If you receive money, transfer it out to a real bank account immediately. --- End quote --- IIRC you pay to do that. I prefer to just spend the balance on things. --- End quote --- No, it's absolutely free. Confusingly, PayPal offer "instant" withdrawals for £0 ... and "3-5 day" withdrawals, also for £0 fee. Not sure why they do both, maybe on some accounts they charge more. --- End quote --- Global platform, other jurisdictions have a fee for the instant version (and/or to/from CCs). |

Sure, but why not hide the slow option in jurisdictions where there's no charge? Isn't everyone going to select the fastest option if they are both free? |

I can imagine this has to do with the negative interest conglomerate banks asking for stalling money. In my country any amount above €200000 gets an negative interest of 0.5% annually. If someone would put it on a paypal account they would be better off. |

Paypal doesn't want to have debt to you. It's supposed to be the opposite. So they just take money on both sides of the balance now. Just like real banks. |
