That's one of the main disadvantages of keeping money in PayPal, it does not offer interest on the funds held in your account. Also in some cases, the account may be frozen without any prior notice,

Yes, I remember a colleague in an African country whose account was frozen and since that mishap she must rely to cryptocurrencies earnings instead of dollars. I can't imagine the losses when keeping money in a processor instead of banks, especially in the case of a considerable amount.

In India, Paypal users cannot keep their money in their Paypal account. It is usually withdrawn to their bank account within 24 hours automatically, though in a few cases, the withdrawal may get delayed.

Yes I have heard about this form another India person before. When I saw it back then I was Abit surprised about this. Why is it like for Indians though? Is it some sort of policy?

It was a government policy of asking paypal to directly transfer the balance of account holders to their bank account so that taxes would be paid correctly. Yet it was poorly implemented and a lot of frauds faking bank account ownership got government jobs.

It's really concerning that Paypal accounts can be frozen without any prior notice. This can create significant inconvenience and potential financial losses for people, especially if they have a considerable amount of money stored in their account.

So Indian Paypal works exactly as Mercosur Paypal. 24 hours is the same timing we wait to automatically receive our Paypal payments to our favorite bank account (being the delays only exceptions). Maybe India and Mercosur countries share the same financial policies concerning processors like Paypal.

I agree, PayPal is a reputable and secure platform for storing money, but it may not be the best option if you are looking to earn interest on your funds.

I would prefer to save my money in the bank to to save it in my paypal account. This is because one gets interest by saving money in the bank but i don't think it is so with PayPal.
