PayPal into Tune Money
Mission accomplished! After successful withdrawal of money from PayPal to my Public Bank Visa Electron, I had decided to give Tune Money Visa a try. Since I managed to successfully verify my PayPal using the Tune Money Visa, I believe it should not be a problem withdrawing money to the card. Furthermore, I am already using the Public Bank card for my PayPal Premier account and therefore, I can only use the Tune Money for my PayPal Personal account…
Based on previous experience with Public Bank, the money would be in within 4 or 5 working days. I made the withdrawal from PayPal on the 21st November 2008 and if calculated based on 7 working days, which is the longest number of days mentioned by PayPal, the money should be in latest by 2nd December 2008…
On 29th November 2008, Azrin made a shocking comment that Tune Money might have problems receiving money from PayPal. That was right after the end of the 5th working day and I logged in to Tune Money to check for the money and it was not there…
$105 may not be big to some people but it’s a huge deal for me… That is at least 3 years of hosting fee covered!
Then I got worried! I started hunting for some horror stories about PayPal and Tune Money, hoping to find none but I got a few…
The first one was at Blog Marketing Malaysia by Steven Wong who mentioned this:
Tune Money Debit Card works out able to help us to withdraw Paypal fund, indeed, it is another good news for us as SOHO who keen to know more options for us. Apparently I believe it is not ready for PayPal yet.
I know that it’s an old post dated 20th November 2007 but that is enough to give me the chill… Further hunting led me to an entry at Paying Off Credit Card Debt Fast and this is what was mentioned there:
It has got nothing to do with PayPal. PayPal completed the transaction on the 15th! Even if Tune Money wants to believe that it’s because of PayPal, then let’s assume that PayPal needs 7 days (Trust me, PayPal never takes 7 days) to complete the transaction, the money should have arrived in my Tune Money Visa debit card account on the 22th. Today is the 28th!
That post was dated 28th September 2008! That was just a few months back… I went on further and found another one… This last one (I did not feel like looking for more) dated 26th October 2008 was really scary. It is at Credit Card Debt Mama Pays Off Credit Card Debts and here is what was said:
My PayPal funds withdrawn on the 15th September finally arrived safely in my Tune Money Visa debit card on the 23rd October. 38 days!
It’s PayPal that caused the delay. Not Tune Money. It’s not Tune Money’s fault, but PayPal.
However, this post put the blame on PayPal and not Tune Money and that made things worse…
Anyway, I decided to wait until the end of the 7th working day and that was yesterday. I checked it again at Tune Money and there was still nothing there. So, I wrote an email asking Tune Money to check the transaction from PayPal. As of the time that this post was started, I have not got any reply from Tune Money…
This morning, at about 2am, I logged in to my Tune Money to check my money again and guess what? I saw a new balance in my account. I checked the transaction and it is confirmed that the PayPal money is in. So, it was not within 5 to 7 working days but it was after the 7th working days… What a relief!
The rate that I got was not bad at $1 = RM3.602
So, now I have concluded that I have been able to confirm that Tune Money Prepaid Visa Card and Public Bank Visa Electron Debit Card can be used for PayPal withdrawal in Malaysia.

Based on discussions with my friends, it is advisable to use other cards to withdraw your PayPal money. I will be withdrawing back to my Public Bank Visa Electron card and this will be my first and last PayPal withdrawal using Tune Money. All the best to you!

Hi, Vedis the Credit Card Debt Mama here…;D
Let me give you another fright. It happens again. This is the second time.
My PayPal withdrawal was completed on 20th November. It’s still not in my Tune Money Visa Debit Card yet. It’s been more than 12 days already.
According to PayPal, there have been problems with PayPal withdrawal problems among Malaysians.
It never happens to Singaporeans, but always Malaysians. Why is Malaysia so notorious internationally?
By the way, I used to receive my PayPal funds within 3 days. Very fast.
I can only make an official report to PayPal after the 14 days.

vedis, mine went in after the 7th working day… and since it was a day late, I was not too worried about it. However, my next withdrawal will definitely go to my Public Bank Visa Electron as I have done that twice and they arrived in 4 to 5 working days… Thanks for the information!

Tunemoney doesn’t allowed kids under 18 to register with it.
Humm, it seem like I should stick to EON Bank Debit Card since it is the only card that allowed underage kids to use it and can activate the paypal.
why cannot under 18? lol
btw, congrats for the transactions success !!

titan, tu lah. cam citer vedis tuh. kesian dia. dah second time kena. aku rasa kena bagi more time to tune money to improve. dorang kan baru lagi. macam pbb visa electron tu handle by public bank… that’s why lebih smooth…
syuxx, i thought they have the red card which is meant for 15 to 17 year old. Check this link: https://www.tunemoney.com/publicPageAction.do?value=page.ppc.redcard.public.redcardhome

So,mana satu bagus? Guna Debit Kad Public Bank or Tune Money claim PayPal?
papabear
public bank card is much better based on my experience.

I wonder if we can use a credit card to withdraw Paypal money instead of debit card. I don’t have any debit card and wonder if I should apply for one to withdraw more than USD500 from my Paypal. The money is stuck there after my Virtual Money Inc debit card linked to USA bank was cancelled due to bank closure.

diana, last time I have read (but have forgotten where) someone said that he has successfully withdrawn his PayPal to a MBB credit card. I do not have a credit card and therefore, I am not able to test that out. Why don’t you get one debit card for that purpose but be careful, not all debit card is accepted by PayPal. I have only tested 3 of them. PB Visa Electron and Tune Money are OK but MBB Visa Debit is not.
Diana
papabear: thanks for the prompt reply but I wonder how much you have to pay for services to withdraw using your debit card from Paypal. Is is cheaper than a credit card?
Diana´s last blog post… Freelance Web Designer
papabear
diana, PayPal charges $5 for withdrawal to both debit and credit card. No charges from the card providers as far as I know except for the gain and loss due to exchange rates…
Diana
Ok. thanks for the info.

Tune Money is SUX! On 27/11 I top up my card at CIMB and untill now my card is not been top up yet. I call their customer service but the number is currently not available WTF.
And then i emailed them but the server reply that their inbox is full and can’t accept messages now. I don’t know whether this company is still exist or not. What should I do, hope you guy can help me out.

aireplay, actually that happened to me too. make sure you still have the receipt. scan it and send mail with your complain to assist@tunemoney.com.
do not use the one on the web to report your problem and use the customer service number on the website to call and that is 603 – 2092 8555.
Mine was resolved after I wrote my complain on the ex-ceo of tune money’s blog but since he is no longer the ceo, there is no point in doing that.
I suggest that you keep on calling them for the problem to be fixed.
all the best!
bob
finally i got my card! simple & fast.. thanks papabear!
papabear
bob, that’s good to hear. you are most welcome!

i will totally cancel my plan to get this debit card. thanks for telling this terrible story, u really saved my life..
papabear
