Probably a stupid question about Paypal - but need your help!

[Crazy for Bags]

Hi. I just got up the courage to purchase from ebay back in January. Now, I'm working up the courage to sell some handbags. Here's my question, when a buyer pays you through paypal, how do you get the money into your personal bank account and out of paypal? Sorry, I couldn't find the answer anywhere and I don't know how it works. Thanks for your help!!

Hi. You can 'withdraw funds' directly to any bank account you have linked to paypal. It varies somewhat as to how long it takes, but mine usually shows up in my account in 2-3 days. Hope that helps!

Thanks! Before I try and put something on ebay, I wanted to make sure I could get the monies and not have to leave it in my paypal account.

And if you have $$$ in paypal, remove it before paying for anything you buy. You want to pay for stuff with a credit card not cash or a bank transfer.

I think you are talking about the $500 a month limit to what you can transfer from Paypal to your account. If so, I believe they lift that if you allow them to verify your bank account...or some such. I remember it happening to me, but don't remember where I found the link. Try contacting them. I think this number will work.

What kind of Paypal account do you have Personal? Premier? Business? They all have different limits and some have fees attached for transactions.
