Successful Withdrawal From PayPal To Philippine Bank Accounts

Wow, this is great. Thanks for your post. Now, I feel more confident.

Yes same here i got my remittance from paypal in just 3 days but the sad part was my account has been suspended, paypal is requiring me to send verification documents.

I would like to asked since you have said that your transactions with Union bank account went well. Can you do the step by step guide?. Have you used other unionbank account number or just your EOn bank account number card?. Because I got problems withdrawing money through EON debit card so I would like to asked if we can still get used of EON card?.If yes what is the our bank account number in EON?.

Thanks for visiting my paypal page http://alfredo.palconit.com/archives/paypal-withdraw-banks-in-philippines.html

Wow that’s a great news! Did you ask your bank if they still charge other fees when it comes to wire transfer?

wow! congrats huh?!
ako gagamitin ko muna ung EON ko for a while,
sayang nmn ung 350 plus 500 na deposit ko na.

after nun. paypal to bank na
& one more thing nasa testing stage pa lng e,
takot aq mwalan

bro. wala bang step by step on how you did the transfer of your paypal account to eon?

wow ang bilis. eh yung withdrawal ko last Jan 24, 2008 in pending status pa rin.

jan24 ullkk.. haha! mine too!! haven’t got the money to my card. till now!. damnit

Thanks to Charles advice…I have also successfully transferred from PayPal to UnionBank and BPI account.
Took 7 working days for BPI with a charge of around P150.
UnionBank faster and no charge for when using withdraw to bank
EON card withdrawals still pending
No reply from UnionBank or PayPal to my emails.

@charles

Completed na raw sabi sa paypal ko, pero i checked my UnionBank Eon Account wala pa rin ung money!

I jz hope this will be fine! Sana di abutin ng isang linggo!

I guess there are a few unlucky ones…like me. I withdrew my Paypal funds to my Eon (withdraw to credit card option) last Jan. 30. It’s already Feb. 6 today, and the amount is not yet in my Eon account.

Hi there!

My withdrawal to eon account is completed too, and its not yet reflected in my account, how many days po kaya to appear in my account? im not sure of this! successful na ba ung sau @ lady? thanks!

@EShopcenter

Buti ka pa completed na according to Paypal. Eh yung sa Paypal ko Pending pa rin. Withdrawal to Eon was made on Jan. 30, 2008. Nakakainis na talaga.

Great blog post, keep it up

Here’s the technique i used guys para mabilis ko nakuha ung remittance ko from Paypal. Before withdrawing from my Union Eon card. I added my UnionBank account in Paypal account (Add Bank) by entering the Union Bank Swift Codes. Here’s the Philippine Banks Swift Code list visit: http://www.jedzlinks.com/2008/02/06/philippine-banking-swift-codes/ to retrieve your Bank Swift Codes then after I added ska ako nagwithdraw which I received after 3 days. It work for me, hope it will also work with you guys. Good Luck!

Seems like withdrawal to bank is working for most….but stay away from withdrawal to EON card until they have sorted the problems out.
Seems like everybody that withdrew to EON card from around the 23rd-26th Jan onwards is still “pending”.
I have 2 (26th and 30th Jan) still pending.
Takes a few days after you get “completed” in your withdrawal to bank, till the money appears in your account, but it will come

In my experience, 4 times withdrawing from PayPal to EON debit/credit card, so far it will take 4-5days to appear on my EON account.
I have no idea what is happening to UnionBank right now withdrawing from PayPal to EON debit/credit card option took so long. So sorry for the experiences of others.

oo nga sad to hear that guys. hope union bank could settle the pending issue’s. While in my case sayang ung paypal account ko nakakapanghinayan. But I’ll just figure another way to open a new paypal account, I guess I’d be trying VCC.

I applied for an EON account got the card and all, until now hindi pa rin sha ina-accept ng paypal .. (im guessing its not yet activated). buti na lang verified na ung paypal ko pero sayang naman if hindi ko magamit yung paypal to eon card transfer, guess i have to make a call sa unionbank branch na nag apply ako, right? un. lol.

