contact both Paypal and Cimb asap. withdrawal should not take more than 5 working days.

Thanks for the advise. I used the balance to buy items in ebay from malaysian seller.

Is there any apps for Apple product?

oh ok thanks

Hi,
urgent question pleaseee?

Malaysia's Paypal cannot send gift ar?
I wanna send gift to US ...
Don't wanna pay extra 3.5% ... (as requested by seller)
anyways he is a recommended seller so no fraud most probably

no can' anymore

Easy question:

When purchasing something overseas, Paypal does not need to be 'top-ed up' (due to RM10.00 balance) if its linked/verified to a credit/debit card?

Thanks all si-fus!!!

hmm.. that's too bad.. then prolly u can look up some paypal calc online..


yes of cos.. u will need to do some estimation...
Big card follow CIMB rates... calc based on selling rates

try compare Paypal rates and direct bank rates.. sometimes cheaper sometimes more exp.. haha

you don't need to top-up, will deduct directly from card instead...
especially when you are buying stuffs from oversea.. that balance of RM10 won't be used..
only purchases made in RM will use the balance =)

hi bro, how do you transfer to paypal then from BIG card ?

Thanks, melz84!!

If i'm you, i won't reload Paypal account with funds..
unless you are very confident that when you reload, the conversion rate is low enuff and will not go up..

for example.

1.

let's say you have extra money and don't mind keeping it on a virtual bank for future purchases.. espcially USD

if rates drops until MYR 3.00~ 3.05, and you reload USD100 into your paypal, that would cost your MYR305 depending on banks.
you will need to have roughly MYR310 inside your BIG card.

after one week, if rates is MYR310/USD1, you are safe... you can use the funds in your paypal to purchase stuffs at MYR310/USD1 rate.


2.

if you're not always buying stuffs that cost you USD, then i don't recommend reloading your Paypal account. just pay as you use.
imagine u wanna buy USD30 worth of items. and your bank rate is MYR3.15/USD1
then best is to reload 30 x 3.15 94.5.. keep 95-96 bucks in your card and just buy via paypal.

this method allows u to choose between paypal forex rate or your banks forex rate

=)

hope this clarifies your question hehe

Anyone can help me ?
Im Under 18years old
I wan to have a paypal account , is that possible ?
I got only Debit card , is that possible to have a paypal account ?Anyone can pm me for Paypal information ? appreciate it thanks

hi melz, thank for your explanation really appreciate it
yes you r correct, i guess its true that sometimes paypal rate is extremely higher than the local bank rates as just now i was paying usd 235 and the total shows in RM is 777 where it calculates 1 USD = 3.3 MYR
cimb forex is 1 USD = 3.2 MYR. supposedly usd 235 = RM 753 and i ended up paying more RM 24 hehe
maybe next time i'll choose the option "to use local bank rates" but the problem with this option is that it does not show the rate it exchange, it will only show on the bank statement after transaction is done

yes it is possible but im not sure whether paypal has age restriction on creating the account under 18
well lets say that u have tried to create an account and successful, just login and go to Profile > Add Debit/Credit Card, if you are using Maybank or CIMB you can choose the Add Bank option.

yep.. that's the prob.. cos paypal will not pull the rates from any banks..
so we need to do the estimation on our own..

for some ppl who are lazy to do calc.. they end up paying higher.. sadly.. i was one of the lazy ones last time.. haha

Hello guys, sorry for the simple question.
Malaysian can still use paypal right?

What is the step to get paypal account?

I have maybank2u account and maybank atm card.


or maybe what's the best? ambank nextG or RHB?
The simplest will be ambank nextG?

welll.. try not to link any debit card that is directly linked to your savings account..
that's a bad idea =P

try googling on the cards that can be used for paypal..
as told by my friend who works in paypal..
some cards can be used for payment but may not work for withdrawal..

https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&...channel=suggest

I don't know how to make head of tail of this. hehe totally newbie.

But the simplest would be ambank nextg prepaid right? Can it be used for payment and withdrawl?

any advice?
