If it were me, I wouldn't leave $10k sitting in my paypal account. And I wouldn't be telling the world I have that much sitting idle there, coz I'd be inviting scammers and hackers. If you are not afraid to take risks, invest it on stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. Or if you are good at something or have an interest or a hobby and have the time to spare, maybe you could put up a business which you can manage.
As a matter of fact, there is no other investment entities than the forex trading from an efficiency viewpoint. The higher leverage and the cheaper commission fees should be very attractive to the individual investors.
Paypal is so safe for the buyers...and i guess he can`t get scammed there. He has a lot of time to "smell" a scam .If he wires or sends western union...he will probably never see a money back(if he works with a scammer).As for business ideeas..i suggest you with all the trust to get in the Gambling industry.I`m in this niche now for more than 6 years and i have huge satisfactions.I wouldn`t chose any other niche.As for other ideeas...forex seems fishy...i suggest you yo withdraw the money and make something offline if you don`t have good experience in the internet marketing. Also...don`t spend your money on stupid ebooks . 99,99% of the ebooks sucks ...Nobody sells good information...why would they do it?) I see ebooks saiyng .."make 100.000$ in 3 months ..buy this ebook now for just 5$" Good luck!
no need to invest much money if you are still nubies in internet marketing, just spend $1000 in advertising to promote affiliate products, and learning copywriting..i think you will get much experince....
Investigate starting an organization which helps others start macroentrepreneur or microentrepreneur enterprises in developing countries. Then you can reinvest the earnings from those businesses which succeed into others to grow your net worth. Thats what I would do if I had $10k, thats just me. Withdraw your money into your bank account. I wouldn't let $10,000 sit in PayPal account for any extended amount of time, period. Paypal is 7 out of 10 for holding money in your account.
muffet, I like your idea. Especially if you could build up a network of trust or have some minimum qualifications like the microlending has established.
