When you buy from PayPal stores it is easy, convenient, and relatively safe. PayPal acts as like an internet ‘wire transfer.’ After signing-up for PayPal, one may send cash to anyone with an email address using the PayPal system. PayPal also has security features that safeguard against fraud in case there is a dispute between the seller and the buyer.

In this article we are going to move on to the other end of the spectrum, trying to get your money out of your PayPal account. This is not as hard as people make it sound. There have been cases where people have had their accounts frozen. That has happened because they broke one of the PayPal terms of service. As long as you play by their rules, you will not have any trouble getting your money.

Go back to the My Account section. There is a box that says “Withdraw.” Click on that box. You are taken to another page that has quite a few options for getting your hard earned money. We are going to cover each one of those options.

Transfer Funds to Bank Account

This is the best way because it is the fastest and it is free. Funds are usually transferred in no more than 4 business days. This is the most used option.

Request A Check From PayPal

In some countries where PayPal does not allow bank transfers, this is your only option. Unfortunately, it is not as good. Checks can take up to 2 weeks to get to you. In certain instances it may even take 3 weeks. That is when I went to electronic funds transfer. Also, there is a $1.50 charge for each transfer. This can add up if you ask for your money often.

Shop With PayPal Debit Card

This is where they get you to actually spend your money. Once you get a debit card, you can have the money transferred to that card and then use it to make purchases. If you really need the money, don’t be tempted by this option. Use the electronic transfer. Many people end up broke because of all the money they spend in this way.

Get Cash Out Of An ATM

This is a quick option where you can get your money using a PayPal ATM card. It is very handy but comes with a $1.00 charge. If you really need the money right away, you’re probably better off going with the electronic funds transfer.

Buy From Over 42,000 PayPal Shops

This one really makes me laugh. This is where they take you to the PayPal shops to spend your hard earned money. Resist the temptation. Once you get to that page, click away from it quickly.

With each method of requesting money you’ll be taken to a second page. It is here that you enter in the amount you want to withdraw. Then click on “continue.” You will then be taken to a final page for confirmation. After you do this, the funds will be on their way to you.

Remember, your PayPal account will say pending. You will notice that they have already taken the money from your account, even though you don’t have it yet. They do this to keep you from spending money using your PayPal account that you don’t actually have anymore.

One of the most popular gift card questions online is whether one can link prepaid gift cards like the Visa gift card to a PayPal account. The short answer is Yes and No.

Now, the long answer: Yes, it is possible to link a prepaid gift card like the Visa or American Express gift card to a PayPal account but for this to happen, you need to pray and hope that PayPal does not require you to go through their Expanded Use verification process. To better understand why, you first need to be familiar with the process for linking a credit card to a PayPal account. When you link your credit card to a PayPal account, PayPal will attempt to confirm your address with your credit card company. If the credit card company is not able to confirm your address, then you may be asked by PayPal to complete their Expanded Use enrollment process in order to activate your credit card.

Expanded Use verification means PayPal will charge your credit card a small about. Next to the charge will be a unique, randomly generated 4-digit Expanded Use code. If you have online access to your credit card activity, the charge and code will appear on your card activity in approximately 2-4 business days. If you do not have online access, you must wait until you receive your statement in the mail to get the 4-digit code. If you are adding a debit card to your PayPal account, your 4-digit Expanded Use code will be printed on your bank statement next to the charge.

Once you get the 4-digit code, you have to return to your PayPal account to enter the code per instructions from PayPal. Once completed, and PayPal confirms that you entered the correct code, you will now be able to use the card for PayPal transactions. The Expanded Use verification process is designed to protect you against fraud by verifying that the person attempting to use the credit card actually owns the card. PayPal will later credit the amount charged to your card to your PayPal account.

