At long last, PayPal Philippines can now received and send via PayPal. This is confirmed at yugatech’s blog in which he showed that he was able to transfer money to his local paypal.
This is a very good information for all blogger and those who have an online business. Even there is a restriction in withdrawing the money. I believed that there are still ways to withdraw it , Say for example via xoom.
Below are some reactions and explanation you may want to consider before receiving payment thru Paypal
abuggedlife.com has also something to say about the Paypal.
Mike Abundo has promised to post some site which receives only paypal
Abe Olandares explains that the Philippines is still not in the full paypal support since we have to used third party to be able to get the cash.
My suggestion will be like this :
If your transaction would agree to use xoom.com as an interface, It would be better to use it. Since you just to pay one party in doing transactions. and if the transaction restrict to Paypal only, then you can now use your paypal account.
You just have to fix an amount before transferring it thru the use of a third party account. For Example you can only do it in xoom if it is above US $ 25. And remember that the higher the amount you will transfer the lower the percentage of payment you have to pay at the third party.
Updated : I would suggest you to open an Account in Philippine ABsed BAnks and enroll those account in Paypal Philippines. I am doing transaction to PayPal via Credit Card. Since I am based in Saudi Arabia although my account is based in Philippines.
If I where you I will enroll to paypal and start making money online. See Link Below in enrolling.
Well happy blogging.
Update : Since PayPal Philippines is now functioning well you can enroll to their system by pressing here { Paypal Enrollment } so that you can now transact online. I have other post regarding Paypal Philippines in This blog. So If you have any question regarding Paypal Enrollment please let me know thru my contact page or comment in this post.
This is 2008 announcement which does not have any progress yet. Until now, we are still looking forward for paypal to enable verfication process through local banks. Up to this point, it still need a credit / debit card that has a mastercard/visa logo.
This is very uncomfortable still, to those who doesnt want to sign up for a credit card. or cant afford an international debit card for such purpose.
This announcement is not completely a good news for all of us. You still need to have a verified account before you can withdraw using a local bank account. This is a little bit uncomfortable for people who does not have CREDIT CARD or a DEBIT CARD that has Mastercard or Visa logo in it.

I think you have to apply first in xoom and enroll your local bank.. Then Xoom can make the interface for PayPal.

@Dexter, hi. I am also having an online tutoring job and my student planned for a transaction thru paypal.
He sent money to me before using paypal->xoom, yet unfortunately, this connection ended between paypal and xoom. So, my problem right now is HOW HE could send money through paypal (since he does not trust other online sites with his credit card)and if there are other online remittance centers which can be done through paypal just like the paypal->xoom as stated above.
If I were to claim through paypal, it would be fine but:
-For my account, should i use a credit card or debit card named after me or I could just use a credit card for example, my mother’s credit card.
-I’m confused with the US Dollar and the PESO accounts. He sends money in DOLLARS.
@Eldee,
Normally you could claim the money from Paypal if you have a credit card or debit card under your name.
I’ve been contemplating lately weather or not to sign up for a US paypal account. I’m glad I didn’t. This is really a VERY GOOD news for me and for all Filipino bloggers. Thanks for the info!
