Just a heads up for anyone that has a PayPal account with some money in - they’re going to start charging £12 if you haven’t used or logged into your account in over a year 💸

I’ve got a bit of money in my PayPal account, but think I should probably move it into my savings instead…?
How do you use PayPal? Do you keep a balance in there?

I use mine for sites that accept PayPal, but not Amex, and/or sites where I am not comfortable disclosing my credit or debit card details.
Never keep a balance in the account. Always draw from my connected Amex.

Yeah, the money I make from eBay/ Depop sales goes into my PayPal. Perhaps I should start withdrawing straight away too then.
Why do you wish you didn’t have it? @jase
