Paypal Address?

I have an account with Paypal, and I've been looking everywhere for this term on their site. I even tried asking their customer service about it, and they only replied with tips on how to verify that your email address is correct... not much help.

This may be a really stupid question, but what specifically does "paypal address" refer to?

Thanks,
Nate

HI Nate,
That's how you get paid. Pond5 pays via paypal or a check.
Just put in your paypal email address in the blank.

Nate, It's also your confirm shipping address . Some companies on ebay will not ship items purchased by customers if your address is unconfirmed. When you signed up with paypal you gave them your address did you not? Here is some info you might not know. If you signed up for the personal account you can only make withdrawals or transfers of $500.00 a month or over several months. You"ll be required to sign up for either a Premier or Business Account to accept funds over the $500.00 USD limit.

Ah, that makes sense. So it's just to check my registration info, I guess.

I had no idea about the $500 limit... jeez that's pretty low... thanks for the warning!

When you've hit the $500.00 limit and the next month you have income of say 75.00 USD and you try to transfer that money to your bank account it's not going to happen until you upgrade your paypal account. Once you upgrade to Premier Account they charge you a % + 0.30 USD for each transaction.

My advice would be to also get the PayPal debt card, you can access the money you get right away instead of waiting on a transfer to your account. The transfers take 3-5 days if you need the money now it's nice to be able to get it.

Another thing I haven't figured out yet. P5 and SS use paypal payments, I get the entire amount with no fees from Paypal. Another agency also uses Paypal but with them Paypal charges me a fee plus percentage to accept the payment. Seems like they should all be the same but they are not.

SS says they pay the Paypal charges for you, I'm guessing P5 does to.
The other site must not.

Jake, No they don't

Bryan, 3-5 days isn't so bad as this isn't my only source of income.

If any of you are in a tight spot and need us to do a payout immediately, on another date than the 15th, we're not completely hopeless to talk to. We have done this when asked to, but naturally it's preferred you go the normal route as we generate a big text file from the database that we just send to paypal/moneybookers and then it's all automatic.

Best regards,
Marcus
