I decided to write this review to warn others from dealing with paypal, they have charged me before completing the registration process, and after charging me they have asked for me to fax them extra documents that I don't have, I told them that I don't have that documents, and I asked them to find an alternative way, they replied stupidly asking the same question, I called them and wasted my money on international calls, every one of their rude employees gave me different answers. at the end I asked them to close my account, they refused, they said that the cannot close the account neither they can activate it if I don't send them the faxed papers. Simply they are either stupid or they were stealing me. I still couldn’t get my money back, but I had to cancel my credit card because they had a continuous access on it, and that cost me allot also. There should be a law to watch such companies...
You watch your money, and don't trust those companies that call themselves as a company for your own security; it is a company that will have a full access to your credit card... I lost much with my registration trial with Paypal (www.paypal.com) be careful from this company.
Not my experience. I had to fax them papers on my credit card, if I remember correctly. But that wasn't a problem after that. I think it was a bank statement. I use PayPal almost every week to buy from eBay.
perhaps its because you live in what is considered quite a dodgy country by many others?
all ive had to do with paypal, and ive been using them for years, is enter my card and bank details online, they performed a chargeback on my account of $1 and i had to enter the reference that showed on my bank statement
Paypal has always worked very well for me. From what I remember, I gave them my bank account information and then they made three small deposits. To verify, I had to let them know the amounts of those three deposits. Now, 100's of transactions later, I am a veteran and still highly satisfied. Sorry you had an unfavorable experience.
Ok... Maybe you had some good experience there, but I advice you all to have a look on this site (www.nopaypal.com) and also you may search Google for other peoples reviews on this issue... in the site I gave here, you will find too many stories that are simillar to mine..
they also say that with paypal things goes fine until you face a small silly problem, then you start to suffer, one of them says, that he sold an item for a specific amount of money and after he recieved the payment to paypal they have limited his account and he cannot get him money from them until now !!
read and see how they deal with people,
if you think that they read those fax papers then you are mistaken, someone says that he faked the papers and faxed them and things went fine, where is the security in that? you can steal a card number and fake the fax paper, the more secure way was the $1.95 decuction and verifying it by the 4 pin number, I did that but they didn't satisfy with it, they are like machines, they Don't have minds to use and think, when I be honest with them and tell them that I don't have such a paper, they reply saying: "we are still waiting for the fax" like robots....
the main problem there is that they are not trained to handle problems, when you have a problem then you are stuck there....
one more important issue that i have mentioned: how come they have charged me before verifying my card, they claim that they limited my account because they cannot verify my account, then what if I stole that card, why did they charge the real owner then? they should have asked for all of the papers they needed then they could start charging, that is really silly, common people search google and have a look on www.nopaypal.com, there are books talking about paypal's cheating, you can read everyday a new story there... if you had a good experience with them then this is not meaning that they are good, it is just you are lucky that you didn't face any problem yet!
Okay, let's get real here.
What documents would they ask for that a card owner wouldn't have? Why don't you have the documents?
The domain name, NoPaypal.com, was registered back in 2001 in order to drum up support for a class action lawsuit. Yep, that person had a bad experience when Paypal was new. The "Bash Paypal Bandwagon" was in full force several years ago. You are a little late.
If I stopped using every service/vendor that someone had a bad experience with, I'd have to stop using everything.
If I go to a restaurant that sucks, I don't go back. Don't run around like chicken little yelling "the sky is falling".
they wanted either a water bill or electricity bill in my name, well my card is not issued from the same country that I am currently living in, I was living there once, but even at that time I was renting a home so the bills were not in my name, and I have no other document to send them in my name, so this is realistic, if you don't like to believe that they are theievs then you are free, keep dealing with them , everyone is free in this life, I just liked to warn the other people and give an advice, so take my advice or leave it, but don't regret later!!

