Yes, as soon as the money appears in your PayPal account you can get it. You can withdraw at an ATM, but pay a fee to PayPal. IN the US it's $ 2 I think. You may also pay your bank an ATM fee.
I just use mine everywhere. Buy groceries, online purchases, just bought a new printer on Monday. Get a 1% rebate in my account, also. Hardly ever transfer money to the bank and never use the ATM.
