most of time when we receive online earning or payment from some programs, do you like to deposit your money into digital currency as like paypal, e-gold, moneybookers, etc until some amount before you withdraw it or just withdraw it immediatelly from digital currency into cash through local bank transfer? since i don't like to buy online stuff from abroad (cause of the price and even the system customs department in my country), i prefer to withdraw my balance from digital currency into my local bank account. i also thought the safety risk in deposit money into digital currency since they are third party and always have possibility to be hacked by anyone than local bank account. so, which one you prefer, just accumulate your balance in digital currency or withdraw it into your local bank account?

I save up a lot of money on my PayPal and use it to buy things online such as bidding on eBay or Amazon.

Hi plumwish07, Unfortunately This digital currency don't have interest just like bank. I would like to keep it there if they have,.. But sometimes Bank also cut for administrative, so No mater how hong we keep in paypal or moneybookers it won't changes. That is the good thing about them.

well if we discuss about interest rate, then we should know that interest rate in our local bank is lower than the administrative cost, am i right? so you prefer to keep your balance into digital currency? do you feel safety enough by doing this? i am curious to know if you don't mind

as of now my earnings are still in my digital currency account because i didn't meet or reached the minimum withdrawal from my local bank that no charge of it. if i withdraw below the minimum amount i am force to pay charge of withdrawal. after i reached it i will withdraw my earnings and deposit it to my local bank.

as soon s I get notication that mylot paid into paypal I immediately transfer it to my bank account where I know it is safe. I have had my online bank account for years and never had any problems with it at all. much safer there.

I get the money sent to paypal and then from pay pal to my bank. I have found that works well... I also, I must admit, have quite a few Amazon Gift Certificates and may eventually go shapping on line with those. I got them through doing something on the internet.

i like to save my e-money instead of withdrawing it directly. i save it for emergency use only & it also allows me to save much since transferring funds to my bank account costs a fee.

i am really not concerned about my electronic funds since i just acquired them from the internet. i won't consider it as a lost just in case that happens. ;)

I leave mine on paypal. I have their debit card so I can use the funds from that and I get 1% back from all purchase with it. I have also transferred funds to my prepaid credit card from paypal, so it just depends on when I need the money.

I prefer to get the amount to my account and thereafter I can spend the money, as per my wishes. I also do not prefer on-line shopping. I prefer to shop in person.

There will be charges if we withdraw it into our credit card. For paypal, we can't withdraw into our local bank yet (Malaysia) but we can withdraw to our credit card which we have to pay USD5 per every withdrawal. If there is any things i am interested to buy, i will proceed buying online rather than withdrawing them as i will lose portion of money for nothing.

In fact I prefer to withdraw it and then save it to my own bank account. I think in this case this money finally belongs to me. However, I am unable to withdraw the money from Paypal as it will charge me USD35 and that's so expensive. I love China

I only use paypal as an online one and once it reaches a certain amount I will transfer to my bank account which in fact I done this week as my payment from myLot took it to over the £50 that I set it at to transfer over. Ellie :D
