I was away for more than 3 weeks, and incredible things have happened. The best news is that if you’re from Malaysia or any other country without Paypal-supported banks, you can now withdraw your money via Paypal’s debit card.
Previously, the best way to do is was to get a US bank account, and withdraw your funds via the bank-issued debit card or via TT transfer. There have also been a lot of other “dodgy” alternatives that include anything from private debit cards and cash-for-Paypal trades.
This is indeed a good move by Paypal (finally), perhaps it’s because they realize they are not going to be the only ones competing for your online transactions.
If you have a debit card from local malaysian banks, for example AmBank or Southern Bank, you can use it too with your PayPal account. Actually any debit card that allows online purchase can be used, check with your bank first if their debit card meets that criteria.
If you’re from Malaysia and you want to make money from ClickBank, please also have a look at Rahsia Clickbank for Malaysians.

That is a great news for Malaysian. Now, I can take up more opportunity offered in PayPerPost.
Finally! I’m glad that PayPal finally allows Malaysians to withdraw funds from their account. Now, there’s no reason for someone not to start using PayPal for their online business
Hi Gobala, thanks for the backlink. I appreciate it.
I have successfully (and may I dare say, the first to do so?) withdrawn my PayPal balance to my Citibank VISA credit card. I have the details in my blog. Needless to say I am SO happy, so now I’m doubling my online money-making efforts and putting up an PayPal e-commerce store very soon!
this is a great news! finally paypal is a great option for me

Thank you.
I was excited for a while, but no longer after reading the whole thing. Your title says “Paypal Debit Card for Malaysians”, and I thought PayPal is offering debit cards for Malaysians, but the fact is only they offer a withdrawing service. Mind editing the a little misleading title?
If you want to withdrawal the money from you Pay Pal account to your Credit Card then Pay Pal has made that possible in the following countries.
Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, Cyprus, Estonia, Gibraltar, Iceland, Indonesia, India, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lichtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Philippines, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey, UAE, and Uruguay.
Most of this countries have problem with the bank account so transferring the money to the Credit Cards comes as good news for them.
To withdraw funds from your PayPal account to a Credit, Debit, or Prepaid card, add a card with a Visa or MasterCard logo. Debit Cards are accepted only if they have a Visa or MasterCard logo

Hi
I’m new to all this! Help!
Since PayPal now allows transfering funds to credit cards, how do we transfer that money from our credit card to our back account? Do we request the bank to ‘refund’ the excess amount in cheque back to us? Would they charge us for the service?
I do not have a debit card. Should I get a debit card at all or would a credit card be sufficient? If a debit card is more appropriate, which bank should I apply from? Gathering from all your posts, is Public Bank’s Electron card the best option? If I were to apply a savings account with Public Bank and open the online services, can I then transfer funds between the debit card and the savings account freely?
Chez
if i’m not mistaken if you use credit card the amount will be knocked off your balance. so you won’t get the money but you will owe the bank less. i’m not sure about the charge though. if the withdrawal charge applies, you’ll want to withdraw one huge amount instead of multiple small amounts. one way to get the cash out is to use your credit card at the atm the way you withdraw from the card. like you have used $500 from your credit card, you withdraw $100 (plus withdraw charge) you get $95 knocked off your credit so you owe 405 to the bank and then you withdraw from the card $90 (don’t forget you will be charged to withdraw cash from credit card)
*rates are not accurate. i’m just giving an example on how the whole thing should logically work

Why doesnt paypal accept maybank debit card yet?
I’ve tried using Maybank Visa Debit card and Public Bank Visa Electron Debit Card on October and November 2008, unfortunately both cards failed. Is there any alternative? Thanks
i’ve tried Visa Debit card before, it’s not working.
I had the same problem where paypal is not accepting the maybank visa debit card so I called up maybank’s hotline to ask. It seems that maybank has yet to have online payment services for its visa debit card and it will only be implemented in Jan 2009. Hope this helps.

Hi there, I find this statement interesting:
“I have a Ambank NEXG Mastercard Debitcard. With that debit card I can add fund to my paypal account …”
I too have an Ambank NEXG Mastercard debit card. What are the exact steps for me to do so? Do I do it from Ambank’s website or use the “add funds” feature from Paypal’s website? So far, my “add funds” feature in my Paypal account only has ONE option: Add funds from a U.S. bank account.
However, I’m having problems with my U.S. bank account, so I would prefer another method, e.g. adding funds to my Paypal account from a debit card. But how EXACTLY do I do that? Please help. Thanks.
Hi Ern,
I think all you need to do, is make sure there is $$$ in your AmBank account. When you pay for something via Paypal it will automatically deduct from your account.
You don’t have to bring it over to Paypal before you make a payment.

Hi! just wanted to ask a few questions regarding purchasing products online using a debit card such as EON Bank debit card, Public bank debit card, & etc. Do I need to have a bank account to any of this banks in order to use their debit card facility? Can this debit card be use to purchase Clickbanks products online directly without linking your Paypal account? Has anyone ever been rejected/denied? Thanks
aisehman, i just register for public bank mastercard instead of the visa electron. i tried to verify the paypal account using the card but to my dissapointment, it can’t! i have rm25 inside but have not used the card b4. any suggestions? I think probably i should increase more money inside the card and try using it once? what you think?
