Trusting Reviews

A months ago, I thought that withdrawing money from my PayPal account to my DirectAccess Credit card would be something so simple, as ABC. Its really not hard to believe actually when you get so many post which claims that “PayPal now can be debited to your Credit Card”. If there are like 1000 post from people with valid proof about how easy this could be done, there is just no reason why you shouldn’t believe it.

So what did I do after trusting such news? I simply accumulated my PayPal money till it reached a certain amount, so that I could save on the USD5 service charge (I do tend to get really accumulative when it comes to hard earned money). So, now I have an acceptable amount of money (not as much as Irene or Jimmy), and want to use it to cover the cost of a perfume I just recently bought. I logged on into my PayPal account, and proceeded to the withdraw button *smiling all the way*. Its just like pay day.. you get money for a months work.. Boy was I excited. After all, this is my first online-income payment!!

Reached out to the “withdraw using credit card“..the out popped the screen where you need to enter your card detail. *feeling really enthusiastic* Noticed the Visa logo, but didn’t bother because it says ‘Credit Card‘ and that is what I’m using… a credit card. Plus, I do have my Visa card too, so no worries, right?? WRONG!!!

After trying my Master Card, I got this message.. “This credit card has been denied by the bank that issued your credit card. For details on why your card was denied, please contact your credit card issuer’s customer service department. Or, you may want to try adding a different credit card. ” Hmm.. by now, I wondering what was wrong. Maybe its because I haven’t expended the use of my credit card(verifying myself as a member), so I immediately applied for the member verification, which cost me a small USD1.95 (RM6.5237). Now, with that done, I just have to wait a few days for approval *folding arms*. I just hope this works, or I do have to get my money using other means, which is not only troublesome, but also uncertain to work.

Initially, I really thought that my PayPal money will cover some of my expenses, including my newly bought perfume, but with that looking bleakly impossible at the moment, I am left over-budgeted. Now, I have to follow Malaysia Airlines to restructure myself; to archive financial stability, and to live to the next payroll which only comes end of next month. I am not also giving on PayPal, as I do believe there is some way, or some how the money can be withdrawn to the Malaysian Ringgit, so don’t complain if you see a few paid post in any of my blogs; Simple Destinations, CDASON.com, TheNewSarawak.
