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 want to learn how to use PayPal, here’s the best place to get video tutorials: PayPal Malaysia

Im having same issue like others.I currently have to pay someone who already send me an invoice on paypal. i have sufficient ammount on maybank acc. but the message “Sorry, your payment won’t go through. To make it work, you’ll need to add money to your account and pay with your PayPal balance.” appear.
need help…..
alright thanks for your feedback, bro
@spawnkumar – you can purchase online without “adding funds” to your Paypal account. Everytime you make a purchase online, Paypal will charge your Maybank Visa debit.
So even if you do not have funds in your Paypal account, you can still make purchases using Paypal, provided that you have added your debit card to Paypal.
So answer to your questions:
Do i need insufficent balance in my paypal account to buy things?
> No, provided that you have added your debit card to Paypal
If it is how should i increase the fund in my paypal account so i can do payment ? Or is it directly get deducted from my debitcard account ?
It will be deducted directly from your debit card account.
i dont think can ADD FUND in my paypal as i received below msg…buyers if credit card its charges directly from account i think….
how about debit card ?
Add Funds is Not Available
——————————————————————————–
PayPal does not currently offer the ability to add funds from your bank account.
When you make a payment, PayPal charges the buyer’s credit card and instantly credits the seller’s PayPal account.

i used rhb debit card to get paypal verification. it’s really work without any prob. but last june they decided not to allow any paypal transaction due to they need paypal to have 3D secure code for visa/mastercard.
bottom line, for a verification, it really works:)

Yup that a good new for all of us but as for Maybank account holder I do feel the pain as they dont provide the services yet?
OMG what’s happening to M2U always says big but yet so dispointed with services….
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.

I can’t add my al-rajhi visa debit card for withdrawal purpose, can anyone advise me?
I have a Ambank NEXG Mastercard Debitcard. With that debit card I can add fund to my paypal account, however I can’t use the card to withdraw. My advise is use the Public Bank Visa Debit Card for withdraw purpose.
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.
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
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
just like a lucky star for a malaysian with paypal acc.
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
You can start your Pay Pal right away with $25 free that you will get when sign up on Widgetbucks
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?
Hello Bala,
I have spent sometimes (in fact more than 3 hours) just complied the list from varies bloggers experiences on PayPal withdrawal.
The summary list will be able to help you and your readers know the big picture on which are the cards able to withdraw PayPal fund.
Please let me know if any updates you like to contribute and I hope you will be benefits it.
Check out the PayPal Announced The Official Guide on Debit Card Withdrawal Features full post from my blog.
Thank you.
this is a great news! finally paypal is a great option for me
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!
Hi Gobala, thanks for the backlink. I appreciate it.
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
That is a great news for Malaysian. Now, I can take up more opportunity offered in PayPerPost.
