In the past four or five months, the value of USD against our currency is going on decreasing. I have more than $300.00 in my PayPal account. I was about to with draw the amount from Pay Pal few months back. As the dollar value seems little less than the normal, I postponed the withdrawal and decided to do it once the dollar value is increase. But everyday, its going on decreasing and hence if I withdraw the amount I will get less. Is there any sign of increase in the dollar value.As it depends the USA economics,politics etc., you may have better idea about this. If it is about to decrease further,I think I should withdraw it at least now to reduce the loss..What will happen to the USD in near future with reference to the other currencies?

Last I checked, the conversion rate for my currency was 1.39 USD. This has decreased from the normal 1.41+ and etc. I think it's best to draw, lest the amount decreases even more..

Same here also. Every day it is going on decreasing in its value.Even after so many reformations, the US Government not yet recovered from the recession. If I with draw right now, the loss will be more and I feel now it is better to wait for few months. I hope the US dollar will increase in its value very soon.This has happened few years back and the value went even less than now.But then, they regained the economic situation sooner. Likewise, I hope they will get back to the normal very soon and I wish for that.Else loss will be more for me. This is the loss to all of the on line earners, I think.Thanks for your response.

If you hardly needed money, maybe you can withdrawn now.. But, if you don't, just wait until $ value increasing again. By the way you have $300 in your paypal account... Wow, that's great! Where did you get it?? I don't have a single $ yet right now, neither in my paypal and alertpay...lmao anyway, just make rite decision for you! Good luck!

Actually I expected the dollar value to increase more when I decided to withdraw it ,few months back when it was more than the present value. But the happening is not as per my wish and value is going on down.Also it seems that the value is not even stop from declining further. If I get any info about the increase in its value even after two or three years,I will wait for that. But nothing is understandable in this and as it depends on various factors, no one can say about this. Now I have decided to use the balance to upgrade my wordlinx account for life time. It will cost $59.00 and at least by doing so, we can earn little more in the site.Thanks for your participation in this discussion.

I agree with Astonysh. The dollar will continue to fall. There is too much instability in global markets. There has been discussion in the UN about a one world currency. Of course, that's quite a ways off in the future, but, at some point the dollar will no longer be the global currency of "choice". If it does happen to gain some strength, it will be short-lived. I'm not an expert or anything. I just happen to spend some time reading up on the subject. I'm an American but I happen to be living in Argentina right now. I think Argentina may well be one of the few remaining countries in the world that actually keeps the dollar up! lol. Good for people with dollars, bad for Argentines. The exchange here has been hovering at about 4 to 1. Meaning 1 US dollar gives you 4 Argentine pesos. There are worthwhile investments you could make so as to, at least, preserve what you've got. Personally, I wouldn't be waiting or relying on an increased value of the dollar. MHO

I don't think the US Government will agree to the "one currency" for various reasons.If they do so, every one will be benefited. Most of the people used to thought that the new President will be the better to bring the country to the god stat.But it seems the happenings are entirely in contrast to that. I feel very sad on hearing from you that the dollar value will continue to fall. But I wish the value to stop at certain level at least though it is not increasing.If we make some online purchase,we may get some benefit with our funds. But I don't anything to purchase on line and the only thing I can do is upgrading my worldlinx account worth $59.00. I will do it now itself as we can earn more if we do so.Thanks for the guidance and the participation in this discussion.

I am from India only.When I tried to withdraw the fund few months back, it was Rs49.80 (not sure about the exact conversion). I believed this value to increase.But unfortunately, it is going down continuously.Now its only Rs.46.00+ and it may even go down. If I withdraw this money now, I will be loosing at least Rs1500.00 than the normal. I hope the situation will become normal very soon.Else it may take few months more. I have now decided to wait for some more months for the withdrawal of my balance. I don't like to loose my hard earned money.Thanks for your participation.

