Change Country in PayPal

March 13, 2009 · Filed Under Make Money · 5 Comments 

PayPal Inc.If you ever want to change your country in PayPal, forget it. You’re not allowed to change the country your account. If you really wanna change your country in profile then you have to close your account and open an account again with the same email address.

Recently one of my friends came back to Sri Lanka after finishing in Masters in USA. He just wanted to change his country to Sri Lanka, so he wrote a letter to PayPal. As I said earlier they want him to close his account and open a new account.


If you wanna know how you can withdraw money from unverified PayPal account, check out my Easy Steps to Withdraw Money to Sri Lankan Bank.

I do apologize
for the inconvenience this issue may have caused you. I understand that you would want ton change the country in your account and add a new credit card on your new account having the Sri Lanka as the country.

When changing your street address, you will be unable to change your country of residence, as PayPal currently does not have a feature where you can add addresses from multiple countries on the same PayPal
account. The only way to change the country of residence is to open a new PayPal account, and select your country of residence during the sign up process.

Please note that an email address can only be used on one active PayPal account at a time. If you want to use the same email address on your new account, you will first have to close your existing PayPal account
however, since you still have balance in this account, I would suggest that you have to initiate a check withdrawal for you to get the money in your PayPal account balance.

Members registered from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Ecuador, India, Jamaica, or Uruguay can request a check to be mailed to the address on their PayPal Account by following these instructions:

1. Log in to your account at https://www.paypal.com/

2. Click the ‘Withdraw’ subtab

3. Click ‘Request a check from PayPal’

4. Enter the amount

5. Select the address the check is to be mailed to using the
pull-down menu

6. Click ‘Continue’

7. Review the confirmation page

8. Click ‘Submit’

When you request a check, it will take 4-6 business days to process the request and prepare the check to be mailed. Postal delivery time is additional and varies depending on your country of residence.

Please note:

· PayPal has no control over postal delivery times
· Check delivery may be delayed by government holidays in both the
U.S. and in your home country
· PayPal is not responsible for inaccurately entered mailing
information

Once you receive the check for your withdrawal that is the time to close
the account so that you will be able to use the same email address and
create an account under Sri Lanka.

To close your PayPal account, please follow these steps:

Log in to your account at https://www.paypal.com/

Click the “Profile” subtab.

Click the “Close Account” link located under “Account Information” and
follow the online instructions.

Once your old account has been closed, please follow these steps to open
a new account:

Visit https://www.paypal.com/

Select the “Personal” radio button for a Personal or Premier account.
Select the “Business” radio button for a Business account.

Choose a Country from the drop down menu.

Click “Continue.”

Fill out the form. *The Business account form has two pages to complete.

Click the “Sign Up” button at the bottom of the page. You will be taken
to a new page.

Once you have opened a new account, please follow the directions to confirm your email address. Once your email address is confirmed, your PayPal account will be ready to use!

Again, I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this might cause you. If you have further questions, please feel free to email us back

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us again.

Sincerely,

Withdraw money from PayPal to Sri Lankan Bank

Image via Wikipedia

Please refrain from using this method as GAF is no longer supporting this method. This method is no longer valid.

Though I write this article for Sri Lankans, anyone who has problem withdrawing paypal money can try this out.

As I wrote earlier Sri Lankans can’t receive payment in Paypal, so most of the users register as Indian users and receive payments. But there is an issue that you can’t cash out your money that you have in your paypal account. I was trying several ways and found out a way to cash my money. It’s a work around and you will loose small amount of money in transactions but still you can receive most of your money.

To do this you need to have three accounts
1. PayPal Account
2. Get A Freelancer Account
3. Moneybookers Account

Have you created the accounts??? I presume you have created the accounts

First login to your Get A Freelancer account ->
Go to Manage Accounts ->
Payment Transactions ->
Deposit Money ->
Choose PayPal
Now enter the amount
Click Next
Complete the transaction

Once you have withdraw the money from PayPal to Get A Freelancer, again Click on Payment transactions
Click Withdraw Money
Choose Moneybookers
Choose the amount you wanna transfer to Moneybookers
Complete the transaction

GAF will take about a week to transfer your money to Moneybookers account. From Moneybookers you can wire the money to your local bank accounts.

When you wire all you need is Bank Account Number and the SWIFT code of your bank. Search your bank’s site for SWIFT code or call their customer care and check out the SWIFT code. (Check Commercial bank Swift code)

If you still have any doubts please feel free to ask here.

Dialog Mobile Broadband Customer Care SUCKS

November 10, 2008 · Filed Under Mobile, Sri Lanka · 10 Comments 

Dialog Mobile Broadband

Yesterday I found that my Dialog Mobile Broadband’s down speed has gone down to 50 KBps. Most probably I have reached the 5 GB limit. I want to check out how much I have downloaded so far, so I called the Dialog Mobile Broadband Technical support (which you can found on USB modem’s cover) and they have no idea how to find it. A guy over there told me that, I need to check it in My Dialog.

I went to My Dialog but still there is no such thing. Then he suggested me to call their customer care at 0777 678678. I called them and there was a lady answered and she doesn’t know what I’m speaking of. Gradually she hang up the phone to escape from me.

I didn’t quite I called the customer care again and someone else answered this time. That person asked me to check it out in the Modem Software. If you switch the machines then the modem software will not count the download that you made in the previous computer. I was keep on asking that person and that person was giving me several ideas to check out the limit, but we never be able to find it.

I’m just wondering there are anyone knows how to check how much I have downloaded?

I’m fed-up with Dialog customer care and Dialog keeps new people in their front end, who has no knowledge on products. What happened to the old customer care personals? Do they switch to Airtel?

Receive Money from PayPal – Sri Lankan Context

November 6, 2008 · Filed Under Make Money, Sri Lanka, Tutorials · 8 Comments 

We can withdraw money using this technique, but debit card company charging a lot as fee. Found another way to withdraw money to Sri Lankan Bank. Check it out

PayPal

PayPal

Two years back, I could still remember that we Sri Lankans can’t open PayPal account. Now things have changed and we can open an account in PayPal. But the most annoying thing is we Sri Lankans can’t receive money on Pay Pal while our neighbors such as Indians can receive money.

If you registered an account as Sri Lankan user, then you can’t receive payments from other Pay Pal users. In the other hand if you registered as a Indian, US user you can receive money to you PayPal account but you’ll have a sending limit (500 USD) and you can’t cash that money.

If your sending limit $500 reached then you’ll not be able to send money from your PayPal account. If you’re to send more than $500 then you have to verify your account by adding a credit card.

Recently one of my friends found a way to make it cash. You can withdraw the money to Get A Freelancer.com’s account and then you can withdraw the money using their debit card.

I have already requested for a debit card from them and they have approved my card too but yet to receive my card. Once I receive my card I’ll let you know the answer for the million dollar question, how much convenient will it be?

* Personally I’m not encouraging anyone to do so, till I learn the reality.
