StayinThailand2much Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 What a joke! Just got their email in my mailbox; I should use my funds till December as I couldn't have a PayPal Thailand account. After that I could just 'open a new account with PayPal Thailand'... ????

It depends if you're a Thai national or not. You have to be enrolled in the Thai NDID system and if you're not a Thai citizen, you can't enroll.

I just need a payment app who will accept me as a foreigner, in order to make payments with a proper buyer protection like PayPal had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdsa Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Payoneer does not have any customer support. I've sent them an email on 21st November, got an auto-reply "your ticket was created", haven't heard from them since then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if you can received money after that. Quote Consumer, freelancer or casual seller, entrepreneur or sole proprietor with an account opened before 7 March, 2021: We will be transferring these accounts to PayPal Thailand in December 2022. As part of this process, you will first need to take some actions for your account to be transferred, so you can continue using your account after 15 December, 2022. Please refer to the email we have sent you on or after 11 October, 2022 for guidance. Until then, you can continue to use your account as usual, including shopping with your PayPal wallet, and to send and receive money with it. paypal.com/th/webapps/mpp/thailand-relaunch-faq 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon43 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I use Payoneer regularly to receive payments, which are automatically added to my Payoneer debit card (that I can use in ATM machines). Or I can top up my Wise account using that card. Once your Payoneer account is set up, everything seems to go smoothly, BUT their customer service definitely sucks..

NativeBob Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Seems that PayPal (the original, not BKK office) will continue to function as payment wallet for a while - you will be able to send payments from your balance and debit your plastic to make payments. Without NID. Why? Typical: they didn't complete transfer as was planned in march'22 and october'22. So Dec.15 likely won't be able to receive payments to your account registered in Thailand. Foreigners for sure, but what will happen to Thai accounts with NID - ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdsa Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 the steps are "upload your Thai NDID and confirm your identity" ????♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I use my PayPal account as normal, my kids pay me monthly for their portion of the cellular phone bill in the US and I buy items on-line using my paypal account. Of course I leave the money in my paypal account for my use in buying items. Yet, I have not seen a change from what it was before. Of course thats my view. I did receive a warning e-mail indicating that anything over 600 USD was reportable to the IRS but no changes to my account.

fdsa Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~ Ebay got broken. Just a few days ago I was able to bid on items which have no shipping to Thailand (I'm using parcel forwarding services and thus have secondary addresses in USA and several European countries) but today Ebay refuses to accept a bid.

Pedrogaz Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I don't use PayPal and never have. A credit or debit card is good enough for my internet payments. Funny thing about choice.....we now have 100 ways to pay over the internet....too much choice for me....I lose the will to live when I have to remember the passwords, so I pick one and use it.

Although he is no longer directly with PayPal, Thiel had used his billions to back Trump and MAGA candidates. He sits on the board of Facebook and started Palantir which was instrumental in social network targeting which influenced Trump's election. I have boycotted PayPal on the merits of their terms and screwed up management and board members that support MAGA policies and candidates. Thiel, in my view, backs right wing extremism with elitist beliefs with the conviction that he knows what's best for society. He implements through financial backing and social influencing. Google Thiel to fill in the blanks. Goodbye PayPal and good riddance. (I didn't say anything about Musk but I could). Interesting story in today's Financial Times regarding Thiel's Founders Fund. Last March the fund sold out of nearly all of its bitcoin stake - about 2/3 of the fund at the time. Nothing was reported publicly about the sale. Then in April, Thiel spoke at a Miami cybercurrency conference, saying "we’re at the end of the fiat money regime” and suggested the bitcoin price — which was then trading at about $44,000 — could increase by a factor of 100. https://on.ft.com/3D0d1Db (gift link) Why dump, & then pump up the little investors? Good riddance indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
