Alternative ways to withdraw from PayPal

    Hello everyone,

    I have some good funds in my PayPal account and I would like to withdraw them, but I don't want to do it via my bank account (which is linked to the paypal account and verified). I have some credits due to be paid to my bank so as soon as I land any funds on the account, the bank would suck them in.

    I live abroad and in my country paypal doesnt offer their ATM card (I think it's USA-only at the moment). So what I am looking for is some sort of pre-paid debit card that could be funded from my PayPal account, but I cannot find any! Also, I have checked XOOM but they only offer bank trasfer option to my country (no cash pick-up for my country).

    I dont want to transfer the funds to a friend's paypal account, or to link my paypal account to a friend's bank account, because I just dont want to get anyone involved unless utterly necessary.

    Does anyone know any alternative way to withdraw those funds from my PayPal account without having to go through my bank account or though my bank's debit card? I don't mind paying some commissions along the way.

    Thank you very much!

    You can try Xoom if it works in your country. Please go to the xoom web site and check whether its working for your country.

    If I withdraw using my credit card, which is also linked to my bank account, it will be the same as withdrawing directly to my bank account. I don't want my bank to know about those funds because I asked for a 6-month delay period for returning that loan and they granted it to me, so I cannot just come up with few thousand dollars out of the blue now.

    I need to withdraw that money through an external tool such as Xoom (which won't work in my country) or an online pre-paid card (which I cannot find any that's reloadable via PayPal). Do you guys know any other alternative?

    Your best best is to open another bank account withdraw to it from PayPal.

    That way, the credit compulsions of your current bank a/c won't interfere with your business moving ahead.

    It' very easy :D Do you have a friend or colleague with PayPal account ? If yes, you can do any payment for your friend needs and getting cash from your friend (minus a small percentage).

    The alternative way to withdraw from Pay Pal by using balance transfer to your friends/colleague Pay Pal account & another option is open a new Bank Account.

    Have you tried the Payoneer Virtual Account?
    Do ACH from PayPal to the virtual account and funds are available on your Payoneer card.

    Hello,
    Can't you get pay pal to send you a check? I have done that in the past and it's kind of cool. It's like getting a pay check in the mail. I have a pay pal credit card through my account and if you do as well, use that as a regular credit card. I mean if the funds are there and they are yours use them right.
    Good Luck to you...:)
