Who says PayPal doesn't work from T&T

tekno1 · Postby **tekno1** » July 9th, 2008, 8:09 pm

I've seen several posts that had to do with PayPal not working from Trinidad and Tobago.

Is this still a problem for some people? And if it is, what credit card are you using. Because i got my account to work perfectly. I even sent some money to my nephew online yesterday using the PayPal method.

You can send money once you verify with a Credit Card but you can't receive...which blows cause I receive donations on my website, so I have to share with a friend from the States...

That part kinda sucks though.

The other drawback I found is when ordering items off ebay and some other sites using the TT account they keep your addresses locked to Trinidad. So even if I try inputting an alternate CC address the Country defaults to Trinidad. Kinda inconvenient when trying to ship to a skybox.

Did a US account using the alt address and I can receive but can't withdraw funds and cant verify the account. Reached my sending limit yesterday

Anyone got a way around this? So you can use a verified TT account but still have an alternate US address listed?

DF1_2nR,
that is exactly my problem with them too...........any one got a workaround?

I have tried on several occasions and I get a msg. saying that the authorization was denied by the bank that issued the credit card...contacted the bank's cc dept, went in like 3-4 times, even got the re-issue of a new card but it still gives me the same error message.....this was up to a couple weeks ago. Anyone registered recently and got thru?

you cannot have a verified or confirmed TT account because you need a US address and account to have it done... reason is why you cannot receive $ but only send, sending from your credit card of course.

and tekno1, paypal only started back taking TT cards about a year ago. they did it before and they pulled off TT cards because of fraud... but now they started back accepting TT cards.

:lol:

never had a problem doing this, stuff always gets to the right place (in the US). for things that cost a lot i usually email/pm the seller before and say eh, dis is d address ting ting ting, never had sum1 dig a horrors before.

pugboy · Postby **pugboy** » July 10th, 2008, 7:29 am

to receive you need a bonafide US bank account for the money to go to
credit cards are meant only for billing ie sending

also paypal sends/receives via electronic transactions which are not possible
with local banks since they can only wire through a third party bank they use

paypal takes a lot of commission though its almost as bad as western union

How?

Anybody know if its possible to have 2 separate accounts linked to the same card?

[X]~Outlaw · Postby **[X]~Outlaw** » July 10th, 2008, 9:49 am

never had a prob with paypal...and to make sure they send it to my shipping address and not billing I just send the seller a email/message directly telling them where to ship to

blackNshine · Postby **blackNshine** » July 10th, 2008, 9:57 am

no. I have two paypal accounts for 2 different cards. One of them has my US skybox addy added as a secondary address. I use that account if i am shipping to US. Else I use the other account with the Trini address if i am shipping directly to TT. However, as stated, if you email the seller and tell them your shipping address, it is usually not a problem.

And you do not need a US credit card. Locally issued works fine.

Ok.. now im confused. Does the receiving problem have something to do with the particular credit card or the local bank?

btw. i should mention im using a Visa Reloadable Card. I dont know it that will allow me to receive. I'll check with Republic and let you know.

Bumping this thread.

I want to add my local address (my skybox is there no problem) to my paypal a/c

Anyone did this? Or do I have to sign up for a new Paypal a/c?
