Welcome back to PayPal

A Paypal account is a requirement to be able to receive payments from myLot. When I signed up again to myLot I was apprehensive about not having a Paypal account. So today, I decided at last to give it a try and open an account there but information popped-up that I already have an existing account. I was told to log-in but I have completely forgotten what my password is. Paypal helped me in very easy process to recover my account. How was your Paypal experience?

I was back to mylot after 7 years last year and in that period my paypal account was also dormant but it came active as soon as my mylot payment was due. I only had to change my Bank account in India which was connected with my paypal account as it had been discontinued. Paypal remitted the amount to the non existing account which they promptly returned. Paypal then send the money to me by check which was paid in full in my Indian bank. All my subsequent payments were remitted to my new accounted connected with them subsequently.

@gamayngbaki Yes it was appreciable on part of Paypal to remit my money by check without deducting any commission when the money was returned unclaimed by my old bank.

@msdivkar This the reason why I admire Paypal so much. They are very responsible with our money. Banks don't send our money back in case they send it to another account in contrast Paypal does it.

I have had a PayPal account for at least 16 years now and I've never had any real problems with it. I have heard that their Help system is very good but I don't recall any time I've had to use it!

@gamayngbaki PayPal has been around since about 2002, I believe.

My Paypal account is already 10 years old. That was the first thing that I set up and verified when I decided to explore online working. But currently I am not using it regularly because I decided to switch to cryptocurrency. But I still have my account and I have no problem with my account.

@ARIES1973 I suspect mine is already that old also. When I finally opened it it's like a blast from the past!

@thelme55 That's nice! I've had mine for a long time now but unlike yours it's been dormant. What's funny about it is that when I opened it I still have money there!

My PayPal experience has been smooth so far, only thing is that they convert the dollars to local currency not at the latest conversion rate. And their service charges are a bit high.

@Sojourn Thank you very much for the information about Paypal. I just hope their charges won't be too high for my country.

@gamayngbaki I think the situation is going to change this year. Someone shared weeks ago on how Paypal change their policy. Something about inactivity.

@prinzcy Paypal earned my respect and admiration because while my account remained dormant for how many years they did not apply any deductions on it at all. The amount remained the same.

I have been using PayPal for years and for the most part their service has been very good. There was only one incident where my PayPal account was compromised, and they were able to help me recover and secure my account. I sell stuff on eBay and I also like online shopping. I always use PayPal as it is very easy to file a dispute and settle the issue with them in case something goes wrong with the transaction.

@Janet357 I'm glad too and I'm glad your account is okay! What's even more amazing is that they don't touch our money left in our accounts even if it lays dormant for decades. If Paypal were a normal or a traditional bank there won't be any money left at all due to so many deductions.

I made PayPal account few months ago after I decided to earning money online. But I don't have any experience about withdraw yet, because I still haven't reached minimum amount. I tried to contact their customer service once, they are nice and answer my question quickly. The only problem maybe the fee. They take $1.01 if I withdraw under $120. But free of charge if I withdraw more than $120 (I read from few site). $120 is a big amount for me
