Transferring your Amazon seller account’s payment to a PayPal account directly has become quite impossible because of the hard and fast terms of Amazon’s policies. Amazon does not support transferring payment to PayPal. So how will you withdraw your payments from Amazon? Well, you can do it through a linked account between Amazon and PayPal. In a word, you have to transfer your Amazon payments to PayPal through a valid US bank account. It may sound difficult, but it’s a pretty straightforward process.