Now, here lies the problem with using prepaid or bank issued gift cards. If PayPal is unable to verify your address with the gift card issuer, then you may be asked to go through the Expanded Use process. Since most prepaid gift cards do not issue monthly statements or provide online access to gift card transactions, it will be impossible to complete the Expanded Use process. Also, it is not a good idea to call the credit card or gift card issuer to get the 4-digit Expanded Use code. If PayPal receives a complaint from your card issuer that you called them to get the 4-digit code, PayPal will close your account permanently.

So, the first step to attempting to use a prepaid gift card on PayPal is to make sure the name and address (billing address) on your PayPal account matches the name and address on file with the gift card issuer. If you just purchased your prepaid gift card, call the card issuer and add your name and address to the card. If your information (name and address) has changed since you registered your card, call the card issuer or go online and update your information before you use the card on PayPal.

Once this is done, you just have to hope that PayPal is able to successfully verify your address with the gift card issuer. If they are able to verify your address, then you are all set. If they cannot verify your address with the card issuer, then you probably will not be able to use that gift card on PayPal.

How to Verify Paypal Philippines using EON Visa Debit Credit Card

 

How to have a verified Paypal in the Philippines using UnionBank’s EON Visa Debit Credit Card. Follow my steps and have it verified without failed in less than a month! Works 100% of the time.

 

Verify Paypal Philippines using EON Visa Debit Credit Card

 

Hi folks, do you lived in the Philippines, with Philippines now a Paypal country, the perks of eBay merchandising, selling and buying; the freelance works done from outsourcing can all be paid and used through Paypal.

 

Paypal is an online cash system widely accepted all through out the internet since way back early in the 90’s. Paypal Philippines is just a couple of years old, and with Western Transfer Union’s crazy fees and the non participation of Philippine Banks to Money transfer from banks around across the world, Paypal has become an ideal monetary exchange program for Filipinos all through out the Archipelago.

 

Why the need to be a Verified Paypal User?

 

Answer is simple; you cannot withdraw the money in your Paypal account unless you become a verified user. You will have limits in your accounts, like the amount that you can transfer is limited to only a few couple of hundreds of dollars, and the amount you can received is just a few thousand. Worst you can’t take your Paypal funds and have them in your bank account even though you have clearly state in the interface in the website correct amounts and bank details. In short, just get verified and you will see the big greens ahead

 

How did I become verified? Simple steps are listed below:

 

First you’re going to need a Credit Card. I have 4 Credit cards, but none I used for online transactions. Why? I have been a victim of hacking on my MasterCard before so I decided to use debit Visa cards instead after that incident.

 

The best way to get a debit credit card is through banks that offers them. BPI offers MasterCard’s debit cards through Express Cash banking systems, but the one I liked most is non other than UnionBanks EON Visa Card. Because it’s a Visa Credit Card but with the debit twist. You have to go to a UnionBank branch near you or the place you work to apply for one.

 

Requirements are 2 valid ID’s, one is premium or government supplied and the other as supplementary or Company supplied. Bring in a whooping $125.00 [it’s peso btw lol] as a transaction fee of some sorts. Then after 2-3 weeks get back at the bank and get your VISA debit Credit Card. But be ready with another whooping $350.00 [again change the amount to peso lol] for the annual fee, and plug in a good 500 peso bill in the counter to have the card some transaction history. This is important. Don’t skip the steps above.

 

After 2-3 days go to your UnionBank’s ATM machine and check your savings balance. If you see your 500 pesoses in there then all is good, go to a nearby church and thank God.

 

EON Cyber Account application is a Must

 

Then after a few hours or even minutes or yes even seconds go online and apply for UnionBank’s EON online banking, you won’t miss it, I don’t want to give live links so use Google and search “unionbank Philippines” or something like that and register. Then you have to wait 1-3 weeks depending on the mood of the data entry guy till your EON online banking gets approved.

 

Now go and log in to your Paypal account, click on the lift the limits tab and add the EON Visa Credit card. If you are able to Log in now to the EON online Banking, eBanking or Cyber account thingamajig then in less than 48 hours you can get the EXPUSE number needed to have for your Paypal to have it’s limits waived off.

