Urgent Request for Information re Death of British Citizen in Thailand

[overherebc]

Can someone settle a discussion/arguement.

 

Can you register for paypal use if you only have a direct debit card. Has Visa logo but is also marked not for electronic use.

NB.  It's not a credit card, it's direct debit.

[petermik]

DD card linked to a Bank account should be fine

[ubonjoe]

I use my Visa debit card on paypal.

[OmarZaid]

I did 4-5 years ago ... no problems

[seancbk]

Which bank? 

With Kasikorn you don't use the debit card, you set up a virtual visa card and that works.

 

 

[Jonmarleesco]

As far as I am aware, yes, you can. But with a debit card, not a 'direct' debit card. Direct debit is a form of standing order.

I have a Debit card issued by BPI bank in the Philippines. I opened a Paypal account and linked it to this account. I have used this Paypal account many times to purchase air fares over the internet without any problems. 

[Pib]

Sure I've linked debit cards to my PayPal account.

 

The "Electronic Use Only" statement still on some cards just means it has to be used in way that provides on-the-spot authorization like at an electronic terminal, in an ATM, etc.   Setting up a PayPal effectively does the same thing....an electronic verification. 

 

In the olden days a person might have an imprint of their card made on a slip and then you sign that slip...the merchant would then process the transaction later.  A For Electronic Use only card could not be used in such a transaction.

What It Means

 

The little machine you swipe your debit card through at the store has a name: a processing terminal. There's some high-tech hocus-pocus involved, but essentially, when you swipe your card, the terminal contacts whatever institution issued the card. The bank verifies the debit card is valid, checks that your account has money in it, and instantly authorizes the transaction. If your debit card says "Electronic Use Only," it means any transaction involving the card must receive this kind of on-the-spot authorization.

Log into Kasikorn Internet Banking and create a virtual visa shopping card.   You'll get a visa card number, expiry date and CVV number that you can use online.

Link that to your Paypal account and if there isn't enough money in your paypal balance it will take it from the card (direct from your Kasikorn account).

How are the exchange rates and fees for such a virtual KK card compared to a Mastercard from a western bank?

No idea.  I just use it and don't even think about the exchange rates.

[abizeus]

If you look at .... www.paypalwarning.com  ....OR  www.aboutpaypal.org ..... OR  www.nopaypal.co.uk

You'll possibly find you wouldn't want to register or give them any details or deal with them in anyway.

And probably a good reason why Ebay will stop using them soon - Ebay is slowly pulling away from Paypal now and will be using another company by about middle June 2020

Kasikorn local branch won't let me do anything new without a work permit. Even international transfer.

Been retired for 3/4 years and I'm not going back to work just to do a few small transfers every year. ??

[cmsally]

Use my paypal with my BKK Bank debit card , works fine.

Beware of getting an insensitive letter from PayPal if owing them money when you die.   See partial quote from the news stories weblink below
