paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

we can no longer receive/send payment with paypal in our country as of 6 june.

I have tons of Ebay accounts from my country and paypals but paypals are useless now.

What alternative should i use?

Should i use Amerian paypals with my countries' ebay accounts?

What would you suggest?

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

What other payment alternatives are allowed for eB greece? Skrill? Paymate? Propay?

Rather than trying to use American Paypals with your existing eb...maybe consider getting US IP and creating new eb/pp combos.

But...do you have US bank accounts to get money out?

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

Where options given for payment methods?

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

I have a BAO account which i opened when i was in states so i can open BAO bank accounts online.

I have given other options such as skrillz etc but none of them will work as good as paypal.

Buyer generally prefers paypal so without paypal , my sells will drop to almost 0.

As you suggested i have another option. I can create new US ebay / Paypal accounts or buy high limit accounts from trusted aspkin sellers..

My Countries ebay accounts are 5-7 years old though.. So i don't just want to leave them.

Please give me any usefull advice that comes to your mind.

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

Oh thats very sad news why they are suspending the operation any reason provided ?
thats first time shocking news i have heard

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

It's also the word. ;)

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

OP, you should look at using another European country's Paypal that allows withdrawal to VCC. There's plenty to choose from.

This would be a better option for you than using US Paypal.

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

Yes it was wasted :)

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

Maybe put your flag to the country you are currently in, it would help us advise better.

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

I was in the Greece last year.. Now i am in Turkey, I changed the flag now.

what advice are you gonna give me then?

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

Why would you not recommend using US paypals/ebays?

I have tons of Bank account in US.

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

if you have tons of US banks then you are good to go, and make a few to stay under limits...

do you know why turkey was stopped? which part is stopped the withdraw to CC or the whole deal?...

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

The only issue with using US Paypal is the SSN requirement if you exceed certain limits. US members can get round it with an EIN. Much harder to do if are not in the US.

Most EU countries also allow withdrawal to a US bank account as well as local bank and / or card so create EU Paypals and withdraw to your US bank accounts. Job done.

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

Well for a start you need to then deal with the 200/$20,000 on the US PayPal, if you cannot get an EIN then you will be burning through PayPal accounts for fun.

If you get one from the EU that allows VCC withdrawals, you won't have to worry about adding a bank account, you won't need to worry about 200/$20,000 per year and you only need to lift the EU receiving limit.

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

I think Paypal has applied to be registered as a BANK but government refused their application and suspended their activity.

IT is like a JOKE... muck government :)

I have tons of accounts and money in various paypal accounts an Tons of items to sell, i dunno what to do :)

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

You have been given lots of options on what to do in this thread, get cracking :)

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

I have tons of authentic Turkish VCC.

Can I withdraw Money to a Turkish VCC?? Lets say a Slovanian Paypal account attached to a Turkish VCC.. Will i be able to withdraw the money to a Turkish VCC?

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

Its a shame how they just flip the switch and people who's livelihood depends on such a thing - is now at jeopardy! Shame on PayPal! How long in advance did they give you a notice?

Advice you have received from other members seems pretty solid. Just make sure you tread carefully, and think wisely now.

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

That's not paypal's mistake , I assume..

Greedy Turkish government suspended their activity. At least, this is what they say on their website. I had spoken to an agent on the phone for least 30 min. She was very pissed of as well, she said she is gonna loose her job in a few months. LoL

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

only you can experiment with this, maybe a small amount.
If turkey is somehow banned from paypal, then maybe turkey vcc are no good now either, eg. blacklisted, you will have to try it.....

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

I take that back. Shame on the financial regulator. I completely understand why they chose to do what they did, but they should have taken into account how many businesses would have been affected.

Here's an interesting read... (NOT a paypal link)

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

Turkey will lose international business and funds...shame for them, they have other issues, they did not need this right now, their tourism has gone down at the moment too...

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

Greact article!! Could not summarize the situation better..

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

Totally Agree,

There are still British Tourists all around though, :) No more Russian.. Very sad.

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

Just saw article about it on Yahoo homepage.

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

PayPal is negotiating with the Turkish Government. This MAY end up being resolved. But it is giving our members in Turkey a terrible time.

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

Erdogan! the guy is a scary. No political talk so will leave it at that :)

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

I think you can able to withdraw the money. Money comes to your credit card. not a bank account.

Please share your results if you try it.

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

Hey guys! I was following this website as a visitor, but the recent news made me to sign up here.
Frankly speaking, the problem is sourcing from Paypal, not Turkey. Turkey wants any payment provider to locate its database (related to the transactions of Turkish accounts) in Turkey just like European Union did the same. However, Paypal did not accept it, or realized it as a financial burden, and didn't take necessary steps, and left Turkey. That process was more than a year, but Paypal announced this decision at the last moment as if Paypal tried it best, and got the gate. Paypal just piles on the agony.
Anyway.. The result is bad for us, especially for the sellers on ebay.
Now, I'm trying to find the best solution to maintain my business. Stealth -US Ebay and Paypal- accounts work for us? Entropay or Payoneer are compatible with US Paypal accounts to withdraw the money?

Re: paypal operations was suspended in my country
 

i am from turkey too.
if i get a new paypal from eu countries , cen we withdraw money to entropay?

Send the Turkish Government an email and just ask "Y U DO DIS?"