 

The EXPUSE is next to the transaction thing with the word PAYPAL written all over.

 

And there you have it, Paypal will deduct at least a 100+ pesos in your EON Visa Card and will gladly pay you back the $1.95 [this time its USD] through Paypals credits.

 

I reckon you will try and apply for a premium Paypal membership to get the ball rolling and have all the limits erase for you to withdraw the money in your account to your EON Credit Card. Paypal will take 3 days for the money to clear and have transaction completed and your UnionBank system will eat up 3-5 days to have the money showing in your EON Card Account. After which you can swipe and buy stuff with your VISA Card or if not withdraw the money in an ATM and enjoy life to the fullest. LOL

 

Over all time frame till SHOW ME THE MONEY. This is a rough estimate to erase all your high hopes NOYPI style.

 

14-28 days, 2-3 Weeks = EON Debit Visa Credit Card Application

 

2-3 days = EON Debit Visa Credit Card test transaction e.g. ATM money check account balance etc.

 

7-28 days, 1-3 Weeks = EON Debit Visa Credit Card Cyber Account or eBanking application and approval

 

1-3 days = EON Debit Visa Credit Card added to Paypal and to have Paypal send you the EXPUSE number

 

1-2 days = EON Debit Visa Credit Card Cyber Account or eBanking online shows the EXPUSE number

 

1-2 days = EON Debit Visa Credit Card Cyber added to Paypal with Expuse number and become Verified

 

7-14 days 1-2 Weeks= Withdrawing and Clearing of money to your EON Debit Visa Credit Card from Paypal

 

TOTAL = roughly 4-8 Weeks till you get your online money to be going straight to the real world. Not bad eh? That’s life live with it.

 

Oh before I forget after you have done a couple of transaction, withdrawing, receiving and adding money to Paypal and EON, the next clearing period becomes 24 hours to 2 days combined, guess having trust works in online automated systems too. Cache or Caching!

Dealing with PayPal can really be frustrating task especially for the new comers. Here are some tips that can keep your PayPal account in good standings.



To securely access your PayPal account type http://www.paypal.com

Keep your PayPal password unique and never keep it same like your MSN or Yahoo password.

Don’t share your personal information with anyone via emails.

Verify your PayPal account by providing all the required stuff.

Never try to access your PayPal account from the unsupported countries.

To make your PayPal account secure you need to abide by the rules of PayPal and make sure you are using it for a legitimate business.

A Paypal Business Opportunity might be just the ticket for full or part-income. Just about everyone has heard of Paypal. What most people haven’t heard of, however, are the Paypal Business Opportunities available online. Millions of subscribers use Paypal on a regular basis. Merchants stand to benefit the most from using Paypal, as it will save them expenses on payment acceptance and increase their available customer base.

With this in mind, you stand to profit from Paypal’s unparalleled success. Every small business, particularly those with online businesses, will have to decide what types of payment they will accept for their products and services. When you start looking into merchant services, it can get expensive very quickly, both in time and money. Depending on what type of merchant services vendors sign up for, will depend on the type of credit cards or debit cards they will be able to accept. This limits a merchant to specific card acceptance, and therefore can limit sales. Paypal for small businesses is ideal because you pay only for the transactions you accept. This makes accepting a myriad of payment methods inexpensive and profitable. This gives you a perfect opening for making money with a paypal business opportunity.

Another benefit for merchants you refer with your paypal business opportunity is that there is no membership fee, no minimum requirements and no long-term commitments. Merchants pay a per-transaction fee that allows complete flexibility and can be added to their bottom line on a per sale basis. This will also help them track expenses and makes the booking a little easier. With all of the benefits of this service, it is easy to see how referrals to Paypal would be a simple way to make money online.

