Guys what this mean,I can not pay anyone now using my paypal balance like paying to a coder in USA Or to my hosting company ?
WHAT The FUCK. what the hell Indian regularities wants? We can't send our own earned money and can't use them for purchase. Hey god please help us from fucking Indian regularities.
Hi, this is too much, i think the Indian govt is putting all these regulations, fine they dont want anyone to do freelancing or do online business getting payments through paypal. if they are not allowing to me to use my paypal fund paying others, then theres no use of paypal for me.
Hey guys, I had just made a purchase a day ago using the balance on my Paypal account and today I receive this email explaining the new rules. Welcome to "The New Word Order"
Just to add another thing I noticed is that when we click on the "Withdraw" link you will no longer see the option to withdraw amount to your Credit card option. I believe this has been implemented only for Indian User accounts, any other Indian users noticed this please re-confirm.
i think this means we cant keep funds in our account for more than 30 days ... this is screwing.. Edit Yea it seems we cant pay anyone with paypal funds we are screwed......
yes, they removed the option Withdraw funds to credit card, currently showing two options Withdraw funds to your bank account and Request a cheque from PayPal What excatly Indian govt trying to do with this? but compelling to pay forex charges twice once making payment through credit card and other transferring PP funds back to india.
Shifting from Paypal also cannot help big, becoz the same Indian regulations will be applied all over. I don't think any best alternative to paypal. We have to fight Indian regulations. All Indian freelancers, Paypal users, its the time to make a fight. Let us make a group, make a plan, meet at a place, meet the people of RBI, explain them our concerns, and solve the issue. Just decide the date and start this motion.
Regulatory authorities are trying to kill the paypal business model itself. This is what they do best. Paypal is the preferred option because everyone has it. What's the use of everyone having it if funds cannot be sent using paypal ?
check here the paypal personal payment virus is spreading, next Japan stops personal payments starting May 31st, check Thepaypalblog dot com
this is really a pain in neck... At times I dont have sufficient credit limit in my credit card but have enough money in paypal to pay my bills. I wonder that sooner or later they would even go to the extension of saying "due to recent Indian regulations you can spend your hard earned online money only for buying toilet roll.." ??? However this new rule will help to keep proper accounts. You can deduct your expenses paid thru credit card against the income earned. Check out with your auditor...
This really makes me angry. Its my own money, I can do whatever I want. Who are they to decide whether to withdraw the money to bank or send it to anyone ? Why I cant use my balance to pay anyone ? Is it a black money that I am sending or I am paying to any wrong person ?
