I am curious to know how all you paid posties (even non paid posties) who have an account with paypal withdraw your money. As per my enquiry, it seems that they do not issue cheque and the only way to withdraw is to add a bank account, which is not available in Malaysia.
What I do now is transfer the fund to my BIL who is working in US and trust that he does not wallop my money. Kidding! Actually, I know I can trust him. He has checked for me and sending the money via Western Union is just not worth it, too costly. So, I am waiting for him to update me on the cost of issuing a cheque and sending it back to me. My last alternative will be for him to bring the money back to me as he will be coming back in 6 months time.
So, how do you guys do it? Share share ok?

When Michelle was here, she was contemplating of transferring her paypal money to my paypal acct (which i don't have yet). For me to w/draw money should be free. Then she will bring cash back with her. I think that's the cheapest route. Or, you can always use your paypal money to buy stuff on ebay or pay for your domain.
Check with Msau...good luck!
hehehe... u wanna pay me commision? just joking. you transfer to my account. then i transfer to my bank account here, and then i transfer to my ipoh account (when i TT money home, i don't charge u TT fee) and lastly either i transfer locally to your bank or i write a local (M'sia) cheque to you.. complicated? provided u trust me not to eat up your money :P
Vien - I think that's my option too, going through my BIL. PPP is for my children's savings as current pay can save peanutslah. So, don't intend to spend much.
Jess - Thanks!
Sweetpea - I can understand what you are saying. Same way what I'm doing now, through BIL. Btw, just curious, how much is the TT and which bank are u using?
Sweetpea - Almost forgot, thanks for the offer, very touched by your thought :)
here is aust is westpac and everytime i TT money back to ipoh account it's AUD$20 per transaction if i remember correctly. not much considering transferring a substantial amount.
I have a FULL FLEDGED UK based account with the HMRC Anti-Money Laundering License to begin with,so I trade without fear and problem.
Having a UK Based acct means, all funds are in STERLING,so no excuse they shut my acct down etc, unless it's by a court order.
Actually,there are loads of ways to have a US Bank account without you being there and I'm working on a direct solution for most people now,cos mainly E*Trade costs a bomb to setup,and not many have that $1000 to begin with.
If you really need the money, can send to me in GBP, plus £10 transfer fee.It's NETT from Paypal, so it's USD->GBP (x 0.48) and minus 3.5% Paypal ah-long fee.I'm a postie on PPP so, alot of you hate me for doing alot of corner kicks out of the system.
if you really want that permanent solution, let me know and I'll just fwd U the paperwork. it's DIY.
Best wishes