Additionally, you can point out to perspective merchants that Paypal, with its easily recognizable brand and stability, will be around for a long time to come. Even if a merchant is a current subscriber to a merchant services company, it is still beneficial for them to sign up with Paypal. Paypal will work right along with them and allow them the added benefit of being able to accept payments straight from people who do not have credit cards, or do not wish to use their credit cards online. This opens the door to even more customers.

10 years ago fewer people dreamed of sending and receiving money all around the world through a single click of a mouse button. It was June 23, 1998 when Paypal was borne to make it possible. The idea of Paypal founders, Max Levchin, Peter Thiel and Luke Nosek, was to allow the shoppers to buy an item online without sharing financial information, and at the same time, enable retailers, small-business owners and individuals a guaranteed quick and sure payment for a small fee.

Since the takeover by eBay, an online auction house, in 2002 Paypal made more than 60 million active accounts in 190 countries and 17 currencies around the world. The company has carved a niche for itself in the online payments market and is now the most popular alternative to long-established leaders Visa and MasterCard.

On the occasion of its 10th anniversary Paypal officially launched a micro-site, https://www.paypal-10.com/, featuring a series of video interviews with PayPal’s founders and others key officials who played important roles in the company’s history.

Future lies ahead

With the rapidly increasing use of online purchasing worldwide the use of PayPal service is slated to grow even more in the future. According to a study released by Javelin Research & Strategy in September 2007, the alternative payment methods like PayPal will increase to gain 30% of all online transaction volume by 2012.



A survey conducted by PayPal shows that 84% percent of US respondents have been shopping online for five or more years and 87% report that they shop via the Web at least once a month. It is the most popular online payment service in Britain, with more than 20 million registered users. At present PayPal has 7,000 employees worldwide. In the first quarter of 2008 Paypal posted revenue of $582 million, a 32 % rise from last year.

THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! IT WORKS!!! BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW The LETTER FOR IT TO WORK!!!! THIS IS NOT A PYRAMID SCAM!! :

I came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00!

…heres how!

Paypal verifies that this $6 investment program is 100% legal

and is a big hit this year

This is not another scam that takes lots of your hard earned money;

Turn $6 into $15,000 in only 30 days…heres how! You have most likely seen or heard about this project on TV programs such as 20/20 and Oprah, or you may have read about it in the Wall Street Journal.

If not, here it is below - revealed to you in step-by-step detail.

This program is by no means new.

It has been in existence in many forms for at least a decade.

In the early days, it required a lot more time and effort, as well as an investment of a few hundred dollars.

However, thanks to PayPal and the Internet,

the investment is now virtually ZERO!

And what’s more,

the entire process is FASTER, EASIER,

and MORE LUCRATIVE than it has EVER been!

I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it:

Make Money with your Paypal account as shown on Oprah!

“A little while back, I was browsing through news groups and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00!

So I thought, “Yeah right, this must be a scam”, but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send only $1.00 to each of the 6 email addresses stated in this article.

You then place your name and address at the bottom of the list at the # 6th position and email it to your friends as well as post this message (with your email address in the list) to at least 200 newsgroups.

(There are thousands)

No catch that was it.

So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it.

I figured “what have I got to lose except $6.00, right?”

So I invested the measly $6.00

Well GUESS WHAT!!

Within days, I started getting money coming into my Pay Pal account!

I was shocked!

I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in.

In my first week, I made about $25.00, which means that 25 people joined the group after they saw my posted messages.

By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1000.00!

In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it’s still growing.

This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it’s still coming in rapidly.

It’s certainly worth $6.00, and the few minutes it took to join Paypal.

I have spent more than that on the lottery!

Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works. Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it, as you need it.

I promise you that if you follow the directions EXACTLY, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy!

SUGGESTION:

Read this entire message carefully!

Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in, it’s that easy!

It’s legal. And, your investment is only $6.00.

IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk-it really works! If all of the following

instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends.

AGAIN, PLEASE NOTE:

Follow these directions EXACTLY,

and $20,000 or more can be yours in 4 to 6 weeks.

