I Just Received my First Ever PayPal Payments

Jan 26, 2008 by     15 Comments    Posted under: Money Matters

Today is a great day. You know why? I just confirm that my dollar transfer from PayPal to my Citibank VISA Credit Card has been completed. I have transferred a total of $175.

I have paid $5 to PayPal to do the transaction and actually it is completed in just a week. After verifying my account with the credit that they have charged my Citibank Credit Card I Immediately transfer the amount on my account.


I am glad to report that I have received the amount thru my Credit Card. What is surprising is the exchange rate is higher than expected. They have given me an exchange rate of PHP 41.85 to  $ 1.00 . It is good since the prevailing rate in the market is almost PHP 40.8 only.

The only question that I still need to study is why there is a limit of withdrawal of about $500. Even I am verified user. I still have to check this out. Anyway I am not yet reaching $500 in my online transaction. Let see in the future.

  • My limit is $5,000 I guess (verified premier member).

    Now, my limit has been lowered back to $100.00 temporarily cause of some issues on my account. PayPal still hasn’t refunded me my $1.95 verification fee. 🙁

    Fortunately next time, you won’t have to pay additional charges and hopefully won’t have to wait a long time to get your withdrawal now that PayPal has started offering direct transfer to Philippine bank accounts.
