Topic Wiki

This is the thread where you can ask any random question you have. Feel free to ask even the most basic questions that you otherwise might be embarrassed to ask. This is the thread for beginners, so veterans here will treat you nicely. Ask a beginner's Q in some other threads and no guarantee of that same treatment. ;)
People here want to help, so just have some patience, follow the tips below and hopefully someone will help you when they have a chance.

If you looking for a particular thread you once saw and can't find it, this is not the place to ask. Check out Help Me Find It and ask there.

How to ask a question in this thread:
Click the blue reply button at the top or bottom of the page, type your question, and click post!

Some helpful tips for eliciting answers from other members:
- Keep your question short and precise. No one wants to read a megillah.
- The more questions you ask in one post, the less likely any will be answered. People are willing to answer a question or two, but if you ask all the questions that apply to your particular issue, you're expecting to be spoonfed. Members don't like holding out the spoon, so ask accordingly.

But then how does everyone that manages other people serve be accounts get the money out? I thought transferring to your bank every time was worse then just doing bill pay to a cc. After all isn't the point of serve to load money and use bill pay?
You can transfer money from one serve to another, but i wouldn't do that.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

so you link your bank account even though it's a different name then the serve account?
I guess sending checks is not so weird because it's different names and addresses
Do you do bill paymalso or no?
I said having a bank in THEIR name. Then qp from there. Ya for sure!

from serve, not paypal? but that's a lot of cash to be pulling and then putting back into the bank, that sounds suspicious to me from a bank perspective

Transfer into PayPal and remove from ATM over the course of a month it's not suspicious do it a few times

Isn't there a fee from PayPal to take out of an ATM?
