    Hello - I am going on a trip this weekend for the holidays and I am trying to see if there is a way to access my paypal money quicker than a bank transfer which won't get into my account until Monday (which is when I come back) ...

    I do not have a Paypal Debit card, which I am mad at myself for not getting earlier as that would have solved my problem. I am wondering if anyone knows of any service that would charge a fee and let me get my cash by, say, tomorrow?

    I tried xoom, but that is not available in the US. Money gram and Western union is not an option because they do not take paypal. I have a netspend card, but that will also take until Monday to have the money in there. I also have an account now card, but that would also take until Monday. I have a skylight card, and that will take until Monday too.

    If anyone knows of any options, please let me know.

    You can ask from a friend of yours (who has a paypal account) to exchange paypal money to US dollars. As I see that's quickest way.

    Yes, that's the easy option. How much you want to transfer?

    Thank you for that suggestion - I am already exploring those options by seeing who I know in my area that has one with a Paypal debit card (or another means of accessing the funds right away) ... so far, no luck, but I am still trying ...

    It is about $200 that I am trying to transfer ... however if there is an option to do more affordably, I may take it ...

    That is what I thought - if anyone knows if a service like Xoom that I can use, please let me know - thanks!

    You really have no other options when it comes to getting your money sooner. The quickest option to receive actual cash from your PayPal account is to have the debit card in which you don't have and do an ATM withdrawal.
