Just wondered. I returned an order and received the credit on my PayPal account. I thought, since I now have a credit balance, I could transfer it to my bank. Apparently not, because though I followed the instructions, it comes back with somethng like "Theres nothing to transfer right now. Try again when you have a PayPal balance."
Does anyone know what the deal is?

Love it or hate it, using PayPal limits how many places have my credit card and bank accounts. Having been victim to a hack in the past, I appreciate that fact.
VENMO, on the other hand... A horrific threat and ongoing risk.

(4,777 posts)connected to Thiel in any way is poison to me. You think he doesnt still profit from it? I detest him and do NOT trust PayPal from experience
Most banks offer secure ways to shop online with a credit card

(107,226 posts)Whether Bezos' Amazon or any other online retailer, these cretins are invested in everything. It is foolish to think otherwise. They are getting your money regardless. And banks in general are the worst crooks and the least likely to fully back you if a problem develops. Credit Unions only, for me-- for decades now...
