    Since you really didn't contribute to the thread, I would consider this spam. If you didn't like this 'stupid thread' then you shouldn't have read or replied to it.

    It is actually good to know- you can get feedback about how others use paypal and how extensively. For instance, I learned many do not put too much into paypal for fear of losing it because of some known problems with Paypal. I am that much more knowledgeable and able to better control my money because of this advice.

    It wouldn't have even been that bad if you didn't bring name calling into it...

    I am sitting on about $3500. Will use it to buy another good site if I can find one. If not I am content with the interest it is earning. Currently just over 5%

    If you're using Paypal to earn interest on money, it's much more secure and pays better to sign up with a regular money market account. Two examples:

    don't have enought posts to link, but...
    5.40% at Countrywide

    5.40% at Bank of America

    Right now, I have only about $10 in my paypal. (I haven't been working much lately). I wait until it gets up to $100, then I move it to my savings. I like the interest that it earns, but I don't want to lose more than $100...

    It really varies, but I usually don't keep any more than $1000 in there.

    Better use a savings account for that kind of purpose. Paypal is not a guarantee that your money is safe.
    Keep what you've got at your bank and you'll sleep better :)

    Ah, but these money markets will penalize you if you with drawl early... With Paypal, I can maintain any balance I want, and I do not get penalized for spending my money...

    Hmm..Is it really that unsafe to keep around $1,000 in Paypal?! What are my risks? I only have about $300 to go, so I will be withdrawing soon. Should I be concerned?

    I'm scared of keeping too much money in my paypal. So I withdraw them once they reach about $100 or so.:)
