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.
Ok, so the problem I'm having is that EVERY SINGLE TIME I try to buy an app that's not in the USA, my bank blocks the transaction because it's foreign. As the majority of the apps I'm interested in are European, this presents a MAJOR problem. Why is it so hard to buy apps, and why hasn't Google thought of a solution to this by now? On the ios appstore, I've never had a transaction blocked even once.
Is there a solution to this? Apparently my bank isn't willing to do some sort of "If it's under $10, we'll allow the transaction regardless" agreement. -_-

The problem is with your bank, get foreign transactions authorised.
until you get the problem sorted why not use applanet? Then when the problem is sorted you can just buy them from the market

He is right...and it is a very simple phone call to your bank. When I say simple, I mean a maze of queues that never end and when you finally get to talk to a real human, they need to transfer you. But once you get to the right person, simple.

Well, they have "traveling mode", but that just unblocks everything and basically opens you up to all sorts of fraud.
Two things seem extremely stupid to me:
1) Google doesn't centralize payments -- this would eliminate the problem altogether. Apple does this, so Google should be able to as well. It's not like this is a 3rd-party market.
2) My bank doesn't have some sort of "under $5" note that they can put on my account to allow any small-amount foreign transactions with no problem. If I had to travel and didn't have time to notify my bank, I'd be completely screwed whenever I got to my destination.

I can find loads of posts relating to restrictions on apple's appstore, where people aren't actually able to buy apps from other countries, even if they're both in Europe.
Don't you have fraud protection?
If I noticed that there was a dubious transaction on my account I'm able to call the bank and have them investigate.
Chances are they'll phone me up regarding it as soon as it happens (had that the first time I bought a € app from the appstore), and if it's fraud and I hadn't been irresponsible with my pin number, they'll refund the money.
What about using prepay CC ?
I can get prepay CC $10,$20,.... etc. at my PostOffice and use that.

Yes and no. They are supposed to be rolling out their own NFC payment system (ISIS) "soon" but continue to block the use of Google Wallet. So as of now, probably not likely anytime soon unless we get root for the S4 and are able to tweak Google Wallet to work.

visa setup a deal with samsung in that they will provide the base functionality (which cannot be restricted by your carrier). I believe it is called paywave. I believe another piece of the puzzle is your financial institution, though I'm not sure how much they are involved in setting this up vs back-office hookups like google wallet.

The bank first has to allow NFC to access your visa account to withdraw the money.
second, they need a mechanizism in place to process and solve conflicts.
Banks are rolling out this option but until this year there were a few phone and/or users that had NFC. By the 3rd quarter we should see banks offering the option as banks switch more and more from the tradional teller services to online services.
I think as long as you have a visa card you should be able to use the paywave.
As of right now on my SkyRocket im using CM10 and their SimplyTapp app. It works great at most BP Gas Stations and McDonalds to pay Via NFC. Hopefully the Visa Paywave technology will work with more vendors that have NFC at the Checkout.
Where did you get the app ?
Well I got the phone, but i don't see it installed, nor is it on google play. Also google wallet says in compatible with your device. LAMEE ! ! !!

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.

Important tax changes for Google Play purchases in India
Hello Google Play Developer,
Beginning July 1, 2017, due to new laws in India, Google Play will apply a Goods & Services tax (GST) to paid apps and in-app purchases made by customers in India. The tax amount will be collected and passed on to you for you to remit.
Action required: To comply with the GST law, you need to update your Settings page in the Google payments center with your Goods & Services Tax identification number (GSTIN) and other relevant information. You therefore declare that the details provided are correct, and the address and GSTIN provided are in the location where the services would be received. Additionally, you agree to reimburse Google for any GST liability (including interest and penalty) in case of any misdeclaration.
Pricing in India will be GST-inclusive. In countries with GST-inclusive pricing, prices shown on Google Play must be equal to the amount paid during payment - all taxes (including GST) must be included in the price. If you have apps targeted to India, you can sign in to your Google Play Console to review your prices for paid apps and in-app purchases in India.
To learn more, visit the Google Play Console Help Center. If you have any other questions, please consult your tax advisor. You can also reach out to [email protected].
Thanks for your continued support of Google Play,
The Google Play Team

