LifeLong Sharing

My colleague tendered his resignation letter on last month. Based on the company policy, we need to give three months notice to the company. So, in my colleague’s case, he only can leave the company at end of February 2008.

He actually got the sponsorship from government to study at Australia. Surprisingly, the sponsorship even allows him to bring his own family to there! All the expenses will be covered! But, the sponsorship contract said that he must start to register on end of January.

In our company policy, if you choose to leave before three months, you need to pay for the compensation to the company. Besides, the last month salary would be on hold until the balance is cleared!

This is bad news to my colleague. For your information, he has family and he is the main stream income for his family. Blocking the pay seems to be the nightmare for him. He was thought about getting cash advance from the legal company. As he said, the new college will going to start to pay him on February. He needs payday loans to get rid of the temporary financial problem. It is a fast, easy, and even can apply it online! Everything is so convenience.

Luckily, I have enough annual leaves to let me release earlier from the company. I do not encountering the same problem. Anyway, I wish him good luck!

After few months of struggling, I finally succeed to withdraw my money from PayPal. I know this is not a new thing to people who regularly withdraw their money from Paypal, but I know there also have a lot of newbie wanted to know about it. So, I am writing my whole pathetic processes to share with you guys~!

1) Apply Public Bank Visa Electron Debit Card

Normally the tellers said the processing period for the application is two weeks. Actually, they want to let you feel better. I took more than one month to get my card.

Besides, Public Bank is idiot in Information Technology. Even you have a Saving Account which already signed up the E-banking, but your Debit Card WILL NOT automatically link to the E-Banking! You need to go to the branch apply the E-statement or something like that! Perhaps you need to tell the customer service that you need this service while applying the card.

2) Wait and keep calling to the customer service. I was sick with the lame service provided by Public Bank!

3) Get the card, register/ add your PB card at PayPal.
Edit profile -> Credit/ Debit Cards -> add a card
For process become more easier, make the PB card as primary card (if this is not your first card registered in PayPal).

4) Enroll in PayPal’s Expanded use program
I think this is necessary. It is to verify your account and would charge $1.95 in your card. It is advisable you bank in RM50 to you Debit Card before doing so. This could avoid a lot of annoyance. You need to wait for another letter from PB.

5) The letter would look like this. Enter the four digits code to the column. Then you are verified!

6) Start to withdraw your money. The daily withdrawal limit is USD500~ I am still waiting the money credited into my PB account~~

OK, this is my miserable way in withdrawing money from PayPal by using PB Electron Debit Card. Do I missed something at here? Did I make any wrong steps?
