How Long Can You Leave Your Funds?

Hi Zed, Thanks for asking this question as this has been bugging me for days too. I have accumulated my online earnings at Paypal and I intend to leave it there while I'm still contemplating on what to spend it with. I want to set it aside for some Christmas shopping (not much but will help to buy some presents). I'll closely watch this discussion as I know the answers here will be valuable not only to you and me but also to those who have the same concern. Good question, I hope you (and I) get good answers.

Hi zed k4.I had this question recently answered by a paypal staff member and she told me that we can keep this for as much time as we want.However, you can also find it out for yourself if you just go to the 'help' section and ask this question yourself.She told me thta htere was no time specified within which we ought to withdraw and that we can keep it as long as we want.

I just requested a check from paypal, I need to pay the vet something and this is the only spare $$ I have - I'm getting the kittens fixed (well, they are more teenagers now) so they can then move on to the barn and be happy away from humans.

There is no fixed time limit on retaining your money in paypal. but its your duty to keep track of what heppens in your account and take corrective steps. money in paypal do not earn you any interest. if the same is in your bank, it earns you some interest, depending on which country you are. in my country i earn about 3% per annum. also it is wiser to withdraw a bigger amount to your bank account to save on service fee.

Hi Zed, I left mine sat there all this time as every time I tried to transfer it there were yet more stupid proceedures to follow which involved giving the amount of two small amounts they had put into the bank on a month the bank statement didn't arrive. I decided once and for all to transfer it this week when another payment hit only to find I had to redo all security things as someone had tried to access my paypal account, so I'd say move it as quick as you can.

one day...lol

looks like you got your answer about how long you can leave it in there lol. you can also link your bank account to your paypal and transferr it to your real account there is a small fee for this sometimes. however transferring from your bank to paypal is free. it also makes it easier to make purchases cause you only need to know how much your bank account balance is cause paypal will do the transfer automatically.

They have a certain account at paypal that does pay you interest on the money you have there! I've been with them for 4 yrs, and I keep a certain amount of money in there , and it has earned interest! It works just like a bank! More and more places are starting to use paypal also, so that opens up a large avenue of business for them! There is always going to be hackers around no matter where you bank, you just have to take precautions!

There is no time limit in paypal account i usually withdraw my funds when my paypal account reaches 20$.You can leave your money in paypal for long time so dont worry about it.

Hi zed, I would think that paypal account is like a current account in a bank which earns no interest.It is more like a mediatory beyween the payers and the payee. I am sure that very few people hoard money in paypal account. In my case I just wait for the minimum amount to be accumalated ,where I dont need to pay any charges that is 140 dollars and then get it transferred to my bank account....all the best and happy new year to you

Hi Zed, with the depreciation of US Dollars, I prefer to keep the money in Paypal until the exchange rate is slightly better. There is no time limit in keeping the money in paypal. However, you have to bear in mind that security is a problem. I try to keep the paypal password different from all the other passwords, and I use the onscreen keyboard to type the keywords. The problem is that sometimes I can't even remember my own password!

Hello friend, I just ask this question to one mylotters when he posted a topic,"suspended paypal account due to maximum transaction" So,i was thinking what would happen with my earning which i never had touch before becoz i was also thinking to save more of my earning before withdrawing it.(for a better purpose) I read some responses and it's good to know we can leave it there sleeping,it's nice then thu it won't gain ny interests. Thanks for this discussion,have a great weekend

there were times i left my money in my paypal for months and only moved it whn i felt like it... it wont go away. i trust PP.

I have been wanting to know this for a while so thanks for asking. I only have a few dollars in my Paypal right now because I spend it on Ebay. I am afraid to just let my money sleep in there so I try to make use of it and buy stuff. I am afraid to give out my debit card information so I just save my money in there or use them on online shopping.

I don't think there's a time limit for saving funds on paypal. Its like a safe bank account where you can keep your money until the day you want to withdraw it. I have tried it when i was new 3 years ago. I have save my online money there until it accumulates $100. Its really good to know that it was fine. So don't worry, you can leave or save your online earnings until your ready to withdraw it.

AS far as I understand Paypal's ideas you can leave the money in your account. However I say set up a savings account and collect the interest if you have no need for the money that is in your paypal account. I will send you a message about a online account that I am aware of that has some great rates. That is what I do with my money if I feel the need to save it. I will be sending the pm here in a little bit and I hope that I can help you as well as you helping me for signing up for the program. Take care and happy mylotting to you.

Hi zed! I don't think there is a time limit on how long you can leave it in there. If I want it, I just have it sent to my bank account. I don't guess there is any time that I specify for leaving it. I do leave a little in there all the time though.

you can leave it for ever,only you have to sige in your account frequently!
