hmm.. there's few things that you might wanna check..

1. is your account verified ?
2. what is your sending limit ? if there is..
3. registered country ? e.g registered account under Malaysia but sending from Timbuktu.. ISP blocked? maybe?
4. the person you are sending to ? maybe he/she not verified or country listed as high fraud or suspicious.
5. where you funds are originated from.

there's a lot of factor for that error..

1. yes my account is verified , its on the status
2. limit ? hmm how can i check it , btw i just only use around 100usd in paypal so far
3. ohh i'm not sure about country

hmm, i can buy items from ebay using paypal, but i cant send payment to others by using send payment at the web,
well its kinda weird , i already contact their help center , but still no respond from them....

hmm.. if you have contacted paypal, i think you might have to wait a while.
i've got a friend working in paypal, after listening to their work process... it's gonna be ages before you get a reply.

Hi! Sorry for the late response because I had already left the computer by the time you sent the message, i log on this morning and got your message. I have sent the money to you, i checked with pay-pal converter and added 146pounds to cover shipping cost. please let me know as soon as you receive confirmation from pay-pal and also let me know what time you want to ship the parcel to him.

His shipping info again is:

George Lim
14, okesalu street, ikotun egbe
Lagos - 23401, Nigeria
His contact number: 08089364076

Thanks in advance,
Regards,

its the same person rite...

Haha, do not ever ship out the item before you receive the funds.

Note: The scammer will send you a fake e-mail saying that the funds is ready to be credited into your PayPal account and your next step is to ship the item out in order to access the funds.

How PayPal works as a seller:

Buyer pays> PayPal holds the buyer's funds untill seller ships out the item> item has to reach buyer in order for the funds to be released (21 days maximum)

Hi guys, I would like to send a payment to US company via PayPal. The PayPal surcharge fees to send payment to US will be minimal if I use a bank account right? If I'm not mistaken credit card will be like an additional 4%?

hmmm not too sure about that..
if you mean the surcharge for currency conversion.. i'm getting like around 1% from publicbank debit card.
unsure about bank charges.

Yea this is what I'm unsure of as well, I know there will be a currency conversion charge but what about any other transaction fees? Or the receiver will bare all the charges?

same email i got meh!!

receiver bear the charges for receiving money.. but sender charges is usually the bank conversion rate
diff banks have different charges if not mistaken

So just to check, did anybody every manage to secure a deal with this Marcus Lim Hui Person?

No it is a scam, just delete that email.

Cool! Thanks!:)

You're the buyer am I right (purchase payment?/personal payment?), if its a purchase payment then no fee.

because seller will bear the fees. Just the conversion part you will lose a couple bucks.

Yup I'm the buyer, just did the payment today. Only conversion rate/fee applied.

Say i've got a payment in AUD. (my PP account is in Malaysia).

do i get billed for double forex charged from AUD->USD-> MYR? or straight from AUD-> MYR.

thanks

No, only once. But its gonna cost because the conversion rate is not that ideal in PayPal.

Maybe you can spend that AUD at some Australian website in that case.

hmm on the 21st i withdraw money from paypal to my cimb debit. It said 2-3 working days (which mean 25th jan) i will get my fund. But till now money havent received. any idea? Thanks

u should receive the money by Friday if u withdraw on 21st..
or maybe tomorrow u get it..

hmm.. your AUD most likely stuck in the account unless you withdraw them.. depends on the amount if large amount, still ok
if small, i suggest just spend it on some aussie sites.. hehe


saturda/sunday and public holidays will not be counter as working days =)
