So, this is it....my first time to spend my earnings. I spent 80% of my earnings last night. Since my earnings are so little to withdraw, I was really eager to spend them on something online. While browsing for some slippers, this online shop appeared on the top list. I checked on it and saw that they’re accepting paypal too. Upon browsing, I put 3 items to my cart and really thinking hard if I should hit on the checkout. So, I did. With all the information I gave, I am hoping that I could get my purchases one of these days. Honestly, I am nervous. What if I wasn’t able to get them? All my mylot earnings were spent to nothing. Oh my… Have you tried using your earnings for shopping online? Was there any particular problem that occurred? Please share. Hope all of them are good experiences.

It is thrilling really to shop online provided we are dealing with honest people. You will be ok. Do get back when you get your stuff. And as for us Indians we cannot keep the money in Paypal which is a sad thing. I earned quite a bit in the few years that I am here mostly from tasks but we are deprived of that joy to shop on line. I was planning on getting chocolates.

We cannot keep money in paypal that we earn in dollars. That is our government rule!

Cannot keep? As in forever? Even though you will not be spending them? So what do you do with your earnings then? Just withdraw or transfer?

Thanks for that, I hope before the week ends, I already got my stuffs. I bought 2 slippers, one for me and one for fiance. And also, a sling bag. I wish on spending them too for chocolates. Why are you deprived of using mylot?

I only keep my money on my Paypal no more then $100. I'll withdraw it to my bank account, $2 that deducted by Paypal is not a big fee. So why have to wait? But last time, I could get it up to $125 from a single site. Hope I will have those chance again, but from different site. It mean, I get new money resources rather then that site.^^ WISMILAK.

25% deducted from you? My bank didn't charge even a single penny. When I withdraw my money, Paypal will deduct some fee. About $2 and that is it, the rest of that money will come to my bank account without any deduction. In that case, no wonder if you prefer to use it for shopping online.

Wow, you're earning big $$$. My paypal is already linked to a bank but since it's too little, I don't want to withdraw it because the bank charge is 25% of what I will get. So, it's too much for me. Anyways, I just tried shopping online. Just hope this turns out good. Wish me luck too.

I mean basing on my earnings, it's like 25% of it will be deducted. But in estimate, the bank and paypal charge is almost $7. So big amount. And when I withdraw my small earnings, with that charge, I prefer spending them online.

It seems that a lot of people here use their earnings here on online shopping and I think that it's a good way to spend your hard-earned cash, as long as you know you are purchasing the right items from the right store. Personally, I'd like to see the times and try it out first before I purchase it so I would rather buy it in stores in person. This is because I am unusually tall for my place and most things sold here are of sizes not for me, so I have to fit into them first and make sure they are just right for me. I also want to see the items personally because I believe that some things only look good on photo and really just look ordinary or worse in hand, and I have had first hand experience on this. So, I wold just like to make sure that my money is well-spent. I'm not saying that online shopping is a wrong idea, because if it is I'm sure a lot of people would have already said it is so, it's just me. Anyway, I hope you made the right choice and enjoy your purchases soon.

Well, if it goes good it's a nice catch and if not, as they say, just charge it to experience. Still, I hope you made a good buy.

My fiance asked me, what does the bag looked like? I said I don't know, and I don't even know the size. Haha! It just looks so cute. Maybe when it comes to clothes and shoes, I won't be buying it online. I have a very bad shaped feet, not for a lady I must say. So, slippers would be fine I guess. Thanks!

hi adnileb So what did dear adnileb end up buying? Chocos? Ah, I read slippers somewhere on the discussion but that is just one item... For me and buying online... Well I have only purchased twice - and here is the better and successful one - I purchased a space for my website way back in 2008 - those days, Indian Paypal allowed us to buy things online. Today, we cannot use Paypal to buy anything from anywhere. All money starts getting transferred to the linked bank account within 24 hours and it takes 5-7 days to get into our bank accounts so that we can cash out. back to discussion (i keep going away from these many times now) - I still have that space and account active and though I have changed my website but it still is hosted on that firm's account. I have to renew annually and use the help of a friend to pay them as he has a Credit Card. So he pays them, and I repay him.

Ah, no chocos... so what will you stuff in that sling bag? Books... Office Stuff or even the items those ladies carry!... poor bag!!! Though it is good that you got your fiancee a set of slippers may I ask what did he get you? Okay, Okay, I am not inciting any fight between you two here but still, I wanted you to have some chocos and was expecting you would share some with me.
@adnileb (5276)

My earnings was short with about, um, few cents? So, chocos will be for next time. Don't worry, I'll share the 3/4 with you. Oh, my fiance got me a piggy bank that I love when we went to a mall. It looks so cute that you really wanted to put on some coins with it. A nice way of saving.
@adnileb (5276)

No chocos for this time. I bought 2 slippers and a sling bag. But the other slipper isn't for you too. It's for my fiance. i keep going away from these many times now - so you noticed it too. So,you bought an online stuff too. I don't have much idea on online things even though there was one time, I really wanted to have a website. Well, just want to try it out.

I just had my first payment here too days ago. I didn't withdraw it too. I hadn't had the chance to connect it too in a bank account so I just let the money stay in my paypal account. I had spent some of my earning too. I had registered in a friend's online multilevel marketing. Good thing I had found a good trader online. He was the one who paid for my registration after I had sent him some amount through paypal

I was really planning to save it there until it is high enough for free withdrawal. But I really wanted to buy something for the holidays and a gift for me of course. That's why, I risked buying online. So, it is possible to use the paypal money even though it's not yet linked to a bank? Thanks!
@adnileb (5276)

Yes, it's a big amount. I didn't get any eon too. But I did link my paypal to BDO so that my Paypal account would be verified.
• Philippines
15 Nov 12
Yes, that is possible. I am an example. . I have paypal but have no eon from Union bank because I have no time to go to the bank. Beside, 350 is such a big amount for me just for the yearly fee. I will use the earning in buying online so let my earning stay on paypal.

