I've only received one paypal payment and as soon as it went in I took it out. I don't know how long you're allowed to leave it in there.

Hey there, well it seems that some people have left there money in there paypal accounts for months even a whole year, so I guess we can leave our earnings in our paypal accounts for as long as we like, but yea I usually withdraw my earnings out right away too, lol but this time I might try and save it, maybe, hehe.

Hi there apples99 I think the longest I have left any money in my paypal account is a month, which is last months payment. I am saving it to get something I want off the internet. I must have to start a discussion about the item because I don't know if it is any good and don't want to buy one if it's not especially if I have worked hard to get the money for it and it turns out to be a load of rubbish!!

I have had a PayPal account since 2002. I have always had at least something in there. My money never really stays in there very long. I am always spending it on something. I have a PayPal debit card, so I have access to my PayPal funds whenever I want.

I see how much dose it cost to get one of those paypal debit cards, because I was thinking of getting one?

I think the longest amount of time I left my money in paypal account is about 4-5 months a year back. Usually a year back, I don't use to withdraw money from paypal account to my bank account. I use to buy some software products are other similar stuffs that interests me online using the funds I have in my paypal account. But, from earlier this year, I started to withdraw money from paypal to my bank account and the longest amount of time I left money there is upto 5 months.

You can have it there as long as you want, they're not going to do anything about it. I do not transfer money to my bank or anything, I use it for eBay, so it is always there. I've had at least a few cents there ever since I started MyLot in September. It fluctuates, but I always have something.
