PayPal Question

Hi carolbee, I have as much as $150 at pay pal and have not got it transferred to my bank account. Would it be any problem in the long run?

I receive payments from clients on my paypal account, at any given time I could have several hundred dollars in there and I have never had a problem with money missing or taken. I have had my account for many years and have used it for everything

I have left money in my Paypal account before. I do not think it was in there for longer than a month though. I am afraid to leave my money online because of the hackers stealing it at random from people.

I learned a long time ago that until it's in my bank account anything can happen to it. So, when I get money in PayPal, I pull it out right away. Better to do that then risk it "disappearing". [b]~~I AM WHO I AM~~ **STANDING STRONG IN MY BELIEFS**[/b]

Yes, that's a good idea! And what I do, is I only keep a small amount of money in my paypal account, just enough to buy something just in case I need to, but not enough to consider it a big loss! I signed up for the paypal account, that pays interest on the money you have there, so for the last 3 yrs, I have been making interest on the money I have in there! I occasionally use my paypal account, especially for e-bay, and various other places I shop! I've never had any problems with them, but like I said, if I did, it would only be a small loss!

I think it is..I leave mine in there until there's a good amount then transfer...I did use my paypal to buy a college book for my DIL for school and just used what I had in my account....and all went well.

Hi Carolbee I have done this now for 5 years and have never had a Problem Paypal is very secure the only thing you need to know is if you ever get an Email from "Paypal" stating you are to send them your Details do not respond send it to spoof Paypal as they will never ask you for anything like that But yes I will say it is quite secure

I don't leave much in either. I suppose it's as safe as anything online, but I usually need the money, so it doesn't say in for long. This will be interesting to find out what other people say.

I think .. that paypal dont terminate account .. so your money will be safe.. and this money is used to buy some online item.. through shopping.. and if you not required .. then you must withdrawal.. your money....

So far I have no problems with Paypal. I have some money in there for a few months already, but at some point I have this feeling that what if one day I wake up only to find my accounts balance is zero! Anyway, the reason why I let the money in there because I don't want to withdraw many times as they will deduct $5 for the withdrawal fees.

Yes ,it is safe to leave money in you PayPal account,I usually transelate if to otherone,then he pay me the dollar,I never transelate it from the bank.

I have left money in paypal before and it is ok. I only use it when I need money for something. I am trying to make money so I can buy a few gifts for my husband for Christmas. I am not sure of that many sites that take personal checks. I know paypal used to take money orders for payments, but now most do not. It will be fine. Paypal is very safe.

i think paypal is a safe place as they cannot terminate our account.

dude paypal is the safest place for online buying
