In reply to Newlyweds on a Budget. I couldn't believe all of my little eBay sales, cash back and other 'side ventures' added up to $4000. Not bad!

In reply to Little miss moneybags. I just read about the freezing of PayPal accounts and decided to move my money immediately! It should transfer to my bank in the next couple of days. I'll earn interest on it and feel better about keeping it there.

In reply to Squeezer @Personal Finance Success. Oh yeah it is! It took a long time to add up to $4000, but it was worth the wait!

It’s still nice to have that large sum of money!

I move my Paypal money every month or so. PayPal has a track record of freezing user’s ENTIRE accounts in any dispute, not just the money in dispute. I also feel that it’s not quite as secure as a bank account (especially if the PayPal password is the same as any other password, such as one for email) and as you said, no interest. Rates aren’t high but $4000 would give noticeable interest each month!!

Congrats on racking up so much in your PayPal account–but I’d suggest moving it now and not waiting to hit $5000!!

I would still call $4000 to be a pretty sizable amount of pocket change!
