I have posted a PayPal related question in Kopitiam Q&A but didn't receive any answer... guess I'll post it here.

I've just purchased something from US eBay with PayPal(Citibank Platinum credit card) and I was told that I'll need to pay a fee called foreign transaction fee... now, does anyone know how much is that? Or was it included in the rate given by PayPal already?

Usually the only charge is already included in the rate given by paypal. You were told by who? Maybe you can ask the party that this is the charge?

Btw, I also have excess Paypal fees. Anyone interested can PM me. Thanks!

I rang Citibank up and was told by them it was 1% administration fee and some currency exchange rate difference according to some source...

is it selling paypal funds here has been banned?
i cant see anyone selling it..

yes, we can't sell paypal here anymore. I have $95 to sell, if anyone interested PM me.

have 1 question about paypal here, recently I heard that if a buyer want to pay a seller via paypal, they have to register an account with paypal and can't direct pay to the seller such as other credit card merchant does.

Last 2 days, when I make a purchse online, I saw there is a non-paypal user field, since I'm a paypal user, I can't test it (of course for security reason also), when I click on the non-paypal user I see now we can enter the credit card detail on it.

So may I know now we don't actually need to register an account with paypal when we want to pay by using our credit card, is that right?

Looking for advise..... thanks

If you are asking whether you can pay to another person paypal account by credit card (without yourself have a paypal account), , I think it is not allowed. Anyway, you can just register for a free paypal account.

In your case, I think the seller accepts both credit card and paypal, hence there is non-paypal user field

However, since there is no penalty/ fees for the buyer, better you use paypal to pay. This is to protect your credit card details directly to the seller. Also, if there is something wrong with the purchase, the seller can easily refund your money with a single click with Paypal.

Since you are selling something to people, you should trust that people are generally good and honest. That means if what you describe is acurate and your service is good, there is no reason for the buyer to claim from Paypal. (there also will not be any case for arguement)

Been using Paypal for all the while, no one claims from me / paypal yet.

my paypal acc got limited now.. paypal ask for my bills with my name and address.. problem is i dont have any bills under my name?? what should i do now? i have my bank statment. but they still want bill.. how now??

Hey so I’m still confused about this.
I want to buy something online(US website) and want to pay through paypal. I link my Maybank acc to it(which I haven't done, but I think I know how)
Then let’s say the thing I want to buy cost RM 100, but currently my Maybank account only have RM 50. So if I add money to my Maybank account, will I now be able to pay the thing through paypal? ._.

You have to make sure you have around RM800 in your account.

Maybank will charge you a PRE-AUTH (i'm guessing pre-authorized) amount of maybe RM350 (based on Maybank's exchange rates) and then Paypal will also take the same amount (maybe lower, based on their exchange rates). After the deal is done, Maybank will credit back the same amount that they took from you a day later.

So you need to have double the amount in your bank. (I think so)

Hi,i want to sell 100usd rate 3.0,anyone interested? p.m me

Hello

Just out of curiosity, why would you want to sell at 3.0 when you can direct withdraw it at higher rate to your own bank account?

i faced this problem as well. the problem i tried uploading the statements they require. but my acct is still limited