This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants.

Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions.

In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it’s a service.

You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists.

Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists.

However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income, which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list.

Here are the 4 easy steps to success:

STEP 1:

Take a few minutes to join Paypal: www.paypal.com

Paypal

The Internet’s most trusted Internet banking system for your future income.

When creating your Paypal account make sure you use the same Email address as your user name in the list below so people can send money to your account.

STEP 2

Once you have a Paypal account running, use Paypal to post $1 to EACH of the 6 Email Addresses below because you pay people with an email address in Paypal.

To do this you may need to use a credit card, which is very easy, and secure so nobody but Paypal may see it.

If you don’t have a credit card show this great lucrative offer to someone that has one and get them to help you pay the $6.

What you are doing is creating a service.

This is absolutely legal!

You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it!

Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all.

But I looked around and did some homework and found it was perfectly legal.

Here are the 6 individual Email addresses that you have to send $1 to through Paypal for this to work properly and for you to receive money.

(If you don’t send the money and decide to post the message with your name in it anyway, Paypal will instantly pick this up and terminate your account, immediately, besides the other penalties!!

If you did this you could get into serious trouble because it is fraud. (So follow the instructions and post the $6 and you will make lots of money with no hassles.)

Now send $1 to each of these following email - addresses through your paypal account and pay $1 to each the following 6 email- addresses

These email addresess are PayPal IDs or usernames:

1 nik_koracek@tpg.com.au

2 antoinette1113@yahoo.com

3 calibaygurl@yahoo.com

4 ltownballer7@hotmail.com

5 tiggerluv321@aol.com

6 Angel7th@gmail.com

STEP 3

Now,… after paying $1.00 to each of the email placements above, take the #1 Email Address off the list, move the other Email Addresses up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.) and add Your Email Address as number 6 on the list.

STEP 4

Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to the original as possible.

Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups (there are thousands of groups).

And email your message to as many people you can. Remember, the more you post and email the more money you make! This is perfectly legal!

IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk-it really works! If all of the following

instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends.

PLEASE REMEMBER

this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions.

You are simply paying into a money making chain of participants and if the chain is broken you are screwing someone else out of their fair share.

So, as each person who joins the family and the directions are followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each.

You then insert your Email Address into the list and it will move up geometrically.

So that when your name reaches the #1 position you will have potentially received thousands of dollars into your account!!!

What an opportunity for only a total of $6.00!!

$1 for each of the first six people listed above

To begin with,

please send you’re joining fee now (which is $1.00 to each email address listed above) then add your own Email Address to the list and you’re in business!

HOW TO POST TO NEWS GROUPS:

Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various newsgroups(on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)

Log on any search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com, excite.com, etc., then search with the subject ”millionaire message board” or ”money making message board” or ”employment message board” or ”money making discussions” or ”money making forum” or ”business message board” etc.

You will find thousands and thousands of message boards.

Click on them one by one and you will find the option ‘post a new message’. Then Post this article as a ‘new message’ by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting copy then paste from the edit menu.

Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button.

You’re done with your first one! It only takes about 60 seconds to complete postings on message boards after you catch on.

REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!!

BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200!

That is it

You will begin receiving money in your account from around the world within days!

JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.

Now the WHY part out of 200 postings:

Say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example).

So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter.

Each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with m

In this day and age just about everyone owns a computer or has some sort of a way to ge t on the Internet, and with good reason! There are so many unique activities you can do online nowadays that you couldn’t do even three years ago. The exhaustive amount of online gambling sites alone is earth shattering. In the year 2002 as listed in USA Today by equity research firm Bear Stearns was quoted in saying that over 4.5 million people, half of them being people from the United States regularly gamble online. Of course this number has more than tripled in the past six years since that quote was written in USA Today.

