    Default e-bay and debt

    I'm so excited my husband work was cleaning house and gave him some items they didn't want to deal with and were going to throw away. We put them on e-bay last night ( I didn't want to deal with e-bay but he insisted) Today they sold for 4500.00 before shiping.
    OMG right on to debt it will go. The only thing is if I remember right pay-pal will only let you pull $500.00 a month in less you are a bussines. I guess I'll figure it out .

    If you can help with pay pal let me know.

    I'm so happy

    Please do use caution - paypal is, as I'm given to understand, becoming a very heavily used tool by scammers who will bid, "pay", get the item, then dispute and get their money back.

    That warning aside, congrats!!!
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    Congratulations. Just make sure you research the tax implications and put back enough to pay any income tax you might owe on this great little windfall. Hopefully you won't owe, I have no idea but be safe and investigate for yourself.

    I think you can get a PayPay debit card, then you can spend as much as you want. They have information on it on their site.

    I have a PP debit card, and that is exactly how it works. Because my PP account is also tied to a bank account, I can use the debit card as a "credit" card and pull from my checking account, if necessary.