Buti na lang din pwede na mag widthraw straight to bank account.. thanks to this blog post at na confirm na yung option na toh.. and yung comment ni “lolo” na BPI would charge 150 , kasi BPI bank account ko.

hi,

do you need to add your eon as a credit/debit card in paypal?

or you just need to add it as a bank account in order to withdraw?

guys successful yung withdrawal and it took 3 days lang..
confirmed we can use our eon debit card’s account number.

here’s my post about my withdrawal and some screenshots:
http://spaceofinfluence.blogspot.com/2008/02/successful-paypal-withdrawal-to-eon.html

Huhuhuhu… pending pa rin ung akin. Feb. 1 ako nagwithdraw and the funds are not yet in my account. Tsk. Tsk.

For those whose Paypal withdrawals to EON card (using withdraw to your card option) still pending, I have confirmed with Paypal customer support that they are indeed having a problem getting funds through with a credit card company, and they’re still trying to fix it. So for those who are planning to withdraw to their EON card, DO NOT DO IT, better add your EON Unionbank account as a bank account to your Paypal, then withdraw using the Withdraw To Your Bank Account).

You can read the details here: here.

nagwithdraw ako thru BDO, nakuha ako after 5 days, pero may 200 pesos na charge. here’s my story.

GOOD NEWS TO EVERYONE!

Finally the funds are in my account na.. successful na rin ung withdrawal ko it takes 4 days! hahaha!

here’s my screenshots

Good luck to everyone!

Gaano pala katagal mag-reflect sa unionbank account after ma “complete” ang status sa paypal?

Thanks

I haven’t tried retracting pending withdrawal before but thats possible to do.

hi every1! uhmm… can i use my PNB atm account for paypal withdrawal
only?!

hi there! got a few questions:

1. which paypal account are you using? the personal or the premier account?

2. did i get it right that a unionbank eon debit card can be registered both as a debit card and a savings account?

thanks so much!

hi there idle me,

1. wer using the premier account ever since…

2. union bank known as the debit and credit account…

have a nice day!

quickbuckph

@july
Yes you can use your PNB account, just use the correct bank code when adding it to your PayPal account.

@Idle Me
1. which paypal account are you using? the personal or the premier account?
==>> I’m using premier account. I don’t know why I choose this account . hehehe

2. did i get it right that a unionbank eon debit card can be registered both as a debit card and a savings account?
==>> Yes you are correct. can be use as both.

thanks to all of you for the info.

my only problem now is earning through adsense and my blog being approved by the paid to blog sites.

my blog is just a weeks old so i’m not in a hurry. i’m just excited! you may visit it here:
http://idleinmakati.blogspot.com

i know that i still need to learn a lot of things about blogging. i’m just happy with what i have achieved so far.

So it means whether it’s a personal or premiere account pwede right? weeeee.

I’ve been searching on the intrawebs because I wanna try that bank account thing and not the card.

Thanks!

@Happy
Congratulations and Good luck on your blog.

@Laarni
yes, either of the two accounts will do. I suggest, try the paypal to bank withdrawal. It’s fast and no charge, if you’re using Unionbank account.

this worked for me last feb no probs. pero i tried withdrawing last march 1 and march 5. status was completed on paypal pero it didn’t arrive in my eon account! it returned to my paypal account on march 11. the second one i withdrew on march 5 hasn’t returned yet. this is a big problem. how am i supposed to withdraw now?!

I guess, I’m going to use the same process now as I’m having problems withdrawing to my eon card and credit card. My eon-card was not accepted. I guess it’s because I didn’t deposit money to it yet or maybe it was not yet activated?

