How long can I leave money in my PayPal account-is there a cost or fee?

[PraireLake]

I would like to leave my money from my sales in my PayPal account until my current sales are over. Is there a time limit? I saw the "unclaimed" money is returned to the sender after a certain amount of time. What does that mean?

Are there additional fees for leaving my cash in the PayPal account balance?

Welcome to the boards!

I bring you three answers for three questions. 

1)  Leave it as long as you like.  If it sits dormant for a few years, we may legally have to send the funds to your state as abandoned property, so just don't go three years or more without logging in at all and you'll be good here. 

2)  Unclaimed funds are only if you do not accept or deny a payment.  If  you have a payment that has to be accepted or denied, we will notifiy you separately and you'll be able to see it in your History.

3)   Nope, no fees to leave the balance there.  Leave as much as you'd like!
