Way to get money out of PayPal?

savagesam117 · 28 Dec 2015 at 12:00

I've got money in a PayPal account which is of absolutely no use to me in there. I can't link my bank account to PayPal as it won't let me so can't withdraw that way.

The only way I can think is to send it to someone who has their account linked, then they withdraw and BT it over to me.

Or is there something I'm missing?

And sorry guys, I'm not sending it to you for the above process

Any reason why you can't link your bank account to your PayPal?

You can PayPal it to me if you like and I'll bank transfer it to you

genuine offer

Why won't it let you link accounts? That's the whole idea of PayPal - moving money between your bank and a third party, and back again

I guess you could transfer it to me (unless it's thousands of pounds of laundered money

) and I could BT it to you...

If its genuine clean money (can prove it somehow) can transfer over and id also BT it over.

Odd how u can't link a bank though.. it does take 4 days or so iirc, what bank you with?

Can't think of anything that isn't complicated like using a prepaid card that can be funded via paypal.

Set up a second PayPal account, link your bank to it, gift yourself the money. Or just use it to buy things, there are a surprising number of places which take PayPal now

I have no idea why, I've spoken to the people at PayPal too they said they don't know why.

I'm with Barclays.

I would keep it there and buy stuff but I have absolutely nothing that I need to buy.

Send me a trust message and I'll sort it for you.

Bank transfer done.

Gracias. Much appreciated

Just out of curiosity, why can't you link your bank account?

Pay hookers by Paypal.

I can't link mine with Barclays for some reason (not that I want to) but IIRC I can put money back onto my bank cards.

I never linked my bank account with paypal. I only use cards with them. Too many horror stories of Paypal deciding to actually /take/ money from the account -- with a card you can cancel it (and cancel the card) while if they have your bank details, you're screwed.

I think having your bank details on there is actually "safer". PayPal take the money by Direct Debit, meaning its covered by the DD guarantee; essentially meaning if they take a payment you don't "approve" you're legally entitled to a refund, if its a card payment then you'd have to prove it was fraudulent

My barclays linked fine along with my debit cards :confused:
