Regarding PayPal accounts, US cash, withdrawals, etc

OK, so I have about $1000 US in my PayPal acc't (from freebies). I was originally planning on spending most of that on referrals and getting MORE stuff/cash, but even my 50+ TR at A4F isn't getting me signups these days (such a dry spell going on!). So yeah, I'm getting paranoid about that money sitting there. I'm definitely going to keep SOME in, it's handy having quick access to US funds for online payments. However, I should probably just withdraw the rest. What the best way to do this to avoid losing a lot of cash? I only have a Canadian bank account.

Thanks all.

Withdraw more than $150. That way there should be no fees, regardless of if your account is Personal, Premiere, or Business.

pretty sure she's going to get knocked with a currency conversion fee if the paypal balance is denominated in $US and her bank account is in CAD

[quote9cf9529f0b="Admin"]pretty sure she's going to get knocked with a currency conversion fee if the paypal balance is denominated in $US and her bank account is in CAD[/quote9cf9529f0b]True ... but, those shouldn't be that much of a problem I wouldn't think. Plus, they are quite unavoidable no matter what she does.

But, it is something to keep in mind that the currency conversion might take its own toll on your money, Jennywren.

can u have a us bank account as a canadian?
and then just transfer money there and withdraw?

You can always get the PayPal debit card and use it at an ATM, (up to $400/day), or you can request a check for any amount minus $1.50. P

or you can send me the money, I withdraw it and I'll write ya a check. twisted

hmm... well what i would do is make a us bank account and keep it there until you needed it.

yea, that was my other choice also but you need someone trustworthy for that. best to get a relative in canada that could do this for you.

My bank offers US accounts, I think I'll look into that. Thanks everyone for the help!

I LOVE my paypal debit card! cash back on purchases is SWEET
