Hello my fellow DPers, especially to those Indian webmasters, Don't you think that paypal is really playing with us?? I think all they need is our hard earned money. Isn't this a fact??? From the other threads its sure that there is 'No problems at all with either RBI or NEFT' All other transactions are going smooth. Then why paypal alone got troubled? Isn't it just because they are not interested to solve this soon by submitting the 'whatever required' to the authorities? All the other guys 'who are supporting' paypal are telling that they are working 'hard' to resolve this. What the heXXX they do??? If the same issue happened last year also why they didn't take proper precaution to avoid the same thing this year again???? ""An Indian's back is a not a foot board"" I Really really believe that this is a 'built up' issue by paypal. Just to earn more and more. Think what they can do with millions of dollars if they have it with them at least for a month time without any interest or any risk..!!
Relax dude, its not like paypal scamming you, no one knows the actual reason for this issue, i hope it will be solved soon.
Getjimmy.. The thread is not for 'telling that Paypal is scamming' I just want to tell about 'their attitudes' I hope all of us are ready to pay nominal fees (as they are the only payment processing gateways so far) But why do they want to remove certain features just with Indians? If they want to remove the 'non fee' option why they are not willing to give good currency exchange rates? Isn't all these things show their 'Reputed Attitude'?? That all I wanted to know.
They want to remove "non fee" option just because people started misusing this option, infact i have been asked so many times by writers to send the payment as "personal" even when they were providing the services.Paypal is company and not a online bank. Its all about business and i am not at all surprised that they have limited this option for Indian paypal users. Regarding other payments reversals, its may be case of technical problems or some RBI issues, which i hope will be solved in few days.
they can remove such features when it introduced they also mentioned it can be pulled out. but those idiots now screwing other things too
yes they are screwing us bcz we have abused their generosity of making business payments via personal payments. We screwed paypal for years and now it's paypal's turn. They are screwing us to let us remember for years and we never abuse their system again. We abused and paypal never complained to us and now when (even paypal is not scamming) we all started to make this an international issue. Just calm down folks and wait for a week or so with patience and say AAL IZZ WELL.. and everything ll be well.. Now some ppl talking abt it is racism that paypal banned personal payments to and from India. and I don't agree with it at all bcz we are the ones who abused their system and now we need to pay for it.
Jimmy, thanks for your good reply. But as far as I know there is no issues with RBI - the problem is with paypal side. Why they still till 'with in a few days'. How long this 'a few days' will go??? Chandan that's the exact feel even I have. They can remove whatever they offer. But should be in a nominal descent way. But as you have told...they are just screwing...
Of course my dear friend, but know the fact that they were making good profit. Paypal is not a social service, yeah we all know that. They have right to charge. But they were charging good amount in the name of 'less currency transaction rates' Just think this. While the market rate is 47 or 48 they have paid just 45 and 46. from a single transaction they get minimum 7-8$. Isn't this enough for them?? per day thousands of transactions (or more, sorry I don't know clearly about that) are happening.. then???
I have no idea, it may take a week or month, we can just wait and hope for the best. $7-$8/transaction may be high for you, if you think they charge you lot more than others, then you always have a option to use other services, paypal is not sending you email and saying it "use me".
Dude I agree with you they eat around 1.8 Rupee to 2 Rupee per $ while exchanging. But did you thought why they are doing with us? or did you researched is it only happening with us Indians or also with the rest of the world? like Japanese, Chinese and so on... May be there was the only profit (of exchange rates) they make from Indian account holders till date. and may be soon you ll find good exchange rates.. Don't worry paypal takes surveys time to time and we all report such problems.. so may be this is a good sign to get things better than ever.
Jimmy, its not 'just for me' I'm talking about all of us. How much you get 'actually if you withdraw 200$ to your bank account? Of course they never tell us to use the services. But we are helpless we don't have any other good option. And in fact isn't this the reason behind 'why they screw us'? What do you think???
Man.. you are too aggressive Just relax and let PayPal resolve the issue. Gaali denesevi yeah jaldi byapas anewali nehi
Buddy, I think that we people don't have a problem to pay them a fee for their 'great service'. But are you ready to pay the fee twice? i) with less currency exchange rates once ii) by normal fees again I don't think that this is a good move.. And do you think that they really going to consider all these surveys and all? I don't. Even these guys are not responding properly for the direct queries. Then how can they consider all these things???? High fees don't scare you. But it scare me, of course my fellow service providers too. yeah that's what I have just told. Paypal knows well how important their service is for Indians, and thats the exact reason why they play these with us.
Well we all knows exchange rate always lower even you use Banks when you exchange US $ to compare Buying US $ from banks! So we can't make complain them.
You can use moneybookers and they don't even charge you for incoming payments. I am using it from past 2 years but the bad thing is US pplz can't access moneybookers so you need to find European clients and work with them only IMO.. However a recent withdraw to my bank account with moneybookers charged me $15. but it was not a moneybookers fee it was fee of some intermediary banks. The good thing is you ll get $$ in your bank and ll get good exchange rates from your local bank.
Its not like these issues are happening every month, may be once or twice in a year,so i don't think they are "playing" with us. Nothing in life is perfect.
dude as I told we abused their system for years and there was the only profit they were making with us with poor exchange rates. Now the things are getting better as they stopped personal payments so may be in near future (till paypal fill all of the loss which we gave them from past few years) we might get good exchange rates. and as for surveys yes I think they consider surveys as if they won't why they bother to take them?
What was the amount you've withdrawn?? and also how many days it took for your withdrawal request to be processed? In fact I've never thought about using some other services till the day paypal started this. Now they charge twice.. for three payments I've just got I paid 24$ Altogether for 220$ (3 different payments) and of course again I have to pay while withdrawing.. So a total of 32-35$. I feel MB is better if we can get this processed just with a 15.
nah nothing like that Moneybookers only charge a Lil fee when you withdraw amount with em and it is fixed. They only charge 1.80 EURO means around 2.5-3 USD per transaction irrespective of the amount you transfer with them. Official fee details can be found here-> http://www.moneybookers.com/app/help.pl?s=fees However I have investigated why I got $15 less from the amount they transferred and wrote to their support and also contacted SBI Kolkata DP.. they both answered same that some intermediary banks charged their fee (which was first time with me in past 2 years). May be starting with 2010 some banks have imposed some charges.
