Send & Receive payments via Paypal in the Philippines


Sign up for Paypal in the Philippines!. You can withdraw an amount not exceeding $500 per month to any debit, credit card or directly into your Philippine bank accounts. You will just need the bank codes and savings account number.

At long last, Paypal’s promise to allow receiving funds into Philippine accounts have been fulfilled. Just today, reports have been circulating in the previous post here about the development.

I did a money transfer from an old and verified Premier account into my new Philippine Paypal account and it works. From the Paypal Help Pages, the Philippine flag is now displayed under “Send. Receive. Withdraw to a U.S. Bank Account or a card.” along with 22 other countries.

Paypal Philippines

The new status allows for: Send and receive payments in these countries. Withdraw from your PayPal account to a U.S. bank account. In addition, withdraw to a credit, debit, or prepaid card in countries marked with a (dagger). No withdrawals from local banks still though. And no cheques too.

Send Paypal

I believe this development will further push activity in eBay Philippines as well as enable eBay users to get more secure transactions. The question whether eBay PH will start charging monthly subscriptions is yet to be seen but I suppose that time might have already matured.

It would be very interesting to see how this new development will affect the local e-commerce industry as well as Filipino’s socio-cultural fear of transacting online. I’m sure SMEs will be very happy with this though. Paypal only started allowing Philippine-based accounts about 11 and a half months ago and reports of a rumored full Paypal support were spreading 9 months ago.

So, if anybody wants to donate money to the YugaTech Sponsor-a-Contest campaign, see my Paypal account above. ;)

    Kuya, does this mean we can only receive money but not send? How can we purchase ebay items from abroad if that’s the case? Thanks po.

    Ako I gave up na. Paypal seems to want to accept only VISA. I already have enough grief with just one credit card (Mastercard), getting it, paying the bills, etc, and I’m not about to get ANOTHER card just so I can use Paypal fully. I’ll just wait until they start using Mastercard as well.

    In the meantime, I’ll just use the money I have in Paypal to buy stuff online, which is proving to be quite convenient.

    Don’t trust the Chinatrust Visa Debit card. I freakin’ opened an account because their New Accounts teller in their Alabang branch swore I can use it online but Low and Behold as soon as I entered the information in Paypal… Denied by the bank error! I later on confirmed with Chinatrust Cust. Svc. na di puede gamitin ang Chinatrust Visa Debit online. DONT USE CHINATRUST VISA DEBIT CARD! I hope everybody reads this.

    I’m going to try the Unionbank EON card this time. It looks like some people has some success in using this. I have over $700 in my unverified Paypal account that I earned in 2 months through my blog. Sayang naman if I can’t get it. I’m pretty sure I’ll find a way. But the damn thing is too hard to get accomplished than it should be.

    Since Mastercards from BPI can be verified but NOT to receive funds (my experience), I decided to send the money to myself using my XOOM account, because they have the option to send money using Paypal. I used my Paypal account in conjunction with that. HOWEVER, when I tried sending money, a day later I received an email from Paypal that Xoom has refunded back my money to Paypal, with the explanation that it was for the protection of the customer (the sender of the money).

    Any similar experiences?

    @gerry

    xoom doesn’t offer intra country transfer of money,
    I think that’s why the fund was refunded

    i have tried sending my self money from paypal to xoom, with the amount of $70 po, ok naman. SA BDO ko pa nga pinickup….so i guess pwede ung intra country guys….

    as in ung sender’s name and address parehas sa recipient’s… he he he

    kapag magdedeposit po sa EON card ano ung ginagamit? ung 12 digit or ung 16 digit?

    @ Janette:

    You can receive xoom without you necessarily having to submit a bank account kasi pd mo naman i pick up ang pera but if your purpose with xoom is to receive your blogvertise payment via paypal, di pwede yun because you cant send a paypal fund to xoom if you cant receive it. You can also read other comments in this post.

    The best you can do is to tell blogvertise about your situation that you cannot receive funds yet because your status is unverified. Ask them to refund (I think that is possible) their payments and hold the payment until ma verify ang account mo.

    nice suggestion rhodilee,, The problem I don not know someone..:) I will just wait for my credit card to arrive here..

  19. Avatar for Janette Janette says:

    Pwede bang mag sign-up ako sa xoom para ma transfer yong diniposit ng blogsvertise sa paypal u.s.? Free ba ang sign-up sa Xoom? Pwede bang ang ibigay ko na card pag sign-up ko sa Xoom is yong International ATM Card Banco de Oro Mastercard?

    Please advise.

    Thanks
