I'm trying to pay my Chinese supplier. He's not on PayPal, but a lot of Chinese suppliers do use PayPal, so they must be getting it setup somehow. Can anyone explain how they're doing it?
I currently have a US PayPal account that's linked to my bank there. I live in China. I can't link my Bank of China account because a routing number is required, which my bank doesn't use (only SWIFT code).
Paypal is country specific so if you move country you have to open another paypal account in that country and add an address / phone number / and bank accounts from within that country.
The only exception is U.S users can add their bank accounts to other countries paypal accounts.
But to do so you have to contact customer services and they will add it for you manually.
Advice is voluntary. Kudos / Solution appreciated.
Thanks. I setup a Chinese account and linked my Chinese bank account. Problem is when I try to send money from my US account to Chinese account, PayPal says "We can’t send your payment right now. If you keep running into this issue, please contact PayPal."
OK guess that was a bit of a waste of my time hanging on for your reply.
Logging off now to go visiting relatives.
Oh and your welcome.
Replied twice yesterday. Not sure why those posts didn't show up. Anyway, I'm trying to send money from my savings account in the US to my account in China in RMB.
