When taking paid surveys online, you can get paid in many different ways – for example, in cash, products, Bitcoin, or gift cards.
Many people (including myself) prefer getting paid in cash when taking surveys. One of the easiest ways to get your cash paid out from survey sites is through PayPal.
However, not all survey sites offer cash payment and not all sites offer it through PayPal.
So in this article, I will give you a list of the best survey sites that pay through PayPal in 2021, so you can easily focus on these if you prefer this reward.
I have tested and been paid by all the sites myself, so I know they are kegit and will actually pay you.

Why use PayPal to get paid for surveys?
Before getting to the list of the best sites, let’s first just quickly go over what PayPal is, and why so many people prefer getting paid for taking surveys this way if you are new to taking paid surveys.
First of all, PayPal is a very reliable platform and is very secure and available in most countries. For that reason, it is also the payment method used by most survey panels that offer cash rewards.
PayPal is in general also pretty strict when it comes to the companies they work with, so it is in many cases also a sign that a survey site is legit, if it offers payouts through PayPal.
Another advantage of using PayPal is that it is very easy to use, you can have an account for free (visit PayPal’s website to get a free account), and because of its popularity, you can use it as a payment method at a lot of different places.
So whether you want to spend your reward on buying products online, pay for different subscriptions, buy flights, or have the money transferred to your local bank account, it is super easy and fast.
These are some of the reasons PayPal is a very popular reward option on survey sites, and also the reason it is my personal favorite way to get paid for taking surveys.
How does payment through PayPal for surveys work?
If a survey panel offers PayPal surveys, you can just select this as a payment method in the payout or reclaim reward section. Then when you reclaim your reward, you will get paid that way.
In short, the 3 steps are:
- Take surveys
- Reach payout threshold
- Claim your earnings through PayPal
PayPal uses your email address to identify you, and when a survey site asks for your PayPal details to know where to transfer the money, it is just the email you have used to register at PayPal you have to give. So it is super easy.
Be aware that some survey sites automatically think the email address you registered at their site with is also the email you have for PayPal. So if you have several email addresses, be sure to coordinate this, so you will get paid to the right account.
You can, however, connect several email adresses to your PayPal account so this can be a solution if you have registered for a survey site with an email that is not your PayPal email.
Be aware that on some survey sites, you even have to have a PayPal account to be able to sign up, as this is the only form of payment they offer.
How long does it take to get paid through PayPal?
How long it takes from you have requested a payout from a survey panel until the money is in your PayPal account really depends on the survey panel.
In most cases, it takes a couple of days. But there are also cases where it can take weeks and other surveys that pay instantly via PayPal, which means you will get the money into your account more or less right away. So it depends on the specific sites you are a member of.
The payout threshold is different on each survey site. On some sites, you only have to earn $1 to get paid through PayPal, and on others, you can have to wait until you have earned $30 or more.
On the list below, you can see what the payout threshold is on the different sites, so you will know how soon you can get paid. You can also read how long the processing time approximately is on some of the sites, so you know approximately what to expect.
Do you need a business or individual PayPal account?
One of the questions I often get asked is if you need a PayPal business account or an individual account if you want to take surveys for PayPal money.
And in most cases you just need an individual account.
So no need to create a business account or upgrade your individual account.
However, if you already have a business account, you can also use this to receive payment from survey sites.
Is PayPal the only way to get paid in cash for surveys?
Before getting to the list of panels that offers this payment method, I just want to mention that there are other ways to get money for doing surveys than just PayPal.
PayPal is by far the most popular and the method offered by most survey panels, but there are also panels that do not offer this or offer additional methods as well.
Some panels offer payment in cash through check and others offer through other online payment platforms like Payoneer, Skrill, Tango, direct bank transfer, and Paytoo. On the list below, you will be able to see which survey panels offer other payment methods as well.
Be aware that many of the sites also offer other earning opportunities than just paid surveys. So if you want to boost your PayPal earnings, it can be a good idea to use some of the other options as well – the sites that offer additional earning methods are called GPT sites (get-paid-to).
On these sites you can, for example, also earn PayPal money by watching videos, taking offers, participating in free contests, downloading apps, playing games, clicking ads, and more.

More info: Read full TimeBucks review
Short summary:
TimeBucks offers several ways to earn money. Not only paid surveys, but also a number of different ways like offers, watching videos, reading emails, watching content, and a couple of things like for example mining cryptocurrencies.
Not all of the opportunities give very high rewards, but you can also find some opportunities that are very good, and some of it is just very entertaining to participate in. One of the great things about TimeBucks is that it is available worldwide. It will, of course, vary how many surveys or offers you get depending on where in the world you live, but many of the other opportunities can be done by anyone, which is great.
Once you have reached the payout threshold of $10, the payment will automatically be processed, and this happens once a week. Just be aware that Timebucks do no longer pay out directly to PayPal so you have to go through an extra step and do it through AirTM (one of their their pther payout options) if you only want to be paid via PayPal. If this sounds like too much of a hassle for you, just use some of the other sites on this list instead.
