dear all,
I'm with a serious issue here!
I need help from those who reside in INDIA but all can answer so that I can get a brief idea.
I'm residing in South India and am using paypal to recieve some little funds from a client.
In these 6 months i earned $150 in my account of paypal, which is the minimum to request a check or withdraw the money.
i do not have a credit card or anything to verify my account. my doubt is to make a withdrawal, we need to be verified or not?
moreover those who got a check from paypal in INDIA, pls tel me it took how many days to get the check at your home address, after the online request. Also tell me how long it took for the clearance of the cheque from paypal in your SB account. Those who used the citibank account will get 3 days for clearance know. So, be specific to mention your bank name. Finally what's the conversion rate of paypal. I heard that paypal is converting USD to INR @ 42.5 which is less than the exchange of today. To know the current USD to INR pls visit www.workfromhome-currencyconverter.blogspot.com and reply me. Takecare, have a nice day to all and thanks in advance for the best answers which I'll get here!!!
(footnote: don't confuse with cheque and check both mean same; in USA its check and INDIA its cheque)

No you dont have to be varified to accept the check from Paypal. But they pay far less than the amount you deserve you will loose at least INR5 for each dollor from Paypal and this is where they make money. Its like the local Sabziwala who weighs 900 grams of vegetables and charge for 1 kg. There is one thing you can do to avoid this, get converted your money in e-gold and then get your e-gold via Western Union though you have to shell out a large fees in these conversions. Keep informed of the developments.

if i'm not wrong i read it somewhere that cheque from paypal will be discpatched from paypal singapore. and will be sent through citibank, and will take upto one week for the amount to show up in your SB account. and as for the exchange rate i think it is lesser then the market rate. i do not think you have to verify your Sb account, all cheques are sent account payee, which would be the name you'v given to paypal.

no need to convert the personnel account to premier one, unless you're in the need to accept credit card payments from anybody around the world!!!

As you're getting the payment in terms of INR there'll not be tax issues I think.
But if you recieve USD check then the RBI will deduct some amount while getting the clearance of cheque itself.
hope you're clear now!

According to me, there is no need to verify urself as the chek u get will be in ur name and moreover crossed check. Secondly there is a processing fee of $5 when paypal has to pay international check. So i dnt think so anythin is wrong in dat. As far as conversion rate is concerend i have no idea abt it. I think so u need to provide ur account no and ur banks swift code to get ur money transfered.I m nt sure abt this, but u can find it out with paypal.

You have to verify your Paypal account to withdraw any amount of money, currently your withdraw limit must be showing 0$, to verify you will need a valid VISA international credit card (You can get it by any reputed indian banks, example HDFC, ICICI), after adding credit card Paypal will ask you to participate in Expanded program. When you finish the verification process you will be given a 4 digit code number. Paypal will charge you credit card about 1-1.6$ just to verify it. After the process is completed they will credit your money again. After that you can ask for a cheque request. It takes about 3-4 days to process the cheque and about a week or so to reach your home address. You cant use credit issued on other person name, it must be yours only.

Can online shopping be a good option for those who don't want to have cash payments...or it will be another losing idea..
Or Ikobo can be a alternate option....

This is a good topic but i would advise that those who are in india and who want to make a purchase can transfer the money to other account to be more clear:
rameshgopal365 has 150$ and he is in south india and iam also in south india and i want to purchase a $50 thing from paypal so i request ramesh to transfer it to my account and i pay him $50*45 in todays conversion rate to his bank a/c immediately so that he dont loose any fee in transaction and get it earlier and also mee too benefited...
This just an example how we can help the unverified people...
any suggestions

Mr rameshgopal, you have done a good thing to post this thread. If what you have said is true (that is we cannot get less than $150, i would like to say the paypal guys are fraud!!!! Even if they deduct rs 5 per dollar while converting the rupee, they are even bigger theives. Now, i would start seeking some other alternative mode to this. Have u heard of ikobo?

I agree you ver well!
Actually i completed a task to my client which worth INR 10000 but paypal deducted from me in 2 ways.
1. As my client used credit card to paypal transfer, paypal charged some 2.99$+.
2. As I requested a cheque they just converted @ 43.81 or something less than this, even though the conversion rate on that day was 45.86.
Hope paypal is the millionaire, without efforts to earn!!

It takes about one week atleast to transfer money from paypal and show up in your bank account, they use singapore bank accounts to transfer money to your account, thats as much i know. If you know something other than that please tel everyone here as they also might benefit.

As far as I read in the Paypal.com, Indians can just request the payment through cheque, by just going to the payment option in your member area. You can withdraw money in paypal only through cheques in Indian rupees and deposit in your local bank. If you are not a verified member, their are some limits to your withdrawal which is clearly mentioned in the web-site.

Can you give the figures of the limit for an unverified member like me?
