do it with a closed account like elikay:

1. NSF fee incurred with SunTrust.
2. Negative reporting to ChexSystems or a similar company.
3. Getting banned on paypal for abuse. is that on your social? if so at what price...

Assuming you have a closed account on your paypal.

did you make the calculations for charging it through a cc processing @ your local (coffee) shop? are there adverse effects involved?

Gotcha. I could totally see BofA or Citi hitting you with an NSF after the account is closed. I'm not saying they will for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised.

How do you now cash-out your paypal balance?
I use that one for buying only. or you get cash with their debit card and swipe it as debit and get cash back.

I recently added a bank account to my paypal account, and sent someone a 'gift' of $800 drawing on that account. For some reason that account didn't work so they took the $ from my CC without charging any fees!

Anyone know if you can still send money as a gift with a CC as source without fees?

AFAIK you can't with Paypal, but you can with Amazon Payments (up to $1000/month).
