Paypal to Terminate Personal Payments Service in Malaysia
If you are using PayPal, I believe you should receive an e-mail from Paypal saying that they will terminate personalpayment service in Malaysia starting 4th June 2013.
This is not a good new for those who are using PayPal to transfer personal funds to your friends and relatives inside or outside Malaysia, but I wonder how many people did this. However, the good new is, you still can receive personal payment from outside Malaysia.
PayPal stated that they decided to terminate personal payments in Malaysia as part of theirbusiness strategy to focus on commercial transactions, but I believe the reason is to stop people from selling PayPal funds.
For more information kindly read FAQs from PayPal regarding this matter below.
