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%
wow! lots of money you have! ive just started my paypal..i will post mine if i got my first thousand which is like will take me forever!
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...
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 never keep more than 50 since paypal is a pure scam, they just shut down accounts with no real reason
Interesting. One of the repliers to the thread said he kept a few thousand in his. So should I be concerne or not? :S
I'm scared of keeping too much money in my paypal. So I withdraw them once they reach about $100 or so.
I have $350, which I am going to put towards making a new forum in the future maybe! Good luck on buying your laptop then!
