How long does the Paypal gift option last?

[jgro85]

Hey guys, as you know I'm pretty new here. I guess I'm kind of changing the subject...my apologies, but let me butt in here

I've used paypal for a while. I've noticed a lot of people saying they have paypal money to get rid of, etc. What I want to know is: I do alot of selling on eBay. Should I keep my money on paypal if I want to buy things and does it actually hurt me if I continue to withdraw?

btw, I use my bank account, not a CC or debit card.

After this you guys can move along.

It makes no difference. The only thing you should consider is that there is a 2-3 day wait for your funds when you withdraw to your bank account so if you want to buy something, you'll have to wait until those funds clear.

ah ok, so whatever fees I would pay anyway, I still pay using my bank account?

I think its gonna last for ever and ever


Example the new paypal app for the iphone has gift payment set to default.

If you make a normal paypal payment, you shouldn't be paying any fees. The only time you should be paying fees as a buyer is if you send someone money as a gift, and use your credit card to fund it.
