yuehan123 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Re: Unable to send money right now. They said it on the Chengdu forum, but, I'm not tech enough to realize what it meant: "Do not use a VPN for Paypal China Worldwide." Huhhh? From wikipedia- "...A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across public networks like the Internet. " Yep, I was using a sort of VPN. Logged out, logged in to Firefox with standard Trusteer Rapport protection and the send money from US to China went right through. One problem solved.

Fu Lai Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 ... Helpful documents include a utility bil... Yeah, right. As if my wife has any of those....from China, I mean. Oh, by the way, the name must exactly match the name you used to open the Paypal Account.

We get a bill for all utilities here in China and the mobile phone company will give you a paper copy if you go to their office.Were it so simple & easy I would done it already. We (my wife & I) are in the US. We no longer own a Chinese based cellphone. The Electric Utility at the house we own is in my wife's father's name. The house ownership paper is in her 'maiden' name. The Bank Accounts, and therefore, Paypal are in her US Passport name. Don't overlook the Paypal Account requirement that all names for linked, verified, sending, withdrawing and proof of residence accounts or bills must match, exactly, the name used to create the Paypal account. Even if I did successfuly verify the Credit card charges and jump through whatever other hoops Paypal requests, I still could neither take money from the CCB account into Paypal nor send money from Paypal to the CCB account electronically. It is not allowed. The Paypal China Worldwide account allows only two types of transactions: 1. Wire transfer for $35. That is neither a bargain nor a benefit. 2. Free On line electronic transfer to a Hong Kong Bank Account. There in lies a partial answer. Go to Hong Kong and open an account that is also useful in Mainland China. Then, you will have electronic transfer from Paypal. But, it's not for me. Later, 'somebody' can say how easy and great it all is and then, tell the rest of us how to do it.
