Now Indonesian can withdraw PAYPAL

Now it is easier for Indonesian to withdraw fund from PAYPAL. The fund can be withdrawn via US Bank or Credit/Debit card.

You may want to check it in PAYPAL website.
Then go to "Paypal Worldwide" and select your country.

It is good if you have a USA Bank, because PAYPAL can directly transfer the money to your bank account.
For Credit Card, there may be exchange rate or other fees involved. But of course it is still better that we still can withdraw our money.

Get an acceptable "withdraw" address

Lot's of virtual offices available in the internet. For Indonesian, I have found places which can be applicable.

1. USA VO:
If we don't want to spend so much money, you can apply for a US address.

You can pay by your credit card. And very soon you will get a US Address that can be used to apply Paypal, and of course with a US address, the "withdraw feature" is enabled.

2. Singapore VO:
Quite close to Indonesia. So far, I found the VOs in Singapore offer about the same price, and normally the require yearly contract. Some of them even offering to assist you in opening Singapore bank account.
And of course, Singapore is closer to Indonesia, so we can easily pick up our mails, in case we travel to Singapore.

setup the foundation first: how to receive payment

For me, I choose to start with setting up on how can I receive the payment.
There are several ways to receive the payment. But on my opinion, Paypal is most popular one.

For you who don't like or can not setup Paypal, there are some Paypal alternatives as well. All of the payment systems has their own weak and strong point.

But for me, I want to start to sign up with Paypal, the most difficult one for me. I try to find the legal way.

...more information to come.

needs to have Paypal account legally? for the people in countries that have limitted Paypal service

So, this is my first post. I will keep on sharing from time to time.

After hours of time spending in the internet, I found:

1. Websites that offering help to open account in Paypal (by paying of course).
2. Websites that selling e-books on how to open Paypal account in US.

Some of them also appear in this blog adsense. I can see they are quite good. Otherwise Google will sweep them off already. I have read most of them, and I have managed to find some clues.

1. Use third party help:
So, if you have money and find a trust able company/people, you can choose to use them. Again, Be extra careful to choose this kind of third party, as they normally request the payment in advance. The benefit:

1. Less headache.
   
2. Your don't need to to spend more time to collect information (like me).
3. Most of them now how to fill the forms, etc.
   

For me, I do not use this service. I did try to contact some people who offer service, and almost use one of them. But because they are quite busy, so I decided to try myself.

2. Do it yourself:
Yes you can do it. Try to collect information on trust able websites. Be careful when filling the forms.
But remember, you need to have address that located in a country as the first step. Yes, again you can try to visit some web that appear in Google.
The second step, you need to open a bank account at the same country as your "withdraw registration address country".
