A person who owes me money wants to pay me via PayPal.  We both have PayPal accounts, but I have never used mine this way before -- all I done is pay for online purchases via PayPal.    Is there any cost to either of us if he sends me money from his linked checking account and I transfer these funds out of my PayPal account and into my linked checking account.??.  ...

I was pretty irate about this when I found out.   PayPal customer service actually came through for me though -- kind of shocking -- but hey, it's been a while since I last attempted to call them, so it's possible that they've improved. Kudos to the customer service rep who helped me out anyway.   Here's how you opt out:   1) Go to PayPal My Account (homescreen) 2) Hover your mouse over "Profile" and click "More Options" 3) Under the Selling Preferences column (the right-hand column), click "Shipping Preferences" 4) Under "UPS information", click "remove existing UPS account information" ...

Furthermore, all I did was decide to send it to the buyer through Paypal UPS. You have a choice with Paypal as to how you will send it. Because I wasn't sure how it would weigh out, I simply said regular ground as my only choice for buyer, and in the description you could write shipping will be exact amount according to ground rates or any other way the buyer wants it sent. I didn't do that, I estimated it and gave a definite price in my listing, but did not specify UPS. Anything that is too heavy I will use UPS because it's cheaper than Priority and it is insured up to a certain amount through UPS. So again, yes, I did receive a discount going through UPS/Paypal. I think Paypal still offers you a choice when you get to the shipping part regardless of whether you choose UPS as your primary sender. ... View more
