PayPal Philippines Now Fully Active

Posted by on Sep 29, 2007 in Uncategorized | 9 comments

Just after the great news from Google (allowing Payments through Western Union), we now have another update – you can now receive PayPal payments. We have long been pushing for this for quite a long time now.

For technopreneurs, this means more business opportunities. It was quite hard to get an online payment portal in the Philippines. With PayPal now fully active, you just need to sign up for an account and use the various Merchant Tools available.

Receive Paypal Payments

Then, you must have a Prepaid or Credit card. Your PayPal funds could be transferred there. The next step here would be to find out which cards will be PayPal compatible. I’ll try to do some research on this.

    i do a lot of ebaying and in fact do a lot of my online purchases for goods and services using paypal.

    It would help out a lot of pinoys who can’t export/import shit due to credit card restrictions (where in fact some sites like amazon didnt allow shipping to the philippines due to credit card fraud)

    People use it here for stuff like fund raisers etc as well.

    is it possible to receive payments from abroad through paypal option and receive money in dollar form? i tried to inquire on some banks here in the philippines and they said the money will be converted into pesos as soon as i withdraw it. Do i need to open up an international credit card for this? if so then i would like to know which cards and banks are supported by paypal. thanks.
