Best method to withdraw from PayPal?????

[redgtxdi]

OK, so I have 2 paypal accounts. One I use for ebay that is verified, is premier, etc. etc. Can accept all forms of payments, make all forms of payments, etc.


Then I opened another one that has NOTHING on it. I didn't want 'em to have ANY info on me. I figure that way I can accept payments without fees, make payments without fees and that'd kinda' be my Anandtech/Quasi-cash pp account.


NOPE!!!

Trying to withdraw money outta' there is like tryin' to get gold outta Ft. Knox! They either want a bank account or check writing fee.


Soooo............

Would it be better to give 'em my bank account info........(yet again).........or give 'em my credit card info & PP myself in the other account & take the 2% hit?? (P.S. It's only $25, but still they're pissin' me off with this crap).

DO you not haev a second bank account you can hook it onto? That's the only way to withdraw for free. I haev a coupel accounts and one goes to checking and one goes to savings.

FYI, if you've ever logged into both accounts from the same computer, they already have both your accounts linked in their database.

As for their fees, they make all that information available before you sign up. Nowhere does PayPal say they are a completely free service, and for the convenience they offer I wouldn't expect them to be.

Well, apparently not 'cuz I've logged in several times from work *and* home to both accounts & they're still asking for bank acct info.



And if I give them the same acct info wouldn't I be able to withdraw for free or does that suddenly make it not-free anymore??

And to add...........

I actually *would* just spend it, but it appears I can't even spend the $25 in there unless I give 'em a credit card 'cuz every time I go to spend the money on anything it goes right to the "add a credit card" page and if I don't give 'em a credit card, my only option is "cancel adding credit card" and then it takes me right back to the transaction page.

IOW, no credit card.........no workie. Even though somebody may have paid you non-c/c funds.

Open an account with ING Direct and deposit it there.

Great idea.......except it still needs to get *out* of PP to get anywhere. 😉

You can't use 1 bank for two accounts

I'm a little confused. You already gave them your banking information once. What is the problem with doing it again? Just attach the account and withdraw the cash for free.

Curious, exactly how much time & effort have you put into trying to avoid paying $1.02 in fees?
