new to paypal

[tlmerw]

I sold my first item through Paypal. Sent out the invoice and they paid. How do I get the money? I went to withdraw funds but it asked for my checking account info. Is that something you have to do before you can start getting the money? I pay things online wtih paypal but wasnt sure. It says I have a balance but its still not in my checking account.

Hello tlmerw, 

Welcome to the Forums. 

Before you withdraw your funds to your PayPal account you will have to add your bank account.  You can add your bank account by logging into your PayPal account, click on the profile link under My account, click My money, click update next to Bank accounts and continue to add bank account. Once you get your bank account added you can withdraw your funds.
