This web site probonanza.com contains information about opening an US bank account for non-us resident.

I hope this help.

Hi Liew, I like you blog. Thanks for all the info. Question: I understand that the sales of AccentCardVisa in malaysia is managed by MK Deals - the same people who wrote MalaysiaPal. Is this true ? Can I get my AccentCardVisa through MK Deals ?

Mine is still not working.

I've been calling them 3 times already (since the 10th) and they had the same answer: "It's a known issue. We are working on it"

Damn Paypal...

This doesn't be a problem! I thinks is only temporary. Anywhere I think that's better open a us bank account first.

Hi, I had the same problem and it was resolved last month. I'm surprised that you have only encountered it this month.

I suspect Paypal is doing a checking on every individual Malaysian account. If not, this problem would have occured all at the same time. Hmmmm....

Yahoo! (just a note, I like Google better :P) The problem is fixed :D

I have just found out that some people who added a fake us bank account info and deleted it from their account getting 'Limited'. Can anyone confirm this?

I've emailed Paypal twice and the answers were the same 'problem is still under fixing at the moment. When it is resolved, you may receive the funds again.'

I've just managed to accept/claim money just now after trying many times for the past week. Looks like the problem is resolved.

Phew, the issue is fixed, now we can receive funds without adding the bank account, but I think on funds withdrawal is OK for me, since I use Pay Pal to buy items in eBay though, it is better that I have the balance inside my Pay Pal.

This PayPal might be an issue of them because they just upgraded themselves as a "bank" now?

My question: Singapore's bank accepted by PayPal, so how about Maybank@Singapore? Does PayPal accept that?

Well, you can still receive payments that are automatically added to your PayPal funds :)

Now is also the end of the month, but still getting no answer about it too.

How bad.. Guess I will ask my friends to use Telegraphic Transfer or any other method that can pay to a bank account instead of Pay Pal then.

@LuckyLily: before making direct international calls using telekom line, we need to first dial 00 , then follow by the country code. For USA, the country code is 1. So, it would be: 00 + 1 + Area Code + Tel #

The problem about this matter is not yet solved. Guess we will need to use either Tele Transfer method or by make a US bank account..

It is kind of risky by making bank account of US (since we are not live in US).

Hopefully Pay Pal will solve the matter as soon as they can.

Problem still persists. Whether, paypal has made it compulsory or it still remains as a myth.
