Has anyone used Paypal to transfer money to a friend/family member in China? The Paypal website indicates that it can be done, but is very skectchy on how the person in China is able to withdraw these funds. My wife has a BOC account. We would like to either transfer funds directly to her account or send the money to one of her family members and let them deposit it. The reason i am interested in Paypal is that it appears to have very low transfer fees. Would there be fees on the BOC end when the funds were converted to RMB? Thanks, -Squonk

As many of you know Hui and I are now running a business importing speakers from China and selling them at the local flea markets. Things are going really well our sales are very good and the Dragonlad.... Errr I mean the wife is doing the books and talking to the factory's while I sell them. We just got a delivery of 320 in 10 days ago and we are already looking in to making another order in the next week or so. My question is dose anyone know a way I can pay the factory for the speakers that wont cost me $40.00 or more each time? Up till now we have had a friend of Hui's who lives in Shenzhen make the payments for us by going down to the factory's retail location and dropping off the payment. I don't want to impose on the friend anymore since this looks like we may be making monthly orders. If I have my bank do a wire transfer to the factory's bank it will cost me more then $40.00 each time so I want to avoid that if I can. one of the factory said I could use a online or internet bank transfer, what is that? One bank said something about a western union transaction to make the payment but I;m not sure what she was getting at. Can I setup a bank acct in China and then do online transfers into it and make the payments from that acct? If you have any ideas please send em my way. Robert

Got this in my email today, I have been a long time user of paypal. I checked the fee to send to China, FREE if from a checking or pay-pal account. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=x...ransfer-outside Check it out. Looks better than Western Union.

I have a new Paypal account now and I was going to send my SO some emergency funds now. Her Motorcyle had to have some unexpected repairs and her computer went on the blink. When it rains in Nanning it pours I opened a Visa check card account for her but this will take time for her to get it in Nanning. I have never sent money thru Pay Pal before and I hear it is a lot cheaper the WU. Any suggestions on what to do.

I'd like to send money to my fiancee in China. I've used Western Union in the past but I don't like paying the fees. Has anyone transferred cash from their Paypal account in the US to a someones Paypal account in China? My fiancee is trying to create a new Paypal China account now, but she says it requires a credit card and she does not have one. I know a credit card is not required to open a Paypal account in the US, but maybe it's different over there. Steve

I can get free AmEx travelers checks. So I got one to send to my Mother-in-Law to pay for a trip to Thailand for them. We will but her name and ID number at the top so only she can cash it. Anyone else tried it?

Just back from a site-seeing trip with my fiance to Beijing. We had a wonderful time . . . The new customs forms (July 1) ask if you are carrying any articles valued over RMB2000 that will be left behind, alcohol/tobacco over 1500 ml/400 cigs/500g, $5000 cash, animals, plants, ... radio transmitters, receivers, or communication security equipment, prohibited articles, unaccompanied baggage, or goods of commercial value such as samples/ advertisements. I am not sure what it would mean to not declare your unaccompanied baggage. PayPal ATM - it is free - no monthly or maintenance fees, no non-use fees. A RMB 600 transfer was charged at $73.44 after Bank of China fee. The additional PayPal fee for this transfer was only $1.00. And she found an ATM in Yulin Guangxi! No more Western Union for us! I bought a SIM card from China Mobile in the airport international arrivals area for my unlocked GSM "world" phone from the U.S. She was able to use it for a weeks worth of received and sent calls. Now, if GUZ would only hurry up with that P4!

One of my co-workers just gave me a great idea for sending money to China. If you both have a pay pal account you can sent money to your SO. I've used it to pay for e-bay items in Hong Kong, Korea and Japan. No fee either.
