What do you do with the money in Paypal?

I know that some of you here use it to pay for your house electricity bills and other things. But what about the rest of you? Do you use it for buying things on Amazon, Ebay and other things you can buy online? I would like to get some ideas.

For now, I am just saving it. Sometimes I might get something from Ebay, but usually not. I think it is always wise to save, and I plan to use the cash for a holiday next year if all goes well...

Hiya Judge, At the moment I donĀ“t have very much in Paypal but what I have got is sitting there till I decide what to do with it. That is a good idea to save for one of those. I like to try take Photos of Passenger Panes as they are the closest thing to the Ground. The other single Planes fly way too high for me. The passenger Planes come in quite close to Roofs of the Flats here so they are easier to Video or Photograph. Hope you can save enough to buy that thing you are talking about there.

Hiya Judge, Hope you can buy what you said. Who knows you might be able to take formidable Photos of different types of Airplanes, Jets, the lot. You could be able to make a name for yourself doing so. My Photos are not very brilliant I just love taking them. I took a Passenger Plane going out from Madrid Airport as we were on the Road back here and I had to be a contorsionist to be able to get the Jet in as it was so fast and it gained height very quickly but I did it. Yes I did it.

I have tried purchasing things online using my funds in my paypal account and even transferred funds to other accounts. I don't really use them to pay for the bills at home. Its due to the fact that what I have in my account wouldn't be enough to even pay for one of the bills we usually have at home. I would have to earn more online just to reach a minimum amount for me to transfer my funds to my bank account without actually getting charged. These days, I don't really spend my funds on paypal. I will just let them be there until they reach the minimum amount required to have them transferred to my bank account without actually getting charged for it (^_^")

Well, your buying power would be dependent on how much you can actually spend. Before, when I buy things online, after finding what I really wanted to buy, I would always consider the shipping fee. If there is no shipping fee, I guess that's even better. If there is, I have to check if my funds can cover it and if it is reasonable enough to pay for. We often tend to look for what we want in the lowest price possible

hio judgeironfist love that user name. I wish I could tell you I a m going to have a wonderful time buying a new book or something else I' really would love to have but alas I use it to pay for my cable internet bill each month so I can have fun on the net. I should find some other sites so I would have and make more money for other things. I do get social security and SSI but most of that goess to pay for the monthly ret and board here at Gold Crest.but I truly love my internet so all is not so bad. just some wishful thinking.

I plan to spend the money on things like DSLR. But still reaching and saving my money from paypal before I transferred it to my bank account. Or just save it for traveling, cause i really love travel around. So I won't use my savings account for my leisure. Or just invest it to something i knew that will earn money.

I see. Well, to me, the money in my paypal account now is like so little and I don't know what to do with it. Possibly I'll buy a noise cancelling headphone when I've saved more than enough.

I don't plan to buy things online. I save the money that i earn here and from other sites in my paypal account and when i think that's it's already a huge money, i will get it and save it in my bank account for future use.
