you still dont have a bank account to linked with your paypal account? I'll be using my paypal account for other stuffs, like accepting payments. I still dont have a bank account to linked with it. So there.. Can I still accept payments? Can I just save it all in paypal and then linked up my bank account when it is already available?

PayPal is secure so it's ok to leave it in your account. Once you open a bank account you can transfer the funds to your account and spend or save as usual. You can also use the money from PayPal to buy different items online. I remove the amount earned from myLot and transfer it to my checking account at the bank. Haven't had any problem.

Yes, I believe you can accept payments even without a bank linked to your paypal. One main reason that you link an account to paypal is, that is where you will withdraw your earnings. But if you still dont have a bank linked to it, you can use it to purchase other stuff from internet that supports paypal.

Yeah, you can do that. Paypal is secured and your money will not be lost in there. Once your local bank account becomes available then you can start transferring the money in there. However, you can spend it already from your paypal account if you wanted.

I think that is the best thing to do in this part is to save it in Paypal account first and if your Bank Account is ready then you could just put all the details and certainly transfer the fund in your Bank Account......and I also read here once that Paypal also have Alertpay so Mylotters would probably help you in this matter.......because I have Moneybookers account for Paypal is not available in the Country (Kuwait)that I have.......
