Hello Mylotters I have been working hard in Mylot to get paid in my Paypal account. Now the question is, "How can I use the money from Paypal" ??? What are the ways in which I can use the money from Paypal. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

I do several things with my Paypal money. 1) I have my checking account attached to it, so sometimes I tranfer the money from Paypal to my bank. 2) I have a Paypal Debit card, (not sure if its available outside the US & Canada), which I use sometimes for small purchases. When I've had 10-20 dollars in there, I've taken a coworker out to lunch and used the debit card to utilize paypal money for the meal. 3) Ebay- A lot of sellers that I deal with like to be paid via paypal, so I will pay my winning auctions with it.

Dear senthil2k Go for shopping at www.ebay.in .. there are many sellers who accepts Paypal .. before buying you can ask them whether they will accept paypal or not .. and if they agreed you can go ahead and purchase the item of your choice which comes under the money earned by you. http://stores.ebay.in/touchnshine

Well the thing is you need to ask the sellers who are selling items -- will they accept paypal or not .. and if they agreed then you can pay them by logging into www.paypal.com -- signing into your account and then use send money option -- Convert INR. ( Indian Rupee ) into USD ( United States Dollars) and then pay the seller .. simple

I dont see the option of paying by Paypal in ebay.in now. I remember I saw the option few months back, but not now. Please clarify. Thanks for the response.

Well you can use the money in your PayPal account to make online purchases.Most places offer PayPla as a payment option and it's a lot safer to use than Credit Cards.You can get a ATM card from PayPal as well and withdraw cash at any ATM machine and unlike some ATM cards that banks offer....they never charge a fee for it. If you don't want to use any of those.....than you can have the money transfered to your bank account.....but they do charge a fee for that one. If you leave the money in your PayPal account.....it actually earns you some interest....I think the current rate is right around 5%...which is not to bad. Hope this hepls.....enjoy!!!

You can make a purchase using your paypal in sites like ebay, etc. You can also request payment from xoom.com from your paypal without adding any credit card, etc.

I have heard that you can transfer your money in Paypal to your bank account through the site called Xoom.com. But I never tried it myself. Please let me know if you are successful.

I'm tooking for the same question ... I think we can transfer to the bank account ..other than that you can buy items in ebay and other websites online ..paypal is the best website to buy something in online next to credit card ... so use your account .. buy something seel it back ..its an indirect method ...but costs more ..so its better you refer paypal site itself
