mat999 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 For those who have a bank account in Thailand and use PayPal, do you use your home country PayPal account and add the Thai bank account to it? Or did you open a new PayPal account just for your Thai bank? PayPal are known to hold money/accounts when they think something iffy is going on, so I don't want to risk that. Thanks.

Crossy Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I failed miserably to get a Thai bank account linked to a UK PayPal account. Opened a Thai PayPal account using a different email address, QED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2702 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) Ok I have an issue I'd like some advice on. Have ebay uk account sitting dormant as it's linked to my ex's paypal account but I want to remove that account and add a Thai bank account or should I just create a new paypal account in uk and use the thb account? Nobody done this? Edited July 1, 2017 by Rc2702 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowgard Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Years ago it was no problem to use your UK account and let shipping the items to Thailand. Now it don't work. You can't pay anymore with a UK Paypal Account and let ship it here. Paypal had forbidden this way 2-3 years ago. https://www.paypal.com/th/selfhelp/article/can-i-add-a-postal-address-in-another-country-faq2100/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianwheldale Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Just opened a Thai PayPal account this week to link to my Bangkok Bank account. No hitches, all done and verified. Added benefit is, I understand, that you can now transfer money via UK Bank=>UK Paypal=>Thai Paypal=> Thai bank account. Not tried it myself yet, but supposed to be straightforward. No idea how much you will lose in exchange fees, but articles I've seen suggest hundreds of pounds rather than thousands are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a UK Ebay and UK Paypal account and have easily swiched between 2 addresses on EBay... UK and Thai. I have ordered items and had them delivered to Thailand without any problem. There are of course some suppliers who will not mail to Thailand. Your link took me to Thai script (Thai paypal) which I cannot read.

volsfan Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Several years ago, I had US and Thai accounts. Sent money from.one to the other. Within micro-seconds the transaction was reversed. Reason.was suspected fraud. Didn't mind that so much. However, in those micro-seconds, they converted the money from USD to THB and back at their rates. What came back to me was over 100 USD lighter than What I sent. Tried like hell to.get my money back. PayPal is not a bank and virtually unregulated in.Singapore. They can, and will, <deleted> you.over with no recourse. When it was said and done, they claimed I.violated the TOS and made me close one of the 2 accounts. Closed both. <deleted> em.
