Can we Filipinos receive our payout here through Paypal? I heard they have better services. But I read somewhere that we here in the Philippines can only pay through paypal but can't receive payments. Anyone who can give better info on this issue?

hello my friend, I have a friend referral who is from the Philippines. She received her paypout here through paypal. She said she inquired in Union bank about the EON debit card which is link to paypal. She then said, that you have to get that debit card from the Union bank and pay P350.00 and there you can transfer your paypal money to your debit card. What I can tell you is go to the Union bank (the bank connected with paypal in the Phils.) and inquire about the debit card link with paypal. Good day my friend and good luck.

Hi my friend, thanks for making my response best for you. Well, I would add more, my friend said, there is no charge I think when you transfer money from your paypal to your debit card? Then you can use that card to purchase anything? the good thing is you can now join any earning sites here that use paypal. Just inquire to Union bank and you will be at peace. have a good day..

Hi there! We can receive payments thru paypal. I have received my first payout here and it is now in my paypal account. I have heard that it is ok not to have a credit card to verify your acount, you can also have a debit card. Unionbank's and BDO's atm cards can now be used as debit card because of VISA and MASTERCARD logo on them. So I guess all we have to do is open an atm account with these banks. And then verify our paypal account, and withdraw the money by transferring it to our local bank. Have a nice day!

Hi friend. Yes, it's true, we can receive our payments here in the Philippines. I saw in one discussion here that you can withdraw it in Unionbank. I think you have to had a debit card. Not sure. I hope this link can help you. http://www.unionbank.com.ph/ Happy posting. HUGZ!

Yes, my dear it worked and my problem is solved, I appreciate you help, thanks a lot! But I heard Paypal does charge any amount unlike moneybookers so wonder if we can use it instead.

I think this isn't entirely true.. My friend is working through odesk.com and he receives payments through paypal and eventually through unionbank eon account. He said Paypal access in the Philippines was only approved or updated last year. And he's been using it for three months now so I guess its not true.

I am using paypal and I actually received my first payment here on mylot. I still have to accumulate more income more money in paypal. Transferring money from paypal to our local bank will be charged 50 pesos if the amount is below 7T in pesos. I don't see any problem with paypal and mylot as well. KEEP SMILING = NEIL
