PayPal says no to e-mail attachments
I sent a query via their online contact form asking them whether it is possible to send the documents they are asking for via e-mail. Below is the reply that I received from them. Basically the answer is “no, you have to use a bloody fax machine regardless whether you live in a country with Third World facilities, lousy libraries or otherwise”.
Dear Mohd Elfie Nieshaem Juferi,
Thank you for contacting PayPal with your concern.
I am sorry, we are unable to open file attachments due to security precautions. Please fax your documentation to PayPal. If you do not have access to a fax machine, most copy centers and some libraries will have fax machines that you can utilize for a nominal fee.
In addition, if you have a scanner attached to your computer, you may be able to convert your computer and scanner into a digital fax machine through various shareware and freeware available over the internet. One reference website is www.download.com. Type in “fax” into the search box to locate a number of free fax programs that may be available for your computer.
As an alternative to faxing you can mail the requested information to:PayPal

USAPlease let me know if you need further assistance.
Okay, okay…I get the hint. Faxing the documents it is.

Yeah, faxing documents to them is a lil bit annoying and it took me a while to actually faxed them but after that, it was all smooth and quick.
). I did it at a stationary store near my home for like 3.80 per minute. Didn’t remember the exact charge but they charge per minute instead of per page.
Oh, I didn’t do mine at TM Point (12.90 per page? Are you kidding me?
