my paypal as there is so little balance in it. So later on i would assign one account to paypal.
Another point is each time that your transfer u get charged so best is send it all when it reaches the limit when your billed a minimum for transfering it to your account.

That is right. It is better to withdraw the money after you reach the minimum amount set by Paypal to avoid the transaction fees. And it would be like a saving too. I also do not earn that much through online activities. So I leave my money to accumulate in paypal.

I get money in my account accumulated from page views of my articles. I usually let the money add up to at least ten dollars sometimes even twenty dollars before I transfer it to my bank account. I only do it before when I think that I need some extra money. This is very rare, but sometimes its hard to make ends meet and every dollar counts.

That is true..Sometime each and every dollar may count. And you may need it very badly. But sometimes you will have money more than your requirement. But I think it is a good idea to allow the money to accumulate and use it when you are in an emergency.

I normally would leave the money in my PayPal account and use it just for the little extras I might want to get here and there, but I'm on a very limited income right now and need every penny just to get through the month.
Right now all of my myLot earnings and from other sites is buying groceries. I hope one day soon I can start letting it build up again and use it to buy myself a little treat one in a while.

Hi smilyn,
Yes, I do let my money accumulate in my Paypal and Alertpay accounts before
I request a transfer. I do this to avoid having to pay fees more than once for
small amounts of money. I don't really have much of a target but I just let it go till I fell it has reached a considerable amount.