As for my credit card, I’m being asked to verify it by adding the code they attached to my billing statement last March 2007. Unlucky me, I can’t find that statement now so I have to request a new code. I can’t check my statement online to check on the new code, so I still have to wait for about a month for my latest card statement. This means I can’t withdraw yet. I’ll try to open a new BDO account tomorrow. Hope this will simplify the problem.

@noypi
You have to call their Customer Service Center and always ask for that transaction.

guys,

i just signed up my paypal account because my customer sent me payment. when i signed up, im required to link a card to verify my account. Question:

1.Should it be a credit card or a regular debit/savings card?

2.As I know verification is ideal so limitations will be lifted. For example i opt not to have it verified, can I still withdraw money from paypal to my bank account like UnionB EON? (not exceeding 500USD of course/month.

3. If I can use regular savings account to verify my paypal account, can i use same account to “Bank Accounts”?

I dont use credit cards and all i have are savings bank accounts. Should a credit card is a main requirement in paypal, i feel like this payment system will just give me a lot of headache before I avail my money floating online.

Kindly enlighthen me.

wow ha, ang dami nyong mga pera. bakit san galing mga yan, ads? pano ba yan?

hi. meron lang ako a few questions about paypal. sorry kung medyo makulit. =)
1. should you have a business bank account (i.e. under a trade name) to be able to apply for a premier paypal account? or will a personal bank account do?
2. do i get the EON cyberaccount or EON visa electron from unionbank?
3. when signing up for a paypal account, do i hook it up with the CARD number or ACCOUNT number found on the EON card?
4. which swift code should i use for Unionbank? UBPHPHMM or 010419995? just want to make sure im using the correct one when i withdraw funds. =)

thanks sobra!!!!

@Larry08

1. as long as you have a real and active email address, you can register as premier or personal account in paypal. They only differ in certian limits and features of withdrawing funds and others.
2. either of the two (EON cyberaccount or EON visa electron) will do. As for me, I am using the latter.
3. when registering your account to withdraw to bank feature, your account number will be used.
4. Yes I am using the bank code of UNION BANK OF THE PHILS which is 010419995.

I hope this helps.

Heads up to everyone: as long as you are withdrawing to your Eon bank account (and not to card) and are withdrawing more than 7k pesos, the transaction is free~ Anything lower costs you.

You can actually find the exchange rate that Paypal uses somewhere on their site, but it requires some digging (I think it’s somewhere under Fees) and it’s rather bad, but there ya go. It changes day to day too T_T

Took me about 5 days to withdraw to my Eon account, but that’s okay with me. It could be faster, but I can’t really quibble.

Hi Charles, informative blog.
I verified my Paypal using my BPI credit card. Then I added my EON card as a credit card but was rejected but then later I added it as a bank account. However, upon reading your blog and comments, I learned I added the wrong number. I added the card number and not the account number. I withdrew my money last May 29 pa and until now wala pa sa EON card ko. Is this due to incorrect bank account that I entered? If this is the case, diba dapat babalik sa paypal yung money ko with charges? Its been more than a week and Im exasperated and I need my money badly. I would appreciate you giving light on this. BTW, I just emailed paypal customer service about this. Still awaiting for their reply. Thanks a lot.

Hi Charles,

I’m really thankful that I bumped into your blog. I have a problem, my client in the US mailed me to let me know that he sent my payment already to my paypal account, but I didn’t get any notification from paypal, and I just realized that the reason is because he mistyped my email, it’s missing one letter. So what will happen now? Can my client still retrieve that payment since it’s not being accepted yet? I really hope that’s still possible because it would really be so bad if I will loose my hard earned money. Please advice. Thank you so much.

hi charles,

im a premier member of paypal.then nakuha ko na un eon atm debit card and i linked and confirmed it to my paypal account,but sad i got limited account now.and one of my requirement is to provide proof of shipping.when i resolve it nd ko naman alam kung anu ang dapat gawin.can u help me?or anybody there experienced what im experiencing now.pls need help

hi charles ,
pagka kuha mo ba ng paypal code that time din ay pwede ka ng mag withdraw.