Thanks for the hopeful information. If it is about to increase in the near feature, then i can wait for few months to withdraw my account balance. Within in the two months, the value of the US Dollar has reduced to about 10%-15% when compared to the value of Indian currency.I did not expect such a fall in its value. If I was able to know this fact, I could have got my paypal account into the bank account. But now, it is unfair situation to withdraw the account balance as it will lead to the additional loss. I wish the value should not go down further , even if it is not increasing. I hope the US economy will regain its actual stat very soon and expect that also.Thanks for your participation.

This is not very serious problem with us dollar. In fact last year, it did go down a lot but then again it came back to its strength. So I do not think that you should withdraw your money through paypal right now. I think tha if you can wait for few weeks only, you will get better value for your money as Dollar will have much better value then. US economy is now in much better shape and it has come out of that depression and so surely Dollar will become much stronger in due course of time. So it would be better to wait for few weeks.

The same problem here also. I just went to your profile to see if you are from India. I have around fifty dollars in my Paypal. I have saved the money to buy gifts for my family on Christmas. It seems the ruppee value against dollar is reducing and I am unable to withdraw the money. I have one more month to wait, but at least I need the money by first week of December.

I had a idea of withdrawing the fund when it was Rs.49.80. But I expected it to increase more than fifty rupees.But the happenings became entirely different now. Still I have the hope of increasing . But it may take some time. I am going to wait till it reach at least Rs 48.00+.If it reaches this much.,I will immediately try to get my amount without considering the further hike.If the situation turns again as like now, I can tolerate the disappointment. Hope and I wish for that.Thanks for your response.

As long as the fools in Washington, D.C. think printing money with nothing to back it up is the right thing to do, our currency will lose its value. China, who has been buying our debt, has decided it will no longer do so, but they are pushing to have THEIR currency take the place of the dollar as the national currency. Take your money out NOW or risk losing it all. Whether you take it out or not, however, it will eventually be worthless at the rate we are going. In a normal year in the past, our government printed a few billion dollars, mostly to replace money already in circulation and very little for new money. We have in the past year printed TRILLIONS of dollars to make everything better. It is not working. Our currency is being downgraded day by day because if we do not have anything to back up the money we print, it is worthless.

I don't think that they will continue to print the bills without considering the economic stat of the country. But it seems they are doing so and that's why the value is going on decreasing against the currencies of other nations.If they concentrate only on the issues of the country and try to bring it to the actual economic stat as like the past, then can do it successfully. But they are only concentrating the issues of other nations to keep their domination over the others.This is the next thing and can be looked after once they regain their stat. I hope the new President will do better to the developement of the economy to his best. Thanks for your participation in this discussion and I have decided to wait for few more months. I have the strong belief on them in this.

If the manufacturers are about to buy the raw material from the other countries, they need to pay, what the other countries or supplier are asking..So the have to pay more to produce the products..Then the overall manufacturing cost will increase and the manufactures don't have any option to reduce the price of the products now..Then how will they sell at the old price of the products? But to maintain their business, they can do it for a while..But they can never continue this. If they do so, they will be in loss, in turn the total economy will be affected..Thanks for your participation and clear explanations .

I think our currency versus dollar will be increase if the current president is not cover up the real situation in the country. The deficit of the government will likely to manipulate also the situation and says that economy is strong when in fact the truth is not...It is better if your not withdraw yet because there is a time it will increase again due to ended recession in the United State of America..

We are depending on the dollar rate, my friend. We hope that will be increase a little for us middleman. That is not a problem with those rich people but with us. There is a big difference. And I think one of the reason behind the low rate of dollar exchange is that government manipulated it. Because they want our country being pretty to some other nation or to our countrymen. To cover up that country is in good condition and showing to the public that our country is progressive...

