Full Paypal Support in 2007

iOS 27 Beta Is Out, But You'll Need to Join a Waitlist to Try the New Siri AI Everything Apple Announced at WWDC 2026 Image Playground, Photo Spacial Reframe and New Editing Tools in iOS 27 Apple Puts a Siri Camera Mode on iPhone, Visual Intelligence Across All Platforms Safari Gets AI Tab Organization, Notify Me, and Custom Extensions in iOS 27

Dustin Cheng reports in his blog that eBay promised full Paypal functionality in the Philippines by 2007.

Another interesting query came from another eBay veteran who suggested that since PayPal is coming next year ( YES! eBay & PayPal promised that full PayPal support is coming in 2007!!! YEY!), why don’t they come out with a PayPal Prepaid system that would definitely be embraced by the prepaid loving Filipinos. Kudos!

I missed this event last November because I was too busy then and totally forgot all about it. The Paypal issue is actually the main reason I wanted to go and ask them personally.

It’s good too hear the plans are on the way and it’s coming sooner than I expected.

What’s “PayPal”? I don’t remember having a “Pal” by the name of “Pay”.

If they do give full Philippine service, then that will be a surprise. If by the end of 2007 they did not live up to their statements, then that isn’t a surprise.

December 2007 will come in just more than a couple of months from now. So, where’s my fully functional Paypal account?! :P

with the speed by which Google Checkout is kicking PayPal’s butt in the payment processing department…maybe we should look to Google to bring a C2C payment solution :)

First to market my ass…

Not everybody has a visa or mastercard. But do you think Payeasy is in trouble? Paypal supports mobile cash so it’s up to Smart or Globe now.

Based on my experience with PayPal while running an offshore company, I don’t believe anything they say unless it’s a statement of record.

Where do we find the official word for full Paypal support for 2007?

elmer · 20 years ago

Prepaid PayPal is definitely a good concept specially if it is integrated with ebay, e.i. you can’t bid more than what you have on your PayPal acct. i’ve experienced people would bid and win then ended up not fulfilling the bid final value.

Prepaid PayPal is an interesting concept, but they would need to write new code, have a new business plan, etc… would they do that just for the Philippines? Or perhaps they would look for other markets for it.
