Dhgates new e-wallet
 

Has anyone tried this yet? Sounds like it would make things much easier. Instead of having to worry about changing ip to make your paypal payment, you could make your purchases from any ip, use your suspended paypal address to ship to and avoid paypal limitations. You transfer your money to dhgate by western union or bank transfer where it's held in your e-wallet account for your purchases and you can withdraw to. Sounds like a great idea.

I saw that option the other day but haven't purchased anything off of DHGate since then. They also said you could pay directly from your bank account if it had ACH debit on it but everytime I purchase something that option isn't there. The E-Wallet does sound like a good idea but I would rather just pay for each purchase as I make it. The WU fees aren't that much plus if you have the WU Gold card you get the points.

wu fees for a nice size order is $53

How much is a nice size order? I can send $3000 for only $17 to China

For me its usually $15, I don't like to risk more than several hundred bucks in 1 transaction.

yes,you can divide the orders into many small orders,and make the rist to be lowest.

and then use the profit to make another new order.and contiute to do it.

That's exactly what I've been doing, you read my mind, you're pretty good :yar:

thanks,jbuntz. I think we have common mind for do business.

I think so to teedon, let's chat some time.

Yes,why not it is my honor to talk with a guy like you who have rich experience for doing business.

I'm very impressed with the new e-Wallet system. I have found that my payments are confirmed and shipped with 48 hrs now with this new system. Seems to be a lot more efficient. I have been very impressed with DhGate's service & website here lately.

I think I will use the e wallet for now on so paypal dont have any access to info

Can you fund DHgate e-wallet with paypal and change shipping address?

No, e wallet payments must be western union or bank transfer (wire). However, you can pay your orders via paypal, but not using the ewallet option. You can always change your shipping address within dhgate if you want.

You can do on the site, they give you all the payment info.

So i need to use western union or bank transfer to transfer to dhgate and then i can use e-wallet?

Yes. They even give you a credit (they call it rewards) to offset the fees for Western Union.

I would never pay an individual seller via Western Union, but I've had no problems with DHgate.

wait..I've been using the same paypal address to pay for DHgate. Was this a bad idea? Because my paypal is stealthed but on DHgate i just change the shipping information. Are you telling me that paypal can get my DHgate shipping info?

If you haven't had any problems then you should be fine up till now but keep in mind you can run into problems paying with paypal like payments being reversed and similar annoying problems.

I just made a small order ($250) and just paid with a cedit card isn't that a safe method?

Yes. Perfectly safe. But sometimes DHgate is unable to process credit cards. I think they have some sort of a limit on how much they can process in any given day, which is why they push PayPal so much. But many customers refuse to pay via PayPal (myself included) so they came up with the e-wallet.

I have used it since it came out, and have had no problems.

they can process Cc's Jeff. It's just that most banks and Cc issuers block international transactions to cut down on Fraud. You ahve to call your bank or credit card issuer before hand and tell them you are going to make a trusted transaction and they will lift the block or that transaction or fora day or two. They are just afraid of being liable for transactions made on your acct. from overseas.

I use e- wallet and its fine. anyone ever get limited after making a dhgate purchase with pp??

I have a BOA card and it went through instantly. I did get charged a $6 fee I believe because it was for an international transaction.
