The funds will always go to your PayPal account balance first.

This is what you can do with the funds:
* Leave the money in your Account Balance.
* Withdraw it to your Bank Account (free)
* Request a paper check (there's a fee to process the check and can only be delivered to a physical street address - not a PO Box)
* Withdraw at an ATM using a PayPal Mastercard Debit Card (fees may apply depending on the ATM's owner).

 

As we don't know the status of your account, if it's verified, the funds will be deposited in your account balance.  If your accout is unverified, PayPal can hold the funds for up to 21 days.  Look for a record of the transaction in your account Activity section - it should tell you the status - if it says "pending" that means that the transaction is under review and when complete, PayPal will release the money.