Yes.I have decided not to withdraw it for the time being and to wait for few more months . I hope the situation will be normal in the future, even if take few months or years. I feel the reason for this situation is the higher labor cost in US for everything.In the past they used to get their work completed at the lowest cost with the help of other nations.Now as they have restricted this, they need to pay more for their works. But by doing so, they are keeping their money withing their country. The failure may be due to the improper management of the past governments also. I hope and wish for the speedy regain of their normal economic status.Thanks for your response to this discussion.

I have notice that. The US dollar is getting weaker with my currency. If it keeps going then it may not be worth keeping up with online earning sites. But still, for what I am doing, it is almost money for nothing, even though the pay is not high at all. I suppose, if the american dollar becomes weaker, then it would be a good idea for austrailans to travel over to america.

If it is going on decreasing, then it may be worth making some purchase from the online US sites.Is it not? But I have nothing to buy from the online sites and also I don't like to make on line trade as there are more possibilities for us for getting cheated. The US government has taken many steps to prevent this and still they find difficult to see any improvement. It is the loss of all of the online earners as all of the sites are paying us with USD only. But this is much profit for the online sites as they need not spend more for the payments. Hope the situation will become normal very soon.Thanks for your response.

hello hmrk, This last month, the amount that i have withdrawn is actually eighteen dollars and it left me with almost little in the Philippine peso conversion. i would have want it to remain in paypal how ever, the problem is that i need to save it in my bank and i can't just let it stay since my bank balance is so small and little.well, the advantage there is that if you're gonna buy or purchase something, it's going to be a lot lower than before.

As you have mentioned , making some purchase will be much profitable in this time. But I don't have anything to purchase and also I don't want to buy some thing as the cost is low. It should be a essential one , if we want to buy..I feel this is not the time for withdrawing our money from the Pay pal account. Even if the value is not increasing in the near feature, there are lot of possibilities for the dollar to increase in its value in the future. I am going to wait till then.Else I have to loose a lot of my hard earned money and I don't like to loose that.Thanks for your kind participation in this discussion.

Hi hmrk, it depends upon how long u can postpone the usage. U can consider bringing it down to ur country and keeping it in gold. The effect would be same as u holding it and waiting for it to rise again about an year and a half later. But there is some peace of mind when u know u already have controlled any possibility of further reduction in values, isn't it? BTW - disclaimer - I am no expert in forex trade. U r advised to consult better consultants. :)

Though I don't have any immediate need to withdraw the fund, I wanted to withdraw it as the value of dollar is going on down.But this amount can not be used to invest in gold as this is insufficient to make the reasonable investment.I am also not having any experience with forex trading also to invest in that. This is better earning opportunity for those who have better experience.I have decided to hold the fund in my paypal account itself as you most of the members are advising.I don't like to loose much from the hard earned money.Thanks for the participation in this discussion and for the suggestion.

A lot of people would like to know the answer to the same question, you could make a lot of money speculating on currency if you knew which way the currency would go up or down. Fortunes are made and lost on currency speculation. You also have to consider what the amount of interest you are losing by having it sit in PayPal. PayPal does not pay interest on that outstanding balances you have deposited. The interest rates are very low now so it is not as much a consideration. For example when the interest rates was 5% if you left it in PayPal for six months you would lose two and half percent interest by letting it sit there. The dollars that are sitting there would have to appreciate by 2-1/2% just to break even. The stock markets and currencies seem to go up on a whim, if there is a storm in the Gulf of Mexico oil prices go up, when oil prices go up our Canadian dollar goes up because we produce a lot of oil here in Canada. The best time to withdraw the money would've been a few weeks ago and I suspect the dollar will slide a little bit more before it stabilizes. You can withdraw it now and cut your losses or wait for the next cycle, but remember you are losing interest on that money too, although today's rates there is not much interest to lose. I guess it depends on how desperate you are going to need the money in the near future.

