Title: Is pay pal worth it
Post by: sioajs on November 18, 2010, 06:19:22 pm
Does anyone use this and how much of your pay did they take?

I don't think paypal would make you pay a fee for FC.  At least, not for me.

With paypal, you actually receive the amount that FC owes to you. It's likely that FC pays the expense to pay you the money, and I bet it's still less than them having to organize mailing a check out to you.

From an end user perspective, Paypal is awesome. It lets you shop online instantly. I jsut sent $100 to a person in another part of the country in a matter of seconds and now he can mail out my product instead of waiting for payments to arrive or to clear.

I prefer paypal because I buy things online often.

 Using the paypal payment method is a faster way to get paid, if you have a paypal account. Some prefer to use direct deposit, or waiting for a check in the mail. I do not think that paypal would deduct any fees from your FC payment.

From what I read on the forum, it sounds like paypal is the way to go.   :thumbsup:

PayPal is great and convenient.  Usually use my PayPal account to pay for stuff I buy online.  FC is helping me fund my PP account.

Pay pal is great.  they dont take any of your fusion cash money and I have a debit card that i can use pretty much anywhere.  and u get money back at the end of the month if u use it as a debit card.  So I love paypal.  wish inbox and send earnings used paypal.
Title: Re: Is pay pal worth it
Post by: lray3152 on November 27, 2010, 05:48:16 pm
Yes they are 100% worth it!  I use them for my fusion cash cash-outs and they do not take a single dime from it.  I also use paypal to purchase items online.  I recommend them fully.  Good luck!

    :)    Speaking of PayPal- Can you make money using PayPal besides Fusion Cash?
Title: Re: Is pay pal worth it
Post by: U2BMATH on November 30, 2010, 05:50:15 pm
I'm a direct deposit kinda guy. Glad for this option. I have my PP account set up as a Premier Account, so they DO take money from any money sent through them. $0.39 to start, and 2.9% in addition, I believe. So like on $50.00, I would lose like $0.53. Not much, mind you, but hey, that's a whole Survey worth of money! Direct Deposit is like faster, too. Because unless you're lucky to have a PayPal Visa Card, you still have to wait for FC to send money to PP, and then up to 4 more days for PP to send it to your bank.

Post by: pepsis on May 25, 2011, 05:51:31 am
Pay Pal is the way to go!  I have an account with them and it doesn't cost me a thing.  You can look back on the history of purchases and if by chance something is withdrawn from your bank account, you can have pay pal research it.  So go for it!
Title: Re: Is pay pal worth it

Post by: Jasmine81 on May 25, 2011, 07:15:33 am
PayPal doesn't charge you a fee or take out any of your monies if you use them to cash out with FC.

The only thing is, it just takes longer to get your money, because once it is in your PayPal account you have to either request a check, or send the funds to a bank account.

So if you could do direct deposit, I would.  It's faster.

PayPal takes a percentage of money that is sent to me.  It is based on whether it's sent as "personal - gift" or a regular payment which is 3 1/2% or 3 3/4%, I forget which. 
Title: Re: Is pay pal worth it

Title: Re: Is pay pal worth it
Post by: dbreidenbach on May 25, 2011, 12:21:18 pm
The only time I've had paypal take money is when someone sent me a regular cc payment, then it took a percentage.  Otherwise, I've had no problem with it, and prefer it :)

Post by: footemama on May 26, 2011, 12:37:07 am
I LOVE Paypal! Like others have said I buy things on-line all the time and have found Paypal to be a really great tool for me. It also gives me that extra barrier to make sure that I spend the money on me and not to pay a bill or something. I don't make much at a time but I keep doing it because I know that it's my money that I will be able to buy something for me with. My last FC cashout I just spent to buy a book that I have been wanting since I started school. Yes it's for school but it is definitely not required and it will help me BIG TIME once I start working (and I got it almost half price). :)

    Is Pay- Pal worth it? Yes they are pay pal is good to used when you ordering items online, especially when you don't want your credit card information giving to the company you are ordering from pay- pal is the best because they keep your information private. Also, they keep you from being scammed what I mean about that is, take me for a prime example I have a pay-pal account and was shopping on E-Bay and I bought several items from them. I received all my items from each seller accept one so I waited before I decided to call pay-pal and complain about not receiving my item. Immediately pay-pal did an investigation to contact the seller to find out why they didn't send me my item, but nobody never respond back so to make along story short they refunded back the money to my pay-pal account with no problems.