so you have a bank in a country were you dont live, no way you can confirm your current and previous addresses and you are complaining that paypal wont deal with you!!!!!
good! im glad paypal wont deal with you, if you were to rip me off, what could i do about it? i couldnt find out where you live or where you bank.
wake up, smell the coffee, get yourself a bank and a real address that you own and pay your way in, then maybe, just maybe youll have some financial credibility
jeesh!
dont tell me... you are nigerian and you have $1 200 419 that you need to invest, but your governmnt charges too much tax.........................
:roll:
you people thing yourself something?? huh..
work your mind a little bit, I dont have to give you all the details, dump yourself and deal whoever you like to, I just wrote my experience, and as I said before you are free to get the advice or leave it,
are you working for paypal guys? you appear to be from UK? by the way I am not nigerean and I do not care about you or the companies in your country, if you want to realy talk about ropping people, then read carefully my story and see how paypal took the money before even getting the fax, then what if really I was ropping someone's card? why did they charge him before getting sure? I was ropped by paypal and didn't get my money back yet.... maybe you cannot think wide.. it is your problem, that is why in your country we always hear such stories, but thanks God we don't have much like those stories from local companies, you even didn't use your mind to look at the flag near my name and your wide imagination lead you to nigeria, cool
for your information, my bank is now handling the case with this stupid paypal company, I respect my bank and I am very happy of their fast reaction against what paypal did, I wont be posting any further details about this topic in this forum cuz it looks like the people here are to fight not to get advices and advice others, you could have read it and either propose me a solution for my problem like someone who did in other forum, or you could just close that page, but you prefer to defend paypal, they probably from your way of defending, you are one of them !
Good luck for the good people..
the reference to nigeria was a joke, the clue was in the monetary amount, for someone so concerned about scams, im surprised youve never heard of the "nigerian 419" scam
google it
btw, i know what country your flag is from, i said as much in my first reply when i politely commented on the fact that many businesses in the world may not trust doing business with people from that country, hence the requests for additional verification of who you are.
the fact that you bank in another country and have no id relating to where you live really makes it of no surprise that they dont want to deal with you.
they charged US$1.95....... not exactly fraud of the century is it?
after sending one item paypal says..international shipment
We are sorry for the delay in transferring the money that was paid by Katrina Baral into your PayPal account. We hereby inform you that the money that we are ordered to transfer into your PayPal account (€180.00 EUR) is too Small for us to transfer into your PayPal account due to International Transfer Limit from our PayPal Transfer Department Unit and the new Policy of our PayPal. So the real amount that can reach your account from our PayPal Transfer Desk start from €400.00 EUR upward. we contacted Katrina Baral about this situation to make an additional payment of €220.00 EUR into your PayPal account.
We are happy to tell you that Katrina Baral have made an additional payment of €220.00 EUR into your PayPal account which is already deducted from the buyer account. It's already confirmed and approved by us which means the total amount of €400.00 EUR is approved and it is ready to be credited into your PayPal account TODAY. So we think we can sort the problem out by you sending the Excess Fund. Katrina Baral ask us to tell you to help him send the excess fund of €200.00 EUR to his daughter and use the extra €20.00 EUR for the western union charges and for your transportation.
You are advised now to go to any western union Outlet/Office and send the excess fund of €200.00 EUR to his daughter and get back to us with the western union details so we can verify and get your account credited without any further delay.

Sorry, but that's a lame excuse. My 15 year old son has a debit card (and sometimes buys apps). If nothing else (and there are tons of ways to get a debit card), you could get a gift card and use it to buy apps. If you feel you must steal apps that cost less than $10, then you have more problems than just not having a credit card.

I disagree. The LP dev is stupid to only allow paypal payments. I would have purchased it a long time ago if it wasn't paypal only.
I am NOT supporting warez here. Just my $.02 on the paypal only thing. I believe LPP would be used more if it didn't require paypal. At the point that a dev is circumventing the market, whats the market for?

whoa whoa whoa.. speaking out of turn here. Not all devs live in places where they are allowed to use google checkout, or to put paid apps in the market.
Don't call the guy stupid just because of where he lives. His country (Uruguay if memory serves) makes it impossible for him to use the market for a paid app. Paypal is his only viable option.
And pirating any apps is completely pathetic, but of course, it will happen. I wish I didn't see it in forums and threads on sites where developers and consumers so regularly go to support android. But, stupidity will be stupidity...
Furthermore, I'm a little confused by the way the author gets apps from the market. you can't bill to carrier, you have to use a credit card (unless you're on ATT, and even then, a month ago you couldn't). Does your mom buy all your apps? If that's the case, they why can't she buy you this one?
With T-Mobile you can charge your account as well! To be honest OP pay for the app!!! Support the developer!! Borrow a friends card! But don't take the slimy way out and look for a free pass! What if the shoes was on the other foot??

Maybe the author doesn't normally buy paid stuff. I have been on Android for years, and I have only purchased ONE app. I have donated to a few devs that make roms, but I typically don't buy apps. I WAS going to purchase LPP, but once I found out I have to deal with paypal, I quit. It's not worth it for me to go through transferring money to paypal, (3 days) and then making a payment to LPP, only to wait until the paypal payment has been recieved (another day or two) just to get a $2.99 home replacement.

