This is the first time I am coming to this blog of yours. Being reading your My All blog. Nice articles there too. Yup, concerning the paypal exchange rate it is USD1 =RM 3.35 , not bad the rate. I have just drawn the maximum amount allowed after testing with USD 20 using Public bank Visa debit card . It takes around 5 days for the transaction. So happy that we Malaysians can now draw our paypal $$ too and enjoy the hard earned cash after typing away for those paid posts. Mind I link you to my blog?

I typed wrongly. The conversion is at paypal's rates from USD to SGD. Not much difference with bank's rates in any event. And yes, it is beneficial to have a sister with a bank account in S'pore :D I say! I typed wrongly. The conversion is at paypal’s rates from USD to SGD.

As far as I know, conversion is first done by Paypal itself if you register with a Singapore a/c. Paypal insists on converting to SGD and remits the money in SGD. But then you have the benefit of having a sister residing in Singapore. :-) For us without someone getting the money for us in Singapore, registering with a Singapore a/c is not as beneficial. For example, I do have a Singapore ATM card. If I withdraw in Malaysia, the bank will impose a SGD3.50 charge apart from the lousy bank conversion rate from SGD to MYR. Sien. Pablo - Really?

Firstly, there are no fees involved (no USD5 fee). Next, the conversion is at bank's rate from USD to SGD. Then when my sister withdraw cash, she goes to money changer to change to MYR which gives better rates compared to banks. That said, the amount which I transfer and withdraw has never been more than SGD800 in one go. So, the "losing out" on conversion is negligible. Not really.

USD - SGD - MYR as opposed to USD - MYR? Pablo _ Wouldn’t you lose more if you convert more? USD - SGD - MYR as opposed to USD - MYR?
