I'm curious to see if my comment stays posted in the Paypal community. ( THE LINK THAT GOT ME TO THE NEEDED PAGE, IS LISTED AT THE END OF THIS diatribe). I have been using Paypal for about 10 years. I have never had so much trouble finding the link to request a paper check, as I have with them. Paypal gives a reason why they do not have a direct link on your account page. It is thus, they do not want anyone to access your account and make it so easy for someone other than you to withdraw money from your account---EVEN YOU, evidently. Here is a route of links I took today for an instance--1) I logged in and up came my summary page (no Beta links as notified in the volunteer community page). 2) I clicked on "Send and Request." 3) Up comes the "Request money" link. Problem here is "YOU CANNOT REQUEST YOUR OWN MONEY." I tried this: 1) I logged in and up came my summary page (no Beta links as notified in the volunteer community page). 2) I clicked on the "Help," link at the bottom of the page, 3) Up comes the "Contact Paypal," page and I see "10 common questions," (Im thinking "requesting money," will be right there--wrong). 4) In the "Help Topics," column to the right is another link list--here it is? 5) I click on the "My Money," link and down comes a menu, I click on "Add or Withdraw Money." Remember now, I just want to request Paypal send me a paper check, of MY money. 6) There are 13 links which come up and not 1 of them says "Withdraw money via paper check from your Paypal account". getting frustrated by this point? 7) So, I click on "Withdraw Money,"---finally! So there are 3 sub topics to choose from: a) The basics, b) Bank transfer, and c) PayPal Debit MasterCard. No where is there a "Withdraw money via paper check." link. In the middle of the page, there is this option: Related Articles (1-5 of 18)--I sort through ALL those and "Withdraw money via paper check," never comes up. And of course up comes: Did this help? Yes No. There are many different links that you can open and not find the appropriate sequence of links. With all the experts in technology today, you would think someone would have come up with the direct link: "Withdraw money via paper check," to make requesting and GETTING YOUR money easy enough. Maybe I'm in the wrong business. I solved this challenge in a little over a decade and PAYPAL has not identified and fixed the most simple way possible to get your "OWN MONEY VIA CHECK." HERE IS WHAT I DID FIND THAT TOOK ME TO THE PAGE TO REQUEST MY PAPER CHECK. ON THE "WITHDRAW MONEY, LINK (#7 Above) under the option: Bank transfer, I noticed another withdraw money link highlighted in blue. What the heck, I may as well try this one---and 'bingo," up comes the 'WITHDRAW MONEY" Page that actually says:"REQUEST A CHECK FROM PAYPAL." CLICK ON THAT AND GO FROM THERE. If you read the entire message, I hope you found this helpful to get your money. Happy Paypaling!
