PayPal Replies to Malaysia Member

Filed in: E-commerce Solution, Make Money Online, Malaysia, PayPal, Technology — September 22nd, 2004

After I posted “PayPal Accept Malaysian“, many users found that eventhough they can send fund into their account but they are unable to withdraw money from PayPal account.

Many asked, “How to withdraw money?”. For the question, I send an email to PayPal and got their reply.

Here is the complete content of the reply:

Thanks for contacting PayPal. I appreciate the opportunity to assist you with your questions.

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, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom. Since you would register 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

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Sincerely,
Lori
PayPal Community Support
PayPal, an eBay Company

Conclusion:

  • Malaysian can fund in money to their PayPal account.
  • Malaysian cannot withdraw money from their PayPal account.

Possible solutions:

  • Open an account in accepted countries as mentioned in the email.
  • Share PayPal account with your friend who is in the accepted countries.
  • Use other alternative free online payment processing companies(MoneyBookers, Ikobo, StormPay and YowCow).

Update: Now you can withdraw PayPal money to any Malaysia bank accounts. Click here for more information.

    What if we open a singapore maybank account to accept paypal and later on transfer from paypal to singapore account and then transfer to malaysian maybank? But do we need a singapore credit card? Or we just use our local maybank card?

    @malaysia football fan in paypal misery: during the ebay explained 2006, eBay (mother company of PayPal) promised to accept Malaysia bank accounts in late of 2007. But I do not give much hope on their promise though..

    hi liewcf

    i am a malaysian
    i registered my paypal account and tried to link and confirm my al-rajhi bank debit card ( international bank arab based). however paypal is unable to confirm it. when i contacted paypal customer service via email they replied that it was due to a wrong cvv2 number.

    to my knowledge a cvv2 number is a 3 digit no. written behind ur credit card/ debit card in black and white. i posses enough education to read it.

    i went to the the al-rajhi bank to enquire . they said that there should be no problems registering. mind you that all of this bank’s debit cards are online enabled upon application.

    the PROBLEM is :
    i cant even confirm my card
    I have tried another debit card from same bank and still cant be confirmed

    LiewCF,

    Please refer to Jehan’s post on 17-06-2008. I have the same problem. This morning I applied and received my MayBank Visa Debit Card. When I wanted to link with my PayPal account it was rejected. Any solution?

    @Ainuddin Mohamad: I don’t think Maybank visa debit card is ready for online transaction yet. It said will be ready for online transaction in May 2008 but seems like it has been delayed.