Visa. MasterCard. Go to just about any bank, grocery store, or variety store and purchase one. With PayPal, you don't even need a CC. Just open a checking account.
BTW - I agree paying with PayPal is not the best option. I had a bad experience with an app and I will never do that way again. However, I still will not steal the app.

Umm you don't have to actually pay with your PayPal account, they just do the processing, you can pay with whatever credit/debit card you want. I don't even have a PayPal account and I bought the app just fine using my debit card.
PayPal can be used, can't it? I think these developers work extremely hard and it's difficult, even being broke, to use their fantastic programs and not compensate them for their time and effort.
Think of the position you're in... if your valuable time and hard work went without reward and you got no return on your investment, you'd be upset as well. It's just a couple of bucks here and there. You can EASILY find these on Google but please, don't do it, man.
I'm all for warez when someone is just going to be used once or if I'm uncertain if I'm going to pay full price for something. But if something is honestly worth the money, even my cheap ass will buy it. This world is ****ty enough. Don't go ripping off developers.

And then you live on the continent where you can only get a credit card if you make over 20.000 a year...
Which means about 90% of Europe can't buy anything from the playstore. That's about ohhh.. What's 90% of 750 million?

Not what I meant. Google Wallet requires you to fill in Credit Card data in your account before you can make any purchase, regardless of wether you intent to do it via your credit card or provider billing.
Market enablers just unlock country-specific filtering, which is pointless as there is no filter on the Dutch playstore.
Europe uses Maestro, a direct-pay card. (meaning you pay directly from your account, as opposed to having a monthly bill.) (Which you know, seeing as you're from Belgium, I'm just clarifying for everyone else.) You can't use a Maestro card for Google Wallet.
We (meaning our household) have coupled our RaboBank credit card to the Pplay Store aco****s we use. Works like a charm, and you pay from you bank account at the end of the month. I'm pretty sure that the ING has the same option available, so it's not like we are without options in Europe.
That being said, we are above the amount you interjected, although that is not too difficult if both adults have a paid job. I suspect you are still a student, so that'd explain the financials -- not that that will change substantially once you get your Master's degree and start working you first job. Obviously, your monthly addition to your bank account will increase enormously, but so will its export once you have to pay real-lif rents. And this gets even more pronounced when you'd opt for an advanced degree (like a PhD)...

Hi, I need to know if there are any apps that can transfer money from Google play to PayPal using inapp purchases, either downloadable via the Play Store or Off-site. I want to buy a few things that require PayPal, but have no way to add money into PayPal . I also do not own a credit card and am not planning on getting one at all. Please help. :good:
Hi there,
Digging up this old post.
I have a similar problem with Google Play credits.
I have credits from the Google opinion rewards app. Also my phone carrier supports carrier billing and I have a reasonable amount of unused credits there usually. The problem is all these credits are bounded as AUD (Australian dollars). There are a couple of apps and games that supports IAP but they only accept USD or JPY. When you try to pay using the carrier billing option, you will get a message "Purchase currency is not supported". I went as far as asking my carrier and they say it's not something that can support "in the near future".
There was also a closed thread about similar request: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2103287
Someone could possibly write an app that supports IAP, and then transfer that amount to anywhere in other means (e.g. PayPal). Of course you will lose part of the credits since Google charges 30% for IAP, and also PayPal has a fee (I can't remember exactly what and how much), but still better than nothing (depending on how desperate you are I guess).
Then of course there's also the problem of trust here, and how to do this securely.
Any thoughts anyone?
There's an app that I use called Payback. Gives you a 50% return on your money and is transferred to you via PayPal. Never has a problem with this app and definitely safe to use. Link: https:// play. google .com/store /apps /details ?id=com.nikkell. payback (take out spaces)

Read the comment above. According to Google's rules, you cannot withdraw money.
Are there any apps now in 2021 that allow you to spend your google play balance on an amazon gift card or something? I've got a couple hundred dollar play balance that I'm not going to spend, even if I had to take a 50% hit, it'd be worth it.

Yup, there is an app called CashOut that I have used a few times. They are giving 60% conversion from google play to PayPal. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cashapp.cashout
I have an iPhone. So my google opinion rewards is linked with my PayPal acct. I don’t get surveys nearly as often as do my friends with their android phones. However, mine goes straight to my PayPal acct as soon as I hit $2.00. Every time.
