help for paypal n00b

[steve21]

If I get paid with paypal, how do I get my cash? My paypal account is tied to my debit card, which is tied to my bank account, so is the money placed into my debit card's account?

Transfer it to your bank account.

Yeah, when someone pays you via PayPal, by default the money just sits there as a positive balance in your PayPal account. It's not automatically transferred to your bank account. But then you can transfer some/all of it to your bank account using their website.

Please don't tie PayPal to your actual, every day use bank account in any way.
