Sad News for Indians, Paypal has announced That it is Changing the Withdrawal functionality in India with effect from August 1, 2010. ‘Change in Withdrawal’ functionality means that you can NO Longer withdraw your Funds to Bank.

. To Compensate this, Paypal has directed its Indian Customers to Request for Money Withdrawal via Check and is Refunding $5 USD Check Withdrawal fee (which you had to pay for cheque withdrawal) .
It is Clear Now, That you can No Longer use electronic withdrawal service until Paypal Resolves this Issue.. Paypal writes That it is working ‘tirelessly’ to resolve this withdrawal of funds issue. Paypal has not Pointed out the Cause for Changing the Withdrawal methods. and calls it as “In accordance with regulatory instructions” which we think it should be as per RBI Instructions…
No Matter when they restore this service, Indian Users are the Big Time Losers here, facing the same problem once again… For Indians, Most of the Online Money Transactions are carried out using Paypal. There is a Tough Time ahead for Bloggers and Online Marketers who heavily depend on Paypal for Small or Bulk Transactions. Though Withdrawing money to bank account has been completely stopped by Paypal, It still offers Making Requests via Cheque for Free… which Indian should feel happy about..
