First time using Paypal to Recieve Money....

[daveg2000]

Okay, I just started using Paypal to Accept money for ebay
sales... Is there anything I have to do when the money I
was transferred is showing up as a Balance on my
activity screen?  Is there something else I need to do
to push the Balance out to my credit card, or will it
automatically happen?

Doh!

Not sure if you can send a balance to a credit card.

I usually wait till a balance builds up then transfer it to a bank account I've set up specifically for paypal use.

You have to verify the account first, usually by telling paypal the specifics of two small deposits they make.

You can probably leave the balance in paypal and spend it from there without too much difficulty.

you can either just spend it from paypal online, or if you want real money you will have to add your checking account to your paypal and transfer it to there

ah... that suKs

oh well.. its not that much anyways...

they could drop the balance onto a debit card and mail it to you as well.

[Sephroth57]

yeah, that or send you a check. costs a few bucks to do those options

Yeah they charge a flat rate of $1.50 if you want them to send you a check.  If you don't have a bank account on your paypal account then the max you can withdraw each month is $500.  I usually wait till I have $500 in my account before I have them mail me a check that way I get the most out of the $1.50.

I just spend it on something else before it has a chance to gather dust. I hate for my money to get bored.