Almost anyone can gamble online at these gaming casinos and poker sites, as long as it is legal in your place of residence! There are numerous sites that offer games such as roulette, black jack, poker and slots where you can play for real money and win real money in the process. Other sites have other things such as “chips” that when accumulated can be used to buy stuff on the site, or to play more games. More likely than not however, if you’re going to be gambling online you’re going to win some real money! Either way please make sure you know your state or country legislative laws before gambling online.

If you are going to gamble at a site with real money it’s a good idea to follow these point of criteria:

- Make sure the site is legally licensed

- Payouts are reviewed and certified by an independent auditing firm

- Customer support is responsive

- Accreditation is given by sources such as SafeBet, and the Interactive Gaming Council

Online gambling sites and poker sites more than likely will allow you to pay with credit card, check, money order, or wire transfer. Although recently sites have also started accepting other forms of payment such as the ever popular PayPal. Also, don’t be surprised when signing up for these sites if they ask for your driver’s license number, bank account number, credit card number, or social security number. This is just their way of assuring that you are of legal age!

Even though PayPal poker sites are still pretty new, you would be really surprised in the amount of sites available. Listed below are some of these sites and some statistics you should know about the website! Pay attention, this could potentially pay off big time!

Betfair Poker with bankroll boost -

Accepts PayPal

Free $600 plus free qualifier for the WSOP Europe when you reach 250 player points

$1000+ new player free roll

Ladbrokes -

Accepts PayPal

$500 free

30% rake back

VCPoker -

I personally like the poker and gambling sites that have the PayPal option because you can take it directly out of your bank account or PayPal account and put it right into the gambling account online. This is really easy, convenient and best of all quick. So stop messing around with those other credit card poker sites online, visit some of these PayPal poker sites, you won’t be disappointed! Have fun and good luck! I hope you win a ton of money!

While it seems like a no brainer, there are still dropshippers who neglect to use the leverage that PayPal brings to their eBay business. In today’s online marketplace, this feature is seen by many as a necessity, and without it, dropshippers leave a large percentage of their potential profits on the table.

Even before eBay acquired PayPal, the two companies were used hand in hand by both buyers and sellers on the internet. Today, as one company, the two interact more than ever, and accepting PayPal payments is absolutely crucial for your eBay business. If a dropshipper neglects to accept PayPal as a means of payment for his or her items, he or she makes it much harder to create a steady income stream from dropshipping, and achieving Powerseller status becomes a much more difficult task.

PayPal makes eBay transactions incredibly easy. Because many PayPal accounts are already funded with cash, most eBay buyers don’t even see the money that leaves their accounts. This smooth, easy payment process encourages sales. Those who use PayPal prefer to use it over credit cards or personal checks, because it is much faster and easier for the buyer. Therefore, if you do not accept PayPal payments in your auctions, you are likely to be passed over by perspective buyers, and they will buy from someone who accepts PayPal payment even if the price is higher. Yes, many will pay more for the luxury of paying via PayPal. Therefore, if YOU are the one that accepts this type of payment, and your competitor does not, you may even receive a higher price.

However, if you neglect to accept PayPal payments, there were no doubt be less people bidding on your item, which naturally decreases the amount that you will receive for you product. Also, remember that people are sometimes more likely to bid on items that already have several bids, and accepting PayPal can encourage this idea to work in your favor.

Using PayPal is also beneficial to you because it allows you to receive payment much faster and, therefore, gives you the green light to ship sooner. Faster shipment means the potential of receiving a better feedback rating, and it snowballs from there. PayPal also allows you deposit the funds directly into your bank account. You could literally sell an item on eBay and have the money in your hand in less than an hour.

If you insist on only accepting personal checks and other slow methods of payments, you will not receive as many bids. In return, you will not get as much as you could for your items. You will make fewer sales, and payment will be slower. In return, you will receive fewer points for positive feedback, and your growth will be stunted.

If you want to seriously compete in the eBay marketplace and use dropshipping as a means to create a stream of income, implementing PayPal into your business is not only necessary, but absolutely essential to your success.
