Withdrawing funds from your PayPal account may sometimes be difficult especially if you have a business account but want the cheque drawn in your personal name. PayPal would then require you to downgrade your account to Premier or Personal account. It also takes between 4 - 6 days for PayPal to process withdrawal requests. Alternatively you can use Xoom to transfer funds from PayPal and usually you will recieve funds within 72 hours. This works ven if you have a business account and you want the cheque in your personal name.

When you want to transfer money using Xoom, you key in the receipient’s name and fund your account through credit card, debit card or your PayPal account. Once Xoom verifies the payment, the money is transferred to the recepient account (in this case yourself).
