? I have not needed that service. It might be helpful for some people at certain times.

Nope. I can wait whatever wait time it is to receive those funds.

Eh. I could not make heads or tails of this service because if I have a debit card with money on it why would I really need to link it to my bank account unless I was worried about a bounced check or some sort of bill IDK? Now if they offered transfers from PayPal balance to my bank account in 30 minutes, that might be useful.

I do work for a few that pay only by Paypal, but they also happen to pay fairly quickly, so it all evens out as far as I am concerned.

i agree. i dont live paycheck to paycheck or paypal to paypal so i dont need service but i guess its good that that offer it for people who need it. people outside of ms probably get much larger amounts of $$ in one payment than we do.
A quarter is awfully cheap compared to other fees these days. That said, it wouldn't interest me for my normal transfers. If I got a payment of several thousand I might be antsy enough to part with the 25 cents, LOL.

I would not, especially since I have the Paypal debit card and can use that. One of the MSCs sent a survey asking if you'd rather get paid on a Visa card but you had to pay a fee on that card. I voted "no" on that.
I get Paypal transfers to my bank within a day.....just got one today from yesterday...no, I won't pay fees.

Live consciously....
I'm with Irene_L.A. If I needed the money for some reason, extra fast, I'd probably just pay whatever it is with PayPal funds.
I just did! It would depend on the amount though...the higher the fee, the less likely I would be to pay extra to have the money transferred right away. A quarter, I am definitely okay with.
I get in one day now as well. At first it took three days. I wonder if you have to build up a reputation with them or if they just changed their policy.

I could see it being worth that in an emergency. Normally i can wait, or just use my PayPal debit card.

I think I needed coffee. I thought it was suggesting wire transfers like I use debit card A from Wells Fargo to send money to bank account B at Wood Forrest. I see now that I believe if you have your debit card linked up, you can use that as a "deposit" card and send your PayPal money over through to your bank account. But Paypal has their own debit card... and the option at many locations to checkout through the Verifone on the card machine with a Paypal pin.

i use bank debit card when i have to because it earns rewards. paypal $ gets transferred right away into biz checking acct
Uber is doing that also, offering a debit card with a fee to transfer money quicker. Just another scam to get their hands on what ends up being thousands of dollars in the end. Uh, uh, not me thank you very much.
btw, so I'm driving for uber, get a pick up to one of my grocery shop assignments far away in the valley, also picking up as a shopper for a client after the shop and driver my passenger back 3 blocks away from home. Love it when the stars line up.
I'm guessing this is the first step, and they're waiting to see the reaction. It will creep into other areas, and soon we will be paying for EVERY transfer.

A quarter is not a gigantic fee. However, I believe that any fee to get one's money is wrong. I won't pay it. And I fear a slippery slope on this endeavor. That said, ordinary ACHs from Paypal hit my bank in a few hours anyway.
I transfer money back and forth between my bank and PayPal without paying a fee, so I have no need for this service. However, as others have noted, 25 cents is not bad.
