redqueue 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2006 I don't think Paypal can link to Singapore bank account. You have to link your Paypal account to a Credit or Debit Card. Are you able to apply for a POSB Debit Card? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redqueue 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2006 Only US bank accounts can be linked to Paypal. Debit card is like a credit card execpt no annual fees and is linked to your bank account directly. No credit, and direct debit from your bank account. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clemo 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2006 But do remember that there is fraud too in Paypal. It favour the Buyer more then Seller. Buyer can revert payment anytime even when money is already in Seller's bank. And paypal just debit the money from your account. Just becareful.

pegasus21 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2006 So I guess knowing a friend is the best then. Anyhow, beware of paypal. Heard cases of people's accounts being closed and cleaned out... so don't leave your money in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shiro MS08th 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2006 I think the best choice is to get a debit card yourself. Only requirement is to be 17 years old and above. Most banks no annual fee, other then dbs, but if you're first time signing on, will have 5 years fee waiver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
