I thought when you accepted a payment in Paypal, it stayed in Paypal or you could transfer it to your bank. This still seems true, but then why do I have to set up a Paypal Cash account? I was going to go ahead and get one but the info panel about fees scared me :huh: I already have my bank linked in my Paypal account and have a credit card as backup, but it wanted me to link my bank or a card again. The whole thing was very confusing.
So in order to have money in your Paypal wallet, I guess? You need Paypal Cash. What's the difference?
I just use Paypal like a debit card and it takes it right from my bank. The payment I got was transferred to my bank, but in the future I'd like to just leave the money in Paypal. I'm going to take another look at it and see if I can figure things out, but any advice/thoughts would be appreciated.
edit: Another thing I just noticed - the most recent payment was whole, no fees taken. Does that mean they sent it friends & family? (sorry, I'm new to receiving payments)

I dunno. I have yet to run into this, but I thought I've received money in 2019. eh. -- I think this FAQ covers it.

To use balance features, consumers with a personal PayPal account need to set up a balance account, which will have the same login and password as their personal PayPal account. You can get a balance account in several ways. For example, if someone sends you money and you don’t yet have a balance account, you’ll see an Accept the Money button. Once you click on it, you’ll see two options: Transfer it to your bank and Keep it in PayPal. Click Keep it in PayPal and follow the steps to get set up with PayPal Cash.
