You would have to transfer the money that paypal owes to the bank.

That’s not clear enough to me but thanks.

You can add a checking account to Paypal. When you receive a payment, it shows up as a balance in Paypal. You can then transfer that money (clicking a button) to your linked checking account.

^ That, and here’s how.

Yeah – I figured it out now but the amount came up in Euros for some reason and I don’t want to enter my checking account so I asked my annoying relative to just send a check.

Thanks all!

Pssst Penguin, the check will be in Euros too !

@Tropical_Willie Naw – The initial payment was in dollars but Paypal somehow translated it into euros.

The Paypal account is set up for the country they live in, therefore in Europe do as Europeans.

@Tropical_Willie As I said this was in dollars and sent from an American.

Paypal is used to doing exchange rates. So, when you tell them to transfer into your checking account, they will automatically transfer it as US currency at the current exchange rate at the time of transfer.
