[sgacita]

im using my paypal when buying outside philippines..ok naman siya, sometimes pag may nabibili akong defective i ask seller to refund my money. instant naman give naman agad..but i dont withdraw my refunds i use it again in purchasing..

I also use my paypal to buy items in ebay. I just wish they can do a tie up with Bloomingdale's.  They have awesome items in their store and I could just have the items shipped to my sister's place sana.

Sali ako.

@nainaj: Sis ako rin I tried BPI Savings pero ayaw.

[nainaj]

^ oo nga ayaw ng bpi savings. wala na nga ako ibang choice kungdi kumuha ng eon sa unionbank. yun kasi pwede magamit to verify paypal account.

[mizzybebz]

there are virtual credit cards. though P500 ang charge ata nila. Pero yung $1.95 babalik sa account mo after maverify.

^^bpi ang sakin, na verify naman. i haven't tried transferring funds though.

[soapaholic]

^Really? Mine said the deposits were returned. It's important for me pa naman to access PayPal because that's where I was sent the payment for one of the ads in my blog. Sayang naman if I can't verify my account. I'll try opening an EON account too. Wala lang time.

[nainaj]

^^ bpi savings account sis? ayaw talaga kasi sa akin eh.

[honeybunny]

pwede ba BPI account number instead credit card?

[jamie_0117]

@soapaholic, nainaj, honeybunny - yes, i use my bpi savings account as my primary bank account.

[nainaj]

^ buti ka pa sis. yung bpi ko ayaw talaga. 

[aMz]

I'm now fully utilizing my PayPal.  Thanks to everyone who gave tips. Especially to sis jamie_0117.

[honeybunny]

@soapaholic, nainaj, honeybunny - yes, i use my bpi savings account as my primary bank account.

really? wow! akala ko hopeless na ako... you mean pwede ko ilagay yung BPI account number ko dun sa credit card part pag nag gawa ako ng account?

[merryjazz]

pwede talagang idagdag ang ordinary savings account sa Paypal pero dapat may credit card ka pa din or EON para maging verified ang account mo sa Paypal.

You will not be allowed to withdraw your money kapag hindi verified ang status mo sa PayPal.

hello mga sis, ngayon ko lang natagpuan itong thread na ito, nag start na rin ako mag sideline. ask ko lang okay ba nag mag register na sa Paypal kahit wala pang unionbank eon account??

saka saang website ako mag re register? paypal.com or sa paypal.com.ph??

thank you!

[silverlilac]

^sis you can register for a Paypal account even if you don't have a Unionbank EON account - i don't have one, but i linked my BDO account to my Paypal account so i can just transfer the funds directly to my savings account. you can register at paypal.com.ph, and you can use your credit card to verify the account (if you don't have the Unionbank Eon card yet, and so you can withdraw the funds).

HTH! 

[runaway_bridesmaid]

^ah ok sis, thank you. meron akong credit card kaya lang ayoko siya gamitin for paypal. takot kasi ako mag lagay ng cc info ko sa internet, never ko pa nagawa, meron din akong savings account sa bdo pero naback read ko na may charge nga, sayang din.

plan ko mag open ng eon pero isa lang valid id ko kaya di pa ako nagpupunta sa bank. so ok lang din if leave blank ko na lang yung sa bank account info sa paypal? thanks a lot.

[silverlilac]

^yes sis, it's okay not to put your bank account details muna sa Paypal, you can just add the account details when you want to. though you do need the linking if you want to access your funds, so you can withdraw the money.

[runaway_bridesmaid]

^ah ok sis, thank you thank you! na gets ko na, pwede na pala mag create ng account sa paypal kahit wala pa yung eon account ko, tapos pag meron na saka ko na lang i-link. so hindi pala requirement yung bank account para makapag create ng paypal account sa paypal.com? tama po ba?? kelangan ko na lang siya para makuha ko yung money from paypal? tama po ba??

hay salamat naintindihan ko na rin. sorry sa ka engotan ko.

thank you sa pagsagot sis!
