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. ;)

    Bago lang po ako sa PAYPAL….. actually i was able to enroll and get verified merely by following several steps shared by paypal bloggers sa net. but still hindi ko alam how safe paypal is: here are some question that could help clearout my mind:

    1) if a person gets my email and pay me via paypal how long will the transaction reflect on my PAYPAL current balance for me to know that the transaction made was good???

    2) Is there any risk in PAYPAL similar to Western Union, that if a person who pays first would have a greater risk that his counter part would run away from the obligation agreed upon????

    3) If a person pays through paypal, if the second party has scammed the payer. Is there a possibility that the payer can cancel the payment made or not?????

    please helppppppppppppp. tnx

    To apply for eon go to nearest unionbank branch 350 lang annual fees no maintaining balance. sabihin mo nalang EON VISA Electron account . iyong wlang maintaining balance. puede rin try mo sterling bank of asia iyong debit card nila na grey colored. I think only VISA CARDS are supported. Pag mastercard iyan forget it> DAPAT VISA

    I was linking BDO ATM Debit Card to my Paypal account moments ago, and Paypal says that it can not verify my card correctly when all the information I entered were correct.

    Then I checked my BDO account online and it deducted me PHP 239.05. Can anyone provide me information on this problem while I wait for BDO’s reply? Any help and info is very much appreciated.

    Thanks!

    “amount not exceeding $500 per month”

    If you had a business then your client need to pay you more than $500 what will happen?

    I think this service are incomplete but great development indeed!

    Ask ko lang po ah. Kasi balak kong mag-open ng account sa BDO, yung may Debit Card. Kasi nakita ko sa Paypal na pwede yung Debit Card number. So, ask ko lang po sana kung nagwowork ba ito. Pwede po ba akong makabili sa e-bay and amazon using this Debit Card from BDO? At kung pwede po magkano po ba ang kinukuhang service charge.

    Thanks!