I always spend my online earning on ebay and online shop, there was time when my item not arrived but the seller contacted me to offer refund or replacement so I chose the refund. The seller was pretty communicative and asked if I have received the item, and when I did not get it she was willing to refund my money before I asked it. But I understand sometime lost and delay could happen especially due to high traffic before holiday and end of the year. Just give a little time, maybe it is still on the way to your address. By the way, when you purchased the order do you get tracking number so you can track the shipment? Hope you get your item soon and enjoy your earning.
@adnileb (5276)

I'm afraid there's no tracking number yet. It says there that once the orders are transfered to the warehouse, and is ready for delivery, they will email me the tracking number. I wanted to try ebay but I was kinda lost when I'm going through it. I keep on checking my mail today for possible update. Hope to get it soon. Thanks!

Is the order from within your country? If it is from overseas, it may take even longer to be delivered. They should be able to give you an estimate time for delivery; then you only start to worry when it takes longer than estimation.

Hi adnileb. I also spend my earnings buying stuff online, for the same reasons as yours. It's not only that it's just a small amount, there will be surcharges too because of the money conversion to our local currency. So far all of my online purchases have been delivered without any glitches. I do hope that you receive those goodies any time next week!

I shop at ebay and ensogo. I was able to buy a box of orange juice (that's 12 one liter boxes) at a good price. With ebay, they deliver. With ensogo, some items can be delivered, while some you have to pick up at their office.

Oh, the exchange rate wasn't good. So they have to deduct big amount of $ from my paypal since I am paying in peso. I chose for my items to be picked up at the courier station. That's why I can't expect it on my home. I'm thinking of calling them but I just e-mailed them this morning. If no response for the whole day, maybe I should call them tomorrow. Just want to know the status. Today is the second day.

I've searched for their Facebook account and sent a message asking about the status. They said it's now on process and I should wait 3-5 days. They will send me the tracking # once available. So, now, I have until the 20th to wait for it.

I've encountered some mylotters before who are spending their earnings in shopping online too. I hope the site you chose is a legitimate one. I've tried buying online before but we deposited the payment to the bank. Goodluck. Please post a follow-up discussion here when you already got your slippers. Thanks. Happy mylotting.

Congratulations! I did not earn much, but I withdrew it anyways. I just wanted to be sure that I could do that in my country. And It worked. I am sure your purchases will arrive. Since the website is working with paypal, it should be a legit web. And a friend of mine told me that you can claim to paypal if your purchases didn't arrive, paypal will trace it for you and get your money back in paypal. So, just keep the receipt.

Yesterday, I sent a message at the shopping website and they told me that my orders are already in place. Last night, I received an email from them containing the confirmation and the tracking # for the shipment. So now, I just have to wait at least 3 days for my purchases to arrive. It's good to hear about what paypal can do in case the transaction went into nuts.

The charge for withdrawal here is too much especially when you're going to withdraw a small amount of money. So shopping online is my way spending them. I just tried it then maybe I will now start saving them all in my paypal. Thanks!

Be positive. Usually, things bought online are delivered in a day or two. My office mates are also doing some online shopping. But of course next time, be sure to make a research about the company you are buying things from. Personally, I waited until my earnings from online reached a certain amount and transferred it to my bank account. I receive the amount in a matter of 3 days. Have a nice day!

Oh, I spent few minutes staring at my order list. Thinking twice if I should go for it or not. I checked on some reviews and read some blogs about the site. I only read two of them and they all said good things about it. So, I hit on the checkout button. (fingers crossed) I wanted to save up to 7000pesos so I can withdraw it for free. But I am way too far for my goal. I think this is a better idea of spending my earnings. ONLY if this transaction will go well.

Hi adnileb. Well I used to transfer the funds from paypal to my bank account. I never treated them separately. But now that I need some money to take care of some debts. So I am thinking of saving them in order to clear off the debt and take out a huge burden off my head.And after that if I am left with some money I would definitely love to save them to make some online purchases like a kindle or a tablet. Anyways have a nice day ... -SuperShames-

Hello! Congrats on spending your hard earned earnings. :) Well I haven't tried using my earnings yet, but I did try to buy something online just the other month. I found this really nice wallet in ebay. It was my first time to shop online so I was so nervous if I would get my purchase or not. But what I did before buying, I researched the seller, check if it was a reputable seller. And it was shown that the seller was a powerseller in ebay. Meaning that she has 100% rating and she has good feedbacks from all of her customers online. So I went on and purchase the wallet from her. Our transaction was smooth and there are not hassles. :) I guess, one tip that I could share is that to research the seller and check out if she / he has positive ratings. :)

That's good to hear. My transaction was with a site and not to a specific person. It's like e bay too but I think no specific person who owns the stuff. I already contacted the customer service and they said that it was already on process. I should wait 3-5 days though.

I wanted to save them though but i don't have enough money onhand to buy a bag and a slipper. So using my earnings for online shopping is quite helpful since I don't want to withdraw it because of the big amount on bank charge. Good to hear that you haven't had any problems with online shopping yet. Can you recommend a site then? I might be trying them too. Thanks.
