    Hey everyone

    Just a quick question regarding paypal, i am new to it and looking to cashout since I am not located in the usa I can not transfer to a bank account so I want to just cash out a cheque, is this possible or do I need a bank account in order to cash out money and by cash out i mean actually take out the money not just the check if that makes sense.

    When you go to My account>Withdraw>Request a check , you should be able to send the check to your registered addresss. But make sure money amount is in the same currency as in your country.

    Thanks, i know how to withdraw a check I am just wondering how to cash it over here since I read you may need a bank account so I am wondering is that correct or can I just cash it out like any other check.

    PayPal isn't going to send you a pile of cash, so no you can't literally "cash out".

    It does appear that Argentina is one of the countries that allows withdrawal to debit card or prepaid card, though:
    And there will be a withdrawal fee:

    And you are right that you probably need a bank account to receive a check:
