Activity: 0% Longevity: 89% | | how to get money out without a bank account
on the forums someone said this is a good way to get money out from paypal
go to walgreens.com and buy a waqlgreens gift card using your paypal balance. then when you get the gift card go to the walgreens store and use the walgreens gift card to buy a visa prepaid card
but i have a problem. isnt the visa card only for buying stuff? you cannot get cash back, and you cannot get money from the atm. am i correct? so if i have a $1000 i have to go to walgreens and buy $1000 in toilet paper? but that sucks, i want CASH!!!
does anybody hae any other ways to get your money out?
(to get paypal plugin you need a bank account linked to paypal, and the whole point is i dont want to link a bank account)
ps i just thought of another problem. with the walgreens gift card, if your paypal address is ⊗⊗⊗⊗, will walgreens ship it to your real address, or they only accept your paypal address?

There are several ways to get money out of a PayPal account. You can get the PayPal debit card and use it at an ATM. You can get a merchant account and sell your self an item. Keep reading the forums there are several other alternatives as well.

with the merchant account, i am not sure what you mean, do you mean get a new user id on ebay and sell something to my old id? i could do it once or twice, but doesnt ebay detect these things?
believe me i have been all over the forums and i cannot find out. can you tell me more?

Well if you're in the US, why can't you open a new Bank Account? There are dozens of online options for you. It would make things a lot easier.

If walgreens has the pick up in store opition u might try that but then again they will probly want a matching id as well as a paypal invoice with the name and address on it
But if you are able to get the money out onto a walgreens gift card you could use it to buy a visa gift card then sale it on ebay and accept money orders or cash or even if you have a legit paypal account under your info with bank u can get money that away.
At the most u will just take a $3-$8 loss on $100 in giftcards

Does anyone know if you can list for sale cards such as Visa or MC prepaid cards on Craigslist? If so, maybe that would work.

Gift cards go for 90-100+% its retail value. I was distro'ing abercrombie and fitch gift cards and they would go above what they were sometimes!
Buying a merchant account would be the most efficient way to access your funds faster.

Right now you can get between 110-120% of the value of your VISA gift cards on ebay because people are buying them to take advantage of the MS Live refund checks.

Update. I went to Walgreens to buy a prepaid card and it was a "Cash Only" purchase. The cashier didn't understand why, but she said her boss told her it was new policy for all giftcards, not just the prepaid credit cards. The lottery is like that here too. Cash only in many places.

someone here has recently suggested in another thread -buy something 'near cash' with your paypal fund,like gold coin,gold bar.
and sell it to your local dealer or back to the seller like those big precious metal dealers when gold price rises.
APMEX is large precious metal dealer which has its own website,but also sell on Ebay,it will buy gold from you and pay you cash,check them out.
if you are an Ebay seller,you can also buy something nice on Ebay,and resell them later-sterling silver coffee pot,tea pot,chocolate pot,cigarette cases,antique watches etc.
or even buy a nice Samsung or Apple cell phones,and other electronic stuff on BBY website.
AMZN does not accept Paypal

I just check APMEX website,they do accept Paypal but you have to pay more ,wiretransfer and cash pay less.
take a one ounce Kruggerrand,if you pay with Paypal,you have to pay $40 more .
when you decide to sell it back to them,you need to get a quote from them,and use their discount shipping with insurance with UPS,they will pay you cash.
you will lose money buying and selling unless gold goes up a lot,but this is one way to spend your Paypal fund

as for getting a Paypal debit card and use it at ATM,Paypal will mail this debit card to your home address and he does not have the correct address ,besides not sure if Paypal would ask for his SS number.
Paypal has different debit cards,one taps your Paypal balance backed with bank fund and he does not want to link a bank,so thats out/
another debit card which costs 5.95 or 4.95 a month,would need his SSN and permanent address so it can mail it to him.
it looks like the only way is to BUY SOMETHING !

you can also try linking a WMT debit card,the kind which has a fee each month and you can link it to your Paypal fund and move money back and forth,some claim it is very slow.
nOT sure if WMT will require you to give them your SSN
