Okie dokie. So I got paid for my first article from Associated Content, it hit my pay pal account and now I'm waiting for it to hit my card. Does anyone know how quickly paypal will put the funds into a bank account... Thanks everyone!

For future reference I suggest getting yourself a paypal debit card. This way when your funds hit your paypal account you can access them right away. I have had mine for about 3 years and don't know what I would do without it.

I tried to get one but they saw my credit, screamed and ran away. It made me very sad!

Are you certain that you applied for the debit card and not the credit card? They are two different types of cards and my credit is not good either.

Wow, well done for your AC payment! I think there's a minimum payout of around $10 from Paypal, and they also take a cut for paying you (at rather outrageous rates, IMHO) so you have to have at least the minimum amount in your account before they payout. But if you've got the minimum amount in your account, and have requested payout - it can take up to 5 days (well, it did with me)

I didn't realize that there was a minimum pay out or a fee. That's annoying. Its hard enough to eek out a living without those jerks taking their cut too!

I think they usually say 3 or 4 business days (meaning not a holiday or the weekends). I've always gotten my money transferred in about 2 or 3 days, though. It might be different due to your location and how much you're transferring, though. I think the maximum is 4 days, but it should say somewhere on the Paypal site.
