Cashing in from Paypal to Gcash!

@hereandthere Hmm... I guess I should go to the branch and ask them. Another thing I don't like about my Unionbank is that they don't have a branch close to me. So I opened my account in the city, an hour or so away from me, and I don't go there very often anymore. :(

@moirai i withdraw from bdo atms since they're just walking distance.

it wasn't an issue before. i was still able to transfer and withdraw money even with an expired eon card. but now, not anymore because your atm has to have the emv chip now. the old one will not be recognized by that atm. maybe you can go to the branch where you opened your account and withdraw over the counter, though you have to pay a fee. or you can renew/upgrade your card to the new one with emv chip. did you not receive a letter or email from unionbank? or maybe you can use your paypal money for online transactions only.

@renicemae I think there is no fee in linking gcash to PayPal you just need to have at least 150 pesos balance in your Gcash account.

@Bhebelen14 Linking paypal to gcash has a fee. They deducted P52 on my gcash account.

Yeah. Though there's a small fee from linking paypal to gcash, it's still okay. I guess theres no fee when cashing out to from paypal to gcash. I didn't notice any additional deduction.

@renicemae Oh wow, that is a long time to have to wait, I hope it goes through soon.

I think Gcash is for Philippines only. I tried linking my bank account to Gcash but status is still "checking" until now. It's been couple of months already.

@cintol Yeah. Have you tried linking any of your bank accounts to paypal? How long did it take?

That's what I did for the previous years too. This is my first time cashing out my money in Paypal and not spending it.

@renicemae the money I am getting on my money making apps are all to be spend online for my skin care and for my kids clothes and all that stuff.

@renicemae I also use PayPal for my various purchases rather than chance someone managing to get my debit card number. I am much more comfortable with paying that way because I know that PayPal is honest and they are trustworthy. Plus it's easier than entering my debit card number time after time.

Yeah it is. But how do you cash out your paypal money? Is it through bank?

@renicemae Yep, I have my checking account linked up and it is sent to my bank.

Oh. I never heard of Paytm. Is that in your country only?

@Icydoll I see. Thanks for the information.

@renicemae yeah only for India

I use gcash to cashout my money from paypal. IN that way I could withdraw the money from any banks and or use it for loading purposes.

I see. I already tried linking my bank account to paypal but until now it's pending

I see. That's good. This was the first time I withdraw my paypal earnings. Most of the time, I get to spend it in paying stuffs online like when we reset our printer.

I see. I bet your savings there is big already. This is my first time cashing out in Paypal.

@renicemae not really as I got my first payment last April only.

Yes dear. Gcash is pretty useful. It's connected to a number of stores in the Philippines too so you can use your money in gcash in paying stuffs in the mall. Like in groceries..for gassing up..loading your phone etc.

Yeah. It's all thanks to Paypal.
