I was doing exactly all of this with my PayPal account, and it was wonderful!
However, a week or so ago, I transferred some of my Airbnb earnings to my bank, and left some in PayPal to shop with PayPal. When I went to shop on PayPal, I had $0 (ZERO DOLLARS) balance. I took in a sharp breath, and messaged PayPal a few times to see if they could help me find my money. Crickets... and more crickets...
The thing is, I work very hard for my clams. It's not a whole lot, so I guess easier for me to notice. (When I search PayPal for solutions to my problem, MANY more people lost money too. And a lot more of it.) PayPal did not help them so much... maybe 1 person out of 25 or so got their money back. It apparently is VERY easy for people to take your money in PayPal. One guy even put the code to do it "out there".
Anyway, what I get from all these threads, is having the money sent to my bank is the only other option I have. I am not sure of Airbnb cyber-security, though, so I've held back on that.
I've gotten a LOT more help from Airbnb on stuff, than PayPal, so... but I thought I would look in my Community first. It's not like, I spend money on myself so much. I have horses, my sickly dogs, and I spend a LOT on supplies to improve and maintain my Airbnb space, so accounting should not be problem.
Many thanks for your solution, though! It worked for me for a while.
