If you're having a eb and pp account in another country, you cannot open a bank account in that country...... at least not until you get there... and it may be very costly to get there.
You can send money to the PP in the country you are in, which is linked to a bank.
Do you understand the rationale behind the need for this now?

Your original statement does not solve such a problem.
No, don't suggest to open the eBay in the country you are in... there are obviously good reasons for not doing so but that's another topic.

You could always move to that country, or open the bank accounts from abroad.

Moving to that country - bad idea if your goods are in another country as there are much better ways to get around this.
Besides, I want to sell to many countries, not just in one country.

Opening up bank accounts in US, UK, AU from abroad is not possible for foreigners.
In fact, it is usually not possible even if the foreigner already has an existing bank account in that country.

Interesting thread this.

It is possible.

Then pls elaborate.
If you tell me that you want to fly, I can also tell you it is possible.
And you will be like

Did you notice that I said from abroad?
It is not so difficult if you are in the country and I have done so in some of these countries.

Anyway, I'm doing some research on that now.
I suppose I can find a way if I really look hard.
Or find another way....

Perhaps best to PM BubbleTea.

I have an alternative method to share as well, though NOT ideal, it has still worked for me.

I have in the past, for testing reasons, had paypal send me a check. It takes forever (took almost 2 weeks for me to get it).

The name on the check was not mine, (it was a business name) I took the check to my banks ATM, and made the deposit into my account this was way and it worked. The bank never questioned it. I had never made any deposit to this account using this name in the past either.

Again, not ideal, but perhaps another method to consider if your in a pinch about how to get it the $ out.

Would it work if you don't have a bank account attached at all? That's the only reason I see to use this method.

If so, isn't there a withdrawal limit if you don't have a bank account attached?

goofball · #**187** 10-16-2012

I think the limit on single checks is 9999.99 (just under the IRS reporting theshold of 10K) however I don't remember for sure. Someone else could weigh in on this if they have the numbers handy, as well the info is readily available on pp web site. When I did mine the check was for about 4k and the bank in my situation attached was actually a netspend, Metabank card.

I believe they would send a check without a bank account available. I imaine this is in part why pp offers this option. However I'm not sure if the same amount 9999.99 would apply.

Good to know, will try it out soon.

Did you have access to the stealth address ? or did you forward the mail from the stealth address to your actual address?

goofball · #**189** 10-17-2012

I had access.

There is nothing wrong with moving money from one PP to another. I move money from unverified PP accounts to verified and cash out.

Make it look like a sale, give PP those 3.4% to keep them happy, put a tracking number and you are good to go. I can see some saying now: No it will get your accounts limited. I've been doing it for over 2 months now without single enquiry from PP.

Use your imagination on creating "sales". I have 12 verified PP accounts to play with and spread "sales" between them. Don't use same amounts, try to keep them low and you will be fine.

People send and receive money frequently on PP and I don't see any limitation if you do it right. Think how most people send money on PP and how much and how frequently, this will keep you under PP radar.

High amounts are now usual activity in PP eyes and attracts their attention. Create as much accounts as you can to use them. PP has to investigate high activity due money laundering act. If you have more accounts you can spread your sales.

No, the amount can be $5000 to trigger banks implementing their reports.
Many factors are obviously involved.

Can you use Payoneer to withdraw money form your Paypal account?

JamesNorth101 · #**193** 07-29-2013

Yes, but not in all countries. Works very well in the US, unsure what other countries can use it.

Read thro' their site.

It is explained in depth what to do.

If you read thro' their community forum pages, there are questions like this. It is answered for users.
Hope this helps.

GreenBean · #**195** 07-29-2013

If you looked at the date of the thread, the past posts were some time ago.

Payoneer was not being used widely.

Besides, talking about good alternatives too much is not always advised either.
