Paypal As A Payment Method In Upwork

PayPal is an online money transfers serve as electronic alternatives to traditional paper methods like checks and money orders. It is one of the largest internet payment options. 

To start, please register with www.paypal.com and complete the info needed. To be able to withdraw the money, you will need a debit or credit card. You can also use it for online shopping or online payments. Once everything is set-up, you can now link your PayPal account as a billing method. To do this, here are the steps:

1. Click the Settings icon, and then click Billing Methods.
2. Click the Add a Billing Method button.
3. Click the Set Up button for PayPal and fill in the form.
4. You’ll be returned to your billing methods list. Confirm that the correct method is set as primary.
5. You may add multiple PayPal accounts, if desired.

Paypal is not available to all clients as a billing method so the options to use PayPal will only appear in the Add a Billing Method form if it is available to you.

Please also note that in order to use PayPal as a billing method, you must have a verified Paypal account and have at least  one PayPal-linked billing method that isn’t eCheck such as credit card, debit card or any bank accounts. 

Upwork charges a $1 fee per transfer to PayPal. Then transferring to your bank account, there will be no fee if you withdraw above the recommended amount which I think is P7000.00. If you withdraw below the said amount, PayPal will charge you P50.00. Some banks may also charge fees also for electronic funds transfers. You can contact your bank directly for more information.
