Quick q about surveys / paypal

Hiya! long time reader, first time poster..... AWESOME site! :))

I will be moving soon, first time living on my own for ages (eeek) lol. To get a few more pennies in, I have got a good list of survey sites ready, got a new email and picked up a phone for £1.99 off ebay for any spammy calls or texts.

My q about paypal is... tho I have a pp account, I never went through the process of linking it to my bank (where you deposit a couple of pence into the bank from pp then input that info), but I assume they must be linked, as I have used pp a few times, and funds do come out of my bank now without me having to put in my card details anymore.

When I get a payment into pp from surveys, how easy is it to get those funds into my bank account? Or are the funds 'stuck' in pp?

Many thanks! :))

    It's very easy - just log in and select withdraw. If you don't have a bank account already set up in PP will prompt you add one.

    super duper simple. and also when you want to transfer money to your partners account or whatever, i believe that selecting the "send as gift" option reduces or removes the fees.

    But on the whole it seems a great service. About time it got knocked back a few pegs by a new company though, so we can see some more savings

    It is worth letting you know that withdrawals have changed for the better now...

    Mine come through within 1 minute of me cashing out as they use the 'faster payments' system now :)