Hope that i could withdraw also that big… sayang din kasi pag di umabot sa 7000 ung charge na 50.

Hi. I would like to ask if you can use the “Withdraw to Bank Account” option if you have an Eon card of Unionbank? Or is Eon solely for the “Withdraw to Card” option? Thanks.

i luv paypal and eon!

So freaking mad!!! I am one of those unlucky people having problems with withdrawing money from Paypal to my Unionbank EON card account. I withdrew money to my EON card last September 10 and September 18 respectively and my PayPal Account Withdrawal Status is already “COmpleted”. I expected that in a matter of 5 days all things will be cleared and the money will have to be in my EON account. Today is September 27, 2008 but still I am not seeing any trace of my hard-earned money. Is there someone else out there who had the same problem lately?

Chelle, same problem with you. I withdraw money from Sept 11 and 14. Sept 11 went thru but the 14th I am trying to figure it out where it is. I got 22,000 reasons to run after that money. Been going back and forth to union bank sending emails of which either one was never replied. Been calling paypal in the US as well as email. It’s the tracing or the investigation I have been waiting for, they said 24 to 48 hours till now nothing happens.

Here are some revelations:

From the correspondence I have paypal:

1. It has been the usual mode that it takes about 3-5 days to get the funds on my eon, yet around 3 agents from paypal replied to my email saying:

agent 1: 3-5 days
agent 2: 7-10 days
agent 3: 10-14 days

Why the inconsistencies? Does it mean the agents are not well-oriented about how many days it will sink in? Also they said US bank will take about 3-5days and not international banks. But why is it usually it will takes 3-5days before and all of a sudden for 14 days.

2. The supervisor from paypal told me that I have to wait for the 14th day before they start the tracing, the investigation about the money. Indeed I called them up for follow-up and initiated the tracing said about 3-5days.

2.1 I email them up and another agent said it will take 24-48 hours.
2.2 I called up paypal and a supervisor admitted that there was indeed delay on their system and he apologized for it. Finally, he admitted its paypal’s fault.
2.3 I called up paypal again and talked to a supervisor, she did her homework. Send me email saying, they are still investigating and it was wrong for them to say about the timeframe.
2.4 Calling paypal again and the last supervisor like shouting at me and as if she is mad at me coz I have been annoying them, which I should be since it is my money and I don’t know where it is.

From the correspondence I have with Unionbank:

1. I called up the Customer Service and with all the waiting for an agent to answer, I told the agent I don’t want to waste money calling since I am from outside manila and I am calling a number in Manila it will be very costly for me. The agent told me to go to any branch in union bank and let them call Manila for me to make life easier.

I know union bank has this centralized system based in Manila. So, I went to the branch where my eon card was issued. Guess what? Nothing happens. All they told me is that they can’t trace the transaction since they don’t communicate with paypal.

To my conclusion, all they do is issue the card and that’s it. They can’t do anything about it.

2. I get hold with the person assigned to paypal in Unionbank and I talked with him and even their leader, and I was so pissed off I even said swearing words, however, it didn’t even work. They sent email to manila to trace the transactions and the leader told me there has been 3-4 more cases same with me and no progress of the query ever since.

3. finally today oct. 6, 2008. I discover something, I went to another unionbank branch. The woman was very helpful and she talk again to the leader whom I let her call up. As I was listening to their conversation, I heard that there was something wrong with the system for VISA ( the corporate company). I confirmed it with the leader I talked with her and she said yes. I told her, how many cases already same with me and what did you do about them. She said increased to 10 cases already and still no money was credited to those other people same case with me.

4. I do asked her tell me how the system works? She said they will receive a credit report from VISA with the amount, account number and name of the account holder. There is no reference number so called. As you can see, the PUBB code you can see in your system it’s like a transaction number from eon to you when they credit the amount. (as she confirmed)

Now, I am waiting for the investigation to be over and hopefully money will be credited back to my account in paypal or be in my eon account. Also that leader handling the transaction for paypal to eon, I told her to contact VISA about this matter.