Hey I am also an app developer about to release my app on Google Play & now stuck with this.
Please share, if you have any more leads on this.
Thanks
Well this is a serious issue now. I also received the same mail from Google.
I emailed Google at ([email protected]) and asked for clarification on this, but did not got the reply.
I researched a bit on GST and here are my findings:
-> If you have a business, having annual revenue of 20 Lakh per annum or above, then you need to be registered under GST.
-> Every form of online business needs to be registered under GST, irrespective of the amount of revenues generated.
The second point is worth noting. The confusion here is that whether selling apps & games on Google Play comes under "online business".
Also check out the Google Play support article https://support.google.com/payments/merchant/answer/7421525
In that article, it says
GST must be paid on Google Play Store apps and games sold to customers in India.
App or game developers based in India must pay GST
Google collects and pays GST on sales of apps and games by developers located outside India

So as far as i understand this, we are required to get GST number. But wont need to pay GST tax because most developers in India does not make more than 20 Lakhs annually.
Anybody reading this please contribute your findings.

I am giving links https://www.hubco.in/articles/how-g...-india-impact-of-gst-registration-on-blogging , https://blog.cleartax.in/gst-bloggers-register, which say that blogging will be considered a service & income generated through Google ads etc. will come under GST. And exemption limit of Rs. 20 lakh is not applicable for blogging services.
It certainly looks now that paid apps will come under GST as well, without Rs. 20 lakhs exemption limit.
What worries me even more is, from what I have understood is a service provider providing services outside his state will have to file seperate GST returns for each state on 10th, 15th & 20th of every month. If this is true, then we have dark times ahead for paid apps with potential users from different states in India.

Yes, you are correct. I did not go through this properly.
I now wonder if GST authorities are themselves clear on how to approach this scenario
I received response for a query raised to Google & Google itself has no idea whether GSTIN is required or not :
"It is also important to know that due to recent changes in the GST law in India, if you are a developer in India, you will need to determine if you need to charge tax on sales to buyers in India or not.
In this regard, we highly recommend for you to reach out to a qualified tax specialist to determine if you are legally required to obtain GSTIN or not. Hence, if you are required to obtain GSTIN, you must input your GSTIN in your merchant account so that Google can collect taxes for you, and then, we will remit the collected taxes back to you so that you can submit it to the tax authority.
On the other hand, if you do not have a GSTIN number, you would qualify as an unregistered person. If you are not qualified to obtain GSTIN, Google would not be responsible for levy and/or collection of GST on your behalf, as per the GST Law. This means that you won't be collecting taxes from Indian customers. "

What a drag :/
The gst registration requires us to provide a pan id for business, which as an individual app developer, I don't have!
This makes it difficult even if we want to register. I don't think it is currently possible unless we have a registered company under which we sell apps.
Do any of you people have a registered business for publishing your apps?

There's a discussion here if you're interested...
i just want to let you know guys if you are already registered as developer before GST you are good to go,there is no need to add GSTIN number and money will come to your bank wire transfer
GST and pan is mandatory now for new registrations
GSTIN number is optional
Indian government mandates all online businesses irrespective of their net income (Rs.20 lakhs threshold doesn't suit for us). If you are selling apps through Google Play Store or Apple App Store, you need to register for GST. Once you are registered for GST, you should start collecting the tax from your customers and pay it to government. For Google Play and Apple App Store apps, we should show the price which is inclusive of the GST and then pay the GST to government. NO EXCEPTION WHATSO EVER!
Regarding the ads revenue from Google AdMob, We aren't liable to pay GST on the revenue. Since our contracting entity is Google Ireland for AdMob, the revenue is considered as export. We are doing business with just AdMob, not to its advertisers. Since we shouldn't bother about the ads that are shown in India by AdMob advertisers. GST is applicable only to the sales occurs inside India. GST is not applicable to the sales outside of India. Since we are selling the ad-spaces to Google Ireland (AdMob) which is not located in India, the revenue from AdMob is not taxable under GST even if it is more than Rs.20 lakhs.
Did any app developer register for GSTIN? If yes, what to fill in "PAN number for Business"? No leads whatsoever

Thanks but I want to know what procedure he will be following? So that I can do it myself if needed. Will he be creating a business PAN?

He would've told you the procedure if he knew, instead of suggesting to contact a CA.
Don't do anything for now. There is too much confusion. Wait some more
