The ability to transfer your Google Play balance to other accounts and other payment methods is not officially supported.
But there are some underhand techniques that some individuals claim to use. They are not advised because they might be against Google Play's terms of service or entail fraud or frauds.
Some of these techniques consist of:
Online exchange of Google Play gift cards and vouchers for cash- If you still have unused gift cards or redemption codes, this might work. This could be dangerous, though, since you might run into dishonest buyers who don’t pay or deal cards or codes that have been compromised.
Purchasing digital products from the Google Play Store to resell them for money online- If you purchase in-demand software, games, movies, books, or subscriptions then resell them on eBay or Amazon. This might work. However, you run the risk of breaking the terms of service of the platforms of the content providers.
Using apps or websites from third parties that promise to exchange your Google Play balance for cash. If you can locate a reliable app or website that provides this service and costs a fair price, this might work. But that could of give hackers or con artists access to your personal information and payment information.
