Payoneer Offers Deals in Response to PayPal India Problems

Rene · 02/10/2010, 12:52

Due to the recent problems with PayPal India, Payoneer is offering ScriptLance customers special deals to help withdraw your funds. Payoneer, which offers programmers a debit card to easily get their hard earned money, will waive fees on ALL card loads and ALL card activations, as well as offer FREE FedEx delivery to new Indian customers, until the end of March!

About PayPal India issue: This week PayPal India decided to stop allowing personal payments to and from India.

Quote:

Suddenly, Paypal India has introduced a policy change, creating an outage which renders Paypal totally useless for small time users. As per their new policy, Paypal has stopped allowing personal payments to be sent to or from India, which means PayPal can be used only for business transactions, that too where there’s some proof of delivery for goods or services (such as shipment tracking number/billing address or other such evidences)

See article here.

We contacted PayPal for information and were told:

Quote:

We temporarily suspended these payments due to inquiries from the India regulators about whether personal payments constitute remittances into India.
We are working with the regulators and our bank processing partners in India to get this resolved as quickly as we can. Personal payments to and from India will be suspended for at least a few months until we fully resolve the questions from the Indian regulators.

So it seems these problems will continue for some time for Indian customers. We suggest those with personal accounts upgrade to an Indian business account at PayPal. If your ScriptLance withdrawal has been reversed, please contact supoort to advise us and we will return the funds to your ScriptLance account. Thank you.

In response, we contacted Payoneer to see what they could do to help ScriptLance's Indian programmers in the mean time. They agreed to offer the above mentioned deal (the activation and load deal applies to all countries, not just India). This offer will expire Wed, March 31st, but any withdrawal requests will have to be made by Tuesday, March 30th, to qualify for the free load.

We know how important PayPal is to the ScriptLance community, so we hope this info helps. Check back for more info as it becomes available.

Hi Rene,

Nice to know that you actually put in the efforts to help the ones those who are effected.

Is the free load applicable only to new cards issued OR does it even apply to existing Payoneer card holders ?

Cheers!

@ Rene: Our transaction got reversed even though have Paypal Business Account.

@ Nuked24 & unnimaxx: As soon as you go to the withdrawal page in your ScripLance account, you'll find an option of 'Payoneer' there. Select it, click on continue then it will redirect you to the Payoneer registration Page, there you need to fill out the details and need to verify yourself by providing a Personal Identification Proof (Driver's License, Passport, etc.) once registration gets completed, Payoneer will start verifying your application and will reply you with a message of Approval or Disapproval of your application with in 2 days. Upon approval, your card will be dispatched to you and with in few days you will receive your MasterCard Debit Card.

2. with out any withdrawal i can register in "Payoneer" it possible.

Thanks

angilina · 02/10/2010, 14:31

The payments made by SL or any other freelance site is Business Payment and not personal payments.

PP has stated that paying for good and services is still allowed so not sure why SL and other Freelance sites can't make payments.

Aniruddh · 02/10/2010, 14:32

1.) Just deposit your PayPal funds to ScriptLance through this link.

2.) Yes, you can.

Asus2004 · 02/10/2010, 15:02

Oh my God ,

I'm afraid this may increase the problem of withdraw order trouble at ScriptLance

Now withdraw to Payoneer will be overloaded , yes ???

No. ScriptLance does not do money exchanges. You cannot deposit your PayPal funds just to withdraw them. Sorry.

This shouldn't be an issue, since requests will simply move from PayPal withdrawal to Payoneer withdrawal. The total number of requests should remain similar. We have it under control.
