Default Question about Paypall. Cheque or direct to bank account?

Hey there,

I notice most people seem to take cheques from paypal, but they can transfer your money right to your bank account.

Do people use cheques because they're afraid that paypal will steal money from their account? What's the reasoning?


Thanks,
Joe

I use paypal quite a bit for my business and have signed up for a paypal business debit card (I highly recommend this if you use paypal or even if you don't, you get 1% cash back on DEBIT CARD purchases, so its very useful).

With the debit card though, I had to put my bank account as a fund backup to my paypal account so if my paypal account ever reached $0.00 and I used the debit card, it would take the funds out of my bank account as a backup. I never thought paypal would steal money, they are very trustful and I've never had any problems. I love paypal because its fast and easy to use and would recommend it to all.

Paypal would very quickly cease being Paypal if they played games with your bank account.

Choose direct debit/deposit and stop worrying!

Paypal does have a bit of a reputation for stealing money from people...
