Question Use of Money Market Accounts

Hi All,

I am wondering if anyone has used or currently using a money market account (bank account) that is connected with their PayPal account? Is there an issue since technically it is still a savings account, would I just mark my stealth bank account is a savings account when it comes to adding a bank account to my stealth PayPal?

I think it'd be better to create a checking account from your bank and add that instead of savings.

I have never done this with savings since checking always worked for me.
So I can't comment on savings accounts usage

Thank you, however I am more gearing my question to the Money Market accounts that banks offer that in a sense act like savings account...

are there any restrictions on your Money market account?
SOME may not want to see too many withdrawals via ACH

I hear you. I'm sure other members who have done this and know the results can help you better.

I'm curious to hear more about it as well.

No restrictions on my money market account, other than 6 transactions a month.... but I don't mind that's not difficult to work with...

Then it is considered a saving account-6 withdrawals.
Do you have to pay a fee if you exceed 6?

@Agent006140

Yes there is a fee after I exceed the 6, but if I can stagger it to 1-2 times a week then I should be good, just have to make myself notes and keep a good handle on the funds... I already have 3 MM accounts setup, so that should give me 3 P/P and eBay accounts...

My only thing is would I mark it as a Savings account on Paypal when setting up the account though?

makes no difference if it is checking or saving on Paypal side,it is your bank which charges fee after 6 withdrawals on savings accounts.

There's no problem using a MM account with Paypal. You just enter it into Paypal as a savings account. You aren't limited on how many ACH's can go in so you can withdraw from PP every day if you want. The "6" limit is for transfers going out of your savings account and that's not very hard to work with. Just limit yourself to transferring $ out of your savings account once a week and you're good.

I'm speaking from personal experience here since my wells fargo MM account has been linked to one of my business Paypals for 4+ years. The money market account itself is worthless (credit unions for the win lol) but it has no problems linking up with PP for transfers.

I've always used savings accounts instead of checking accounts and have never experienced any issues with this.

I've never heard of the 6 limit though, is this an US thing?

@phaz0rz

Thank you for clearing this up for me, I have been sitting on 4 MM accounts for the last month and have been wondering if it is possible to attach to a stealth PayPal/eBay. Thankfully there is no transaction limit when it comes to ATM withdraws with the bank I am working with, just 6 transfers and transactions (i.e. at a POS system in a grocery store). So I will always have access to the funds in some form or fashion.

Thank you again,

John

OP did not tell us whether he will be using his money market account to send/buy via his Paypal account,or just for deposit.
so that 6 transfer rules could apply.
There are some Ebay sellers who buy many items for resale on EBay using his saving/MM accounts and rack up fees they can ill afford.
My bank charges $5 per withdrawal after 6 free withdrawals.

An ATM withdrawal is a withdrawal, period. Those count.

It's a national regulation so it applies to savings accounts with any financial institution. Apparently it's known as "Regulation D"
Quote:
The federal rule, also known as Reg D, comes from the Federal Reserve Board and puts a limit of six transactions per month on certain transfers and withdrawals from your savings or money market account.
Any money coming out of the account counts towards the 6 limit. Whether it's a cash withdrawal at an ATM, cash withdrawal at the bank, a transfer to your checking account, etc. If money leaves your savings (MM) account then it counts.

That's why I said just limit yourself to transferring money out of your money market accounts once a week. With my account I withdraw from Paypal every day so money comes into the MM account every day. Then at the end of the week I transfer all but about $500 to one of my checking accounts.


@Wilcoo - yes, it's a USA regulation
