PayPal...a question for you all who are experienced with them..

No, PayPal will not send you a check in the mail. My suggestion is that if you have a friend whom you can totally trust, send them the money through PayPal, and ask them to mail you an international money order in that amount, for whatever currancy you use...but only if you really trust your friend. I wouldn't ask just ANYONE to do this!!!

If you are planning to have Paypal for a long time, then ask them for a debit card. I found it easier than transferring my money from Paypal to our bank. You can go to their website and request a debit card. It works like a regular debit card. It will take around 2 weeks (mine was a week) after you requested it. Just try and it will be easier to get your money this way. I am not familiar if they will send you a check or not but I know it takes 3 or 4 business days to have ur money from paypal to ur bank account if you open one.

Only if you live in the usa, go to your profile, and it might be under options or something like that, you can always right to them and they do answer every question

Sorry they send you a check. If you have a credit card you can use that for verfiying with paypal. I truely hope you find something mabe you can use one of your friends account.

As others have suggested, apply for the free paypal debit card. You can use it as you would use a debit or credit card at any store-- and you can get cash back if the store allows it. For example, you could go to the groery store, buy a 50 cent pack of mints and then get 20 dollars cash back.

they won't pay you without having a confirmed bank account. sorry. maybe it would be in your interest to open a quick savings account with a few bucks in it just to get paid from paypal. you can always close the account after.

Yes I am sure they may do that but is cost like a $1.50 to get a check.Go to your account on paypal then You go to withdraw and then then it will bring up a page that will show you multiple things you can do bad thing though it takes 1-2 weeks to get your check from paypal. It sounds easy enough hope this works for you I went to pay pal and checked it out first so it can be done..good luck and happy posting.

Didn't you know about paypal, that once you add your credit card number, you can withdraw your amount in your bank account. once you open an account in paypal, they will ask you to enter your credit card's number, where you have to put your credit card's number & activate it using activation mail in your email. that's all u need to do to get all your money in your own bank account.

I opened the paypal money market account so that my pennies from posting would earn and grow for me over time. Last time I looked, it was getting 5% interest. The 20 or 30 bucks in there isn't going to make a big difference in my finances so I figure I won't miss it in the money market and it is working for me, not just sitting there. Good luck.

Well, my answer to your question would be 'I am Sorry, i dont know that i cannot answer you' but i have gone through other's answers and find it very usefull.... It is really informative topic....

I don't understand this? I have used Paypal for years, & when I do a withdrawal, is goes straight to my bank account. It does take a few days, as I am in Austeralia, but it has never failed.

Hello! You need to have a confirmed bank account before you can retrieve your funds. Set up a bank account and activate paypal through it. And, once you place the request to transfer your paypal funds to your bank account - it can take 3-4 business days. I know, I have to do this everyday as I run an eBay business. You can also, after you set up bank info) get a paypal debit card which can be used online, in stores, or be used at an ATM machine to withdrawl your money up to $400/day. Paypal charges a $1 fee for using it at an ATM and you also may have fees from that particular machine - but it's worth it if you need your money right away & don't have 3-4 days to wait.
