I remember no longer ago, I created a discussion about paypal money and I have been thinking about it, I think I want to do either of them:
1.Open a new bank account for transfering the money so it is safe just in case there is problem. Do you know if the bank charges fee these days for opening an account?
2.Just spend in online on some shopping site. But some of them require shipping fee which I don't particularly like...
Which on edo you prefer? I hope to hear your ideas!!! Thank you so much! :-)

I withdraw it to my bank a/c. I select a bank that doesn't charge me, there are many out there. If you can find interesting things you want to buy online, then that's good to spend this way. Have a nice day.

Hello mermaidivy,
I am new to Paypal since myLot didn't accept moneybookers not long ago. I just received my second payment through Paypal. I wanted to transfer the money to my local bank but the very first payment that I got from here (through my Paypal) was used to pay for my husband hosting matter. The second payment is still there as the amount is still too little for me to transfer. I will be charged for some fees and that's the reason I yet to transfer the money. I prefer to transfer the money rather than using it online as I have a limited buying power due to my location here in Malaysia ( like you, I don't want to pay for the shipping fee and etc.)

Hi, Paypal is a safe online banking. I have been with them for years... and if you want to open an account to transfer(new account with no fee) then you can choose Chase bank, who was Wamu before. Or you can transfer to your personal bank that you already have... I am sure it is very safe. But if you still dont feel confident about this then you can open another account.
Another thing, if you want to do online shopping then you can use Debit card from paypal, which you have to order it from paypal. most of them will have free shipping and if you dont want to pay for free shipping then look for different site or Ebay.

I have thought about debit card before but they need my credit card number to do so which I don't have. I'm trying to go to Ebay to take a look. Thanks for sharing! :-)

Did you pay for the shipping fee when you shopped online?

The feeling is different if you get to hold the money that you have worked hard for. Shopping online is also a good idea because it's more convenient.
Meanwhile, I'd like to share to you that transferring funds to your bank account has a corresponding charge.

Yup!! Exactly, I would like to see the real cash that I earned.
That's what I thought they charge fee to transfer money to bank, I think it's like $1 for one transfer right? Thanks for sharing! :-)

Actually i'm not really sure about to keep my money on paypal account. It is better for me with all cost to transfer the money to my local bank. But Maybe some of my fund at paypal i will use to buy something online.
