Can you pay paypal by mail

Yes, you can pay PayPal by mail, but it's not the most common or recommended method. PayPal is primarily an online payment service, and it's designed for instant transactions. However, if you need to make a payment to someone who doesn't have access to the internet or prefers to receive payments by mail, you can use the following methods:

  1. PayPal Cash Card: You can load cash onto your PayPal Cash Card, which is a debit card linked to your PayPal account. You can then use the card to make a payment by mail. To do this, you'll need to:
    • Load cash onto your PayPal Cash Card at a participating retailer or ATM.
    • Write a check or money order payable to the recipient.
    • Include the recipient's PayPal email address or invoice number on the check or money order.
    • Mail the payment to the recipient.
  2. Check or Money Order: You can also send a check or money order directly to the recipient. To do this:
    • Write a check or money order payable to the recipient.
    • Include the recipient's PayPal email address or invoice number on the check or money order.
    • Mail the payment to the recipient.
  3. PayPal's Payment by Mail Service: PayPal offers a payment by mail service, which allows you to send a payment to someone who doesn't have a PayPal account. To use this service:
    • Log in to your PayPal account and go to the "Send" tab.
    • Enter the recipient's email address or phone number.
    • Select "Payment by Mail" as the payment method.
    • Follow the prompts to complete the payment.

Keep in mind that PayPal may charge a fee for payment by mail, and the recipient may need to wait a few days for the payment to arrive. Additionally, PayPal recommends using the payment by mail service only for small, one-time payments, as it's not a secure or efficient way to make payments.