I did my homework, diligent enough to investigate who has the fault. Now, came there are 3 parties involved. paypal, VISA, and unionbank (for eon)

Now who is at fault here? Is it paypal due to the Bank of America issue with the $700 billion bailout and they are trying to hold the money.

But I was told by paypal once the transaction is “completed” it already left paypal’s system and it is now on the banking institution which is also logical. Also, they follow certain rules and guidelines like any bank in the US for matters like these.

But what about those threads running around in http://www.paypalwarning.com about paypal, but the agent told me about this issue he said its about more on ebay thing, and there are some measures not been followed that is why its like that.

Or is it Unionbank? Since I have read on the site in unionbank that it has shares in Bank of America, (if I can remember it right). Are they holding the money? But they can’t credit money to eon account not unless they receive something.

Been reading in the threads and its said if its bank accounts no problem with the withdrawal. So meaning, eon which is visa electron classed as a debit/credit card, something wrong with it? If choosing the option to visa card rather the bank account. But yet I have talked with a customer and she withdraw $50 from paypal to her BDO and yet it did not arrived. Hmmmm, what is going on here? Is it the internet banking or the system involved in the internet banking that made the transactions from certain dates in September seemed to be lost in the thin air?

Now, the new party involved VISA. It will now boil down whether VISA is indeed a party to this issue. It is as if there is an intermediary involved that affects the system of transferring the money from paypal to eon.

I am still on the look out now and trying to investigate who is at fault and why these things happened for certain few. Is it because we are filipinos and we are discriminated?

To all readers and who have same issue with me, let’s just hope we can get the answer we have been waiting for and get back our money which we worked hard for. Nobody has the right to take it from us.

I hope this comment of mine have enlighten up your minds regarding this money not credited to our eon account. I did everything yet no money credited.

Where is my money? Who knows where, it might be in paypal, visa or in unionbank.

hehehe yeah verified paypal user n dn ako hahaha for those who want to know other sideline in the internet visit my site po techie.site90.com hekhek salamat po.

Hi Charles! Great post. This is my first time to withdraw $100 from Paypal to my BPI account. I hope it would only take 3 days. Have you tried that? Sana hindi magka problema. Thanks!

I am using Eon to withdraw my paypal fund for more than a year now. I am happy and very satisfied because I haven’t encountered any problem. I usually get my money from my Eon at around 3-4 days.

Just be sure that you are a verified member before transacting.

I’m still planning to get a Paypal account. Hope anyone could enlightened me on these:

1. How will I transfer my funds from Paypal to my bank account?
2. Does my bank account need to be in dollar account?
3. What are the possible fees that will be charged to me and how much would that be?
4. Can I transfer my Paypal funds directly to my ATM account? If yes, how? If no, does it mean I will need to go to my bank to have it withdrawn?
4. Can I also transfer my Paypal funds to my credit card? If yes, how and how much is the fee?

Thanks!

Hey guys its time you should know the truth about transfer of funds from paypal to your bank accounts.
Here are the procedures:
1. If your bank is an accredited bank of PayPal’s bank then it will take 2 days due to timezone difference.
2. If your bank is not an accredited bank of PayPal’s bank then their bank would seek a bank where your bank is accredited (meaning just like a middlemen) kaya nagtatagal.

Like Bank A(paypals) goes to bank B(middlemen/agent) to your bank(bank C) kaya matagal.

Ok.I’m from the bank, that’s why I know.

Kapag sobrang tagal. well mukhang marami siguro ginagawa ang remittance people nila kaya na pepending.

ive tried this before..yap malaki nga ang charge nito..depende siguro sa offer ng mga branch kung mas mabilis ang processing nila mas ok..

woahah..

this is my first time withdrawing from paypal to unionbank too. i now have $200 thru my websites!!! ahihi..
took me 4 months to have this ammount..
