I have money in my PayPal account and historically I can request my money via a paper check, however, I can't seem to do that anymore. Has PayPal stopped offering paper checks?

Hi @okccj1982,

 

Welcome to the Community! 
 

Before you withdraw money by check, you must confirm an address or become Verified by adding and confirming a bank account. You can confirm your address and request a check immediately by clicking Add an Address.

 

Here’s how to withdraw money from your PayPal Balance account by check:

  1. Click Transfer Money below your PayPal balance. 
  2. Click Request a check by mail.
  3. Enter the amount and click Next.
  4. Follow the next steps.

Your check should arrive within 5 to 10 business days.
 

Note:

  • There’s a $1.50 USD fee for each check withdrawal.
  • After you’ve requested a withdrawal, it can’t be canceled.
  • The minimum you can withdraw by check is $1.51 USD.
  • Checks can be cashed or deposited. If you don't deposit your check within 180 days of the date of issuance, we'll return the money to your balance. The withdrawal fee isn’t refunded.

Hopefully, this helps!