PayPal is very worth it! I have a PP debit card so I don't even have to send money to my bank if I don't want to. Also, when buying online I love to use PayPal & for sites that don't accept PP, the debit card works fine.

I just recently sold a bunch of stuff on Ebay, so I'm finally comfortable using PayPal. I was wary before, but now that I know they work and don't feel like there's a ton of risk, I switched my payment method for FC to PayPal. Can't wait to get my first deposit!

I think paypal is worth it because you get your money faster. I have several survey sites connected to my paypal account so that all my money can go into it as i cashout my accounts. then i can just transfer the money easily to my bank.

paypal never takes anything out of my fc earnings, although with buying/selling they do.. so Im not sure what your refering too.,
Title: Re: Is pay pal worth it
Post by: LenoraMinogue on June 01, 2011, 01:46:58 pm
I think it just depends on if PayPal or direct deposit works better for you. I've never been charged any extra fees using PayPal when it comes to FC. So far, I've gotten my payments a bit before the expected date too, which is nice.

Paypal is a incredible service. It allows me to send and receive money quickly. It is also really helpful if someone you know owes you money and they don't have the cash. Just be like "no prob, I can take credit & debit. God I love that rofl.

PayPal is just fine and I have gotten my money back several times when I sent in a complaint.  I don't use it for FC because I use direct deposit but I would never hesitate to use it.
I don't know how to do the picture either.  It's explained elsewhere in the forum but I can't make heads or tails of the explanation.

I use paypal and love it your money goes in and its available to you.  You do have to connect it to a bank account or credit card to get your money or they charge you a $3.00 fee to mail a check.  I have it connected to my bank account and it gets deposited with no fees.

I have used PayPal for years and love it.  (Started it because of buying / selling on Ebay).  You do not get charged any fee for using it.  And I shop online a lot and use PayPal, so having my FC payments go into PayPal works great for me.  I have transferred money from PayPal to my bank account in the past and it usually takes about 3 or 4 days to process, but PayPal also has a card you can use just as you do a bank card (debit card)....but I have never used it.

I am going to use Direct Deposit for FusionCash but I would definitely recommend having a PayPal account. You can use PP for so many things on the internet! I think it is faster and more convenient for online purchases as well. It's also a very safe way to buy thing online!

paypal works fine you can both receive and get payment from vendors and sometimes that is the only options with certain sites. I have had no problem with me actually receiving any payment or getting payments to vendors.
Title: Re: Is pay pal worth it
Post by: clayden0 on September 30, 2011, 11:27:56 pm
Paypal is alright, but if you want to have your cash instantly available for use in stores, you would need the Paypal Credit Card. Paypal balance needs to be transferred to your bank. It's a pain..
When transferring money from Paypal to your bank, that takes 2-3 days...
Therefore direct deposit is better, in that, your cash-out is instantly available no matter where you go.

Title: Re: Is pay pal worth it
Post by: San_Saephanh on October 01, 2011, 04:26:57 am
I like personally paypal better. I'm an online shopper. All the great frugal internet shoppers should have a paypal in my opinion. It allows for safe reliable versatility when dealing with both commercial and private sellers. Just becareful who you are dealing with.

And of course, I don't want to lose any pennies I EARNED from this site =P.

its good if you buy a lot of things online, I use paypal to keep all of my FC money and then I buy things online lol. If you dont, do a direct deposit and then it will be in your bank account, but a paypal is useful too

Title: Re: Is pay pal worth it
Post by: cwortman544 on February 21, 2012, 10:24:53 am
I've sold on ebay in the past and if your Paypal is a premier verified account you will get charged a fee for receiving payments it's how paypal makes their money.  The small amount of change we all look forward to earning on here for doing daily tasks or whatever does add up if you receive through paypal and I could guess that it would take longer.  I may sign up for Direct Deposit but the problem with that is Paypal is secure, entering your banking information online isn't always the safest thing and Paypal keeps you assured it's secure.  I still haven't decided what I will do, I'm in a toss up at the moment.  :dontknow:
Title: Re: Is pay pal worth it
Post by: ghunter on February 21, 2012, 10:31:03 am

I would recommend PayPal to anyone. It's a much more secure way to shop via the Internet, their customer service is great, and it's quick and easy to get your FC payout put in a PayPal account. You get a receipt and don't have to worry about the hassle of paper checks!

Are you a premier verified member?  I've been a member of paypal since like 2001 and know they usually charge when money is sent to you.  Other members said they do charge and they have premier accounts (as do i) so we will see because I did paypal.  If they charge me I'll be posting back on this thread with proof that they charged me and then next cash out I will do direct deposit lol
