Means we cannot use PayPal anymore ?

WHATTTTTTT!!!

sigh must be cause of all the scammers

A bit confused about "Personal Payments"

Not paypal's fault. This is Malaysian government involvement, just like in SIngapore.


They want to be able to track all financial exchanges.

They can't if you pay each other through paypal.


Government/Bank Negara wants to know every transaction.


To prevent tax evasion issues.

Kena sanction lor. But nvm, not a big problem anyway.

Personal payment is like , I pay/transfer to another normal user . If use to buy things still can.

Aiya...this one can be easily avoid la ~

Just use the merchat tools and ask people to make payment there.

I concur. If it is due to credit card fraud, they would have discontinued the service to merchants as well.

Sorry boys and girls, tax evasion is a privilage for the cronies only.

personal payment means payment/transfer to another personal account registered in MY that is not merchant account.
