PayPal into Tune Money

Posted on the December 3rd, 2008 under Money by papabear

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 21^st 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…

Withdrawing PayPal Money to a Debit Card

Posted on the November 22nd, 2008 under Money by papabear

This quick tutorial is dedicated to Malaysian PayPal users who have not tried withdrawing their PayPal money or have doubts that they can actually withdraw their PayPal money to a debit card issued by selected banks or companies.

In this tutorial, I will be withdrawing my PayPal money to my Tune Money Prepaid Visa card. For your information, I have successfully withdrawn PayPal money to my Public Bank Visa Electron Debit card before. This is also applicable to credit cards issued by selected banks in Malaysia but since I do not use any credit card so do not ask me about which credit card that you can use.

Before you start, make sure that your PayPal account has been verified with the card that you are going to withdraw your money to. If you have not done that, please do that and come back to this tutorial later.

1. Log in to your PayPal account.

Reload Money to Tune Card via FPX

Posted on the October 30th, 2008 under Money by papabear

I must have been outdated since I only know how FPX works after talking to Lankapo recently and reading his blog on Tune Card.

So, for the benefit of other outdated Tune Card users like me out there who does not know how FPX works, I have come up with this short tutorial on how to reload your money via FPX.

Why do you want to use FPX and not the other methods mentioned by Tune Money? Apart from saving yourself from a long queue or wait at the banks or post office and filling up those not so friendly form, reloading via FPX is much cheaper and your account will be updated in real time. No more waiting!