Though I have interest in money speculation, I have a big doubt also as that is it possible for us to be a successful one in that. If we are about to loose our money, then the situation will become much worst. That's why I am not entering into that. BUt some time, I used to think as that why should not we take risk...In future, I may take risk in that , at least with $100.00 at the beginning.We can start it after thinking that we already lost our money.Though interest is much less, this also counts and we are not able to neglect that entirely.Now I wish to wait upt o the start of the next cycle, to withdraw my money.Thanks for your valuable suggestions.

In the long term, the value will drop. The US government has been printing billions on billions of dollars, which undoubtedly will lower the value of the dollar. However, as to when, or how quickly that will happen, is a bit hard to know. It also depends on India's economy will do. India has moved more towards Capitalism and free-market, and thus it's economy is increasing. That will also make the US dollar worth less compared to India currency. Unless you sense the India economy will decline soon, I would likely pull money out now.

I am not able to understand why they are doing do if they do like that..But I don't think that they will print the money as they like without considering their gold value. But there may be possibilities for that also.They may do so, to hide the actual economic statues from the public.It is also essential for them to stop the sale of arms to the other nations. To sell the arms, they have to do lot of thing indirectly and to spend a lot for that.I don't think they will come back to the normal in the near future though my wish is the speedy recovery.I think the failure of the past governments are now suppressing the present government there. But I hope they will come back with difficult, within a year or little more. Till then, let me wait.Thanks for your response to this discussion.

Whether you need the money now or later is a matter of little importance. More important is, how you are putting your money to use. Just letting the dollars idling in the Paypal account is a crime, to put it mildly. You are wasting your money, man. Whether the dollar goes up or down is secondary, keep taking the money and invest in at least short term fixed deposits if you do not need the money at present. Keeping the money idle in paypal gives you nothing extra. Use your head, not your heart, my dear

The falling US Dollar is great for me as we import a lot of products from the USA. It now costs us a lot less to order the same things that we did a six months ago, which helps our business greatly! I also have a couple of hundred dollars in Paypal in USD from affiliate earnings, but that is only a small amount compared to the thousands that I save from the US Dollar being low! Personally I hope and believe that it will fall further!

As you are viewing in your business point, you are getting profit there. I am wondering how they are giving at the lowered price still without considering their future..This will lead to the additional problems if they continue to do so..But they will not continue and it sure..before that, you can make bulk purchases to meet your business.My wish is against yours ..sorry..because every one wants to gain some thing in their doings..but unfortunately my side is falling down much.Anyway make use of the current situation and get some benefits..Thanks for sharing your views here in this discussion.

I am American, and I do use the dollar as my currency. However, that said, if I were you I think I would go ahead and withdrawl at least some of the money now because if you wait to withdrawl it until later, it is really like you are gambling with your money to a certain extent. I do see glimmers of hope that the economy here in the states is getting better, but that doesn't mean that the value of the US Dollar is going to recover overnight. It took several months for us to end up in the situation that we are in now and it is going to take us at least that long, if not longer to get back to where we once were.

I never expected this type of decline . There will be a slight variation in the currency values for all of the countries and this is normal. But the US dollar value is going on decreasing continuously without any break. The economic changes happened in your country is affecting almost all of the international countries, particularity our India is getting much loss in various issues. The IT people lost their jobs and they continue to loose their jobs everyday. Even after having the money within the country, the government seems struggling a lot to regain its normal economic stat. But I hope the reformation may help them to bring the country to the level as like in the past. As you told, it may take even one or two years.Thanks for your response to this discussion.

I don't have any immediate needs to make the withdrawal request now. For this reason only, I kept my blance there itself and now I am in loss. .Still the value is lowering everyday. I hope the economic situation will regain its actual stat very soon. If we make some purchase of products available in USA. If we do so , the cost may some what less. But they may even increase the price of the products now to compensate the losses.But I will not make any more online purchase due to the fear of getting scammed. I am going to wait for few months to see if there any improvement in the dollar value and then only should withdraw it.Thanks for the suggestion.
