Withdrawing payments using PayPal in the Philippines.

Tweet

So I tried withdrawing PayPal balance using BPI over the counter and it works. BPI is one of the banks here in the Philippines. Gcash is like a money remittance payment method thing-a-majing. I think Gcash is having an update which make withdrawing funds from Paypal balance going to Gcash very difficult. I've just discovered that Gcash is using a "pre-approved payment" method so it is really within their scope on how are they going to resolve these withdrawal issues. With PayPal, you have the option what biller would you like to add on your account. In GCash case, since most of my members are using the Gcash portal, they can add their PayPal account as an option to fund the Gcash account. Then again, in PayPal's system, Gcash appears as a bill payment. And by Paypal terms and conditions, only debit cards and bank accounts allowed to w/draw funds. Example... Gcash = Meralco and Paypal = bank.. If PayPal is link via Gcash portal it appears in the PayPal system as Meralco. In some cases that you were able to withdraw using Gcash, it is like paying meralco then "withdrawing the money using meralco account" which is again, it shouldn't be because Gcash is not a bank. Most likely it will allow you guys to push it through once or twice as long as Gcash doesn't updates. Once Gcash makes system updates, the information in the"biller section" of Paypal account will not match the information given to PayPal system previously, making it not the same.. Or not matched. And so I tried BPI lately to test if it is going to work compared before.. Yup, it works. I am happy I got my money.
