Hi Iris,
My method, having paypal, is with my (free) paypal
Mastercard, which allows me to spend the money in my paypal
account anywhere a credit card is accepted, or, should I go
to any bank, I may hand them my card and retrieve my money
at no cost and at no delay, in Cash, right there and then.
The only restraint is that there is a $400.00 Dollar limit
per occasion ( or per day, I forget which).
In fact my paypal card saved my derier in Indianapolis,
when, late at night, having just flown in, the rental car
company with whom I had a car reserved, found my 'american
express gold card' to be..."declined" . This though no fault
of mine, but, because american express ( read: some boob in
Karachi, India) had maybe mis-typed something ( for the
third time in a year) ...even though I had paid off my
previous ( not much) balance on time, weeks before, just
like I allways had...
What fun...

and paypal will write me a check or I can choose to have it
wired to my bank, it takes 4 days for the funds to be
transfered and yes they do take a percentage, though small,
I just add that into the cost of the product. I never see
the credit card number,and they never see my bank route
number. I haven't had a problem with it in the three years
I have used it.

What's the percentage if any on the Mastercard? ( a reason why we use Amex) I know my limit on how much I can take out of the paypal account is 500 every two weeks... I wonder if that's what you are talking about.

Hello Iris,
My paypal Master Card costs me nothing to use, or rather,
when I use it to purchase something, I actually recieve a
small credit to my account, something like 2 percent or
so...maybe a little more or less, I do not remember right
now.
paypal charges for monies as are sent to my account, as when
people pay me, and that percent is small...I suppose like 2
or 3 percent or something...whatever it is I have never felt
it enough to care.
My Card represents a method of spending from the money I
have in my paypal account, rather than that it allows me to
borrow...or in other words, it is not a 'credit' Card in the
sense tat one is borrowing the money one is spending...one
is spending one's own money when one uses the Card.
There are no fees nor annual fees or any fees as such, only
the small percentage paypal charges to process monies
comeing in...and then they give me about the same small
percentage back, or maybe it is a little tiny bit less,
when I use the Card to purchase something.
Like that...
I think the limit I have with the Card, is $400.00 a day, or
maybe it is actually $400.00 per occasion...(sorry, way
tired)...I think it may be $400.00 per occasion as I think I
remember doing it twice one time in the same day...
You could go to their home page and read up on the
particulars of the Card...(Since I am semi-useless as to the
precise facts right now...)
I am happy with it...it has proven easy and convenient and a
reliable asset for getting paid (especially from foreign
purchasers, or, merely from diatant domestic purchasers as
wish to use whatever their credit Card is, and who can do so
on-line) and for having access to the mony I have been paid
as is in my account with them.
The (paypal Mastercard) Card seems so much easier than
having checks mailed to one's Bank from one's paypal
account...
