Do you get enough in your Paypal to pay bills?

I just paid my phone bill with PayPal. I will probably pay my internet with it as well. It really comes in handy as a secondary money source. What about you do you have enough in pp to actually use it it for bills or do you just save it?

I use my PayPal account to pay online where I do not want to give my credit card data.

I use it whenever I can actually, so I can keep my money in my real bank account where it belongs.

@snowy22315 - My Internet and electricity bills are paid directly by my bank. At least I cannot forget and I have nothing to do.

@snowy22315 the money from my paypal that I pay for bills come from my business earnings. Not from mylot and I don't have any other online earning sites.

My internet runs me over $100/month and our cellphones are right around that same price, so suffice to say that my paypal would never even come close to covering those bills. I only use it when I would like to buy something small online.

You have a real job, so PP probably would not offer you a lot of extra cash.

@snowy22315 That's right, plus the cost of our bills greatly outweigh what I could earn through anything that pays through paypal. I just look at it as a little supplement is all.

I use my debit card for all purchases so I never leave anything in PayPal but add everything to my account.

You transfer it? I find the PP debit card super handy.

I do not earn that much PayPal, but I do apply it usually to Amazon orders.

I do that as well. It is a handy, dandy little resource to have around.

can't be said to be enough but at least it can be used as an extra money. I just keep it until needed I will transfer it to the bank.

I have to check how much money I have left there. I usually save my money from PayPal until I need it for paying a hotel booking. I used it last year for my hotel in the Philippines.

Some people do let it add up for something they really want too use it on.

All my PayPal money goes to dinners out. I treat whoever is working for me to a meal out once and a while.

I don't buy much online but if I do I pay through Paypal. It's linked to my bank account (maybe they all are) but there always seems to be enough in it to pay for my small purchases.

I'm in the process of figuring out how to pay my first bill with PayPal if I can make enough side income to do so. I'll probably start with a small bill like the $10/month I spend on my Roku cameras. I have a regular day job but would be cool to offload some expenses to whatever I can earn on the interwebs.
