Dear xxxxx,

Thank you for taking the time to contact us with your concerns. I am happy to assist you further.

The country listed with your home mailing address must coincide with the bank account you attempt to add. At this time we have expanded our bank withdrawals to include the banking systems of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom. Since you have registered your PayPal account under Malaysia, the only bank account you will be able to add is a U.S. bank account from a branch located within the United States.

PayPal is constantly working to expand and improve our services for our customers. We hope to be expanding our bank transfer capabilities to include more countries, but due to the complexities of global finance, we cannot give a timetable for this expansion.

Please note:

· Members in some countries may not use PayPal to receive
payments, and may only send payments

· Withdrawals to a foreign bank in U.S. denominated funds are not available with your PayPal Account. Only U.S. bank accounts, from a branch located within the U.S., denominated in U.S. Dollars can be added to a PayPal account

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us
again.

Sincerely,
Carolyn
PayPal Global Services
PayPal, an eBay Company

It simply means "NO" you can't withdraw funds outside US.

after all the verification processes are done with, paypal will "reimburse" a usd1.75 or something close to that which they had charged earlier. i noticed that the account balance is substracted on the next transaction; ie. a payment of 123 will go like 121.25 + 1.75 (account balance). i'm not sure how to tell paypal not to "disturb" the balance

Paypal will charge the receiving party .....something like handling charges I think. You don't get charged for sending though. I've seen people asking to add something like 3-4% for payment with paypal.

Ok guys...if you're still interested in using Paypal and get your credit card (Visa/Master) verified without having the trouble to subscribe to Amex,,here is how you do it.... after signing up you just click on top left hand corner "Expanded Use" button and Paypal will do an "experimental charge" on your credit card (Master/Visa)....wait for your next card statement and check the charge by Paypal with a code which reads "PAYPAL ####* member" for an amount US1.95. Login one more time go back to same page and key in that silly 4 digit number and voala! your account is verified. Good luck comrades!

not da momento mate.....not linked with a bank in the country yet...unless you have a bank account in SG you could sign up as a singaporean

and voila ! you could fund your Paypal via bank account.... otherwise credit card is da only funding option.

You could pay your buddies via Paypal if they have one a/c with them.....and you could not transfer money from your bank nor pay cash to add credit to your Paypal a/c...they'll only charge your verified credit card if there is insufficient credits in your account for all your payment transactions through them. You could also receive payments from ur buddies too but you'll be charged a fee close to 4% for receiving. It is free when you send.

The only down side you could not withdraw the credit from the a/c 'cos they're not linked to any of our local banks yet. Despite this...it is very convenient and quick payment process for purchases via internet. Ur credit card exposure is also being limited to only one party via a secured site.

Perhaps if you have a friend in SG and has Paypal...you could send him the money and get him to cash in for you loh......marfan.
