having a withdraw problem

[tesy9194]

Greeting Everyone,

Today i've received first payment and tried to take money out of  paypal, but it says i have to add US bank account. And the problem is I'm not from US and not living in US. 

I'm russian, but living in serbia and have registered paypal account in serbia, but only have russian bank account and accordingly mastercard from russian bank. The question is which steps should i take in order to solve the problem?

Thanks.

Withdraw funds from your PayPal account:

• To your credit, debit, or prepaid card.
• To your US bank account.

Hi, I m from Serbia and having the same problem Did you solve it?

When you registered with PayPal, did you choose the right country from PayPal list or you just only registered without any country chosen? If so, it automatically registered you as a US citizen, so withdrawing money won't work unless you have US bank account. I'm a victim too, I had to remove my old account and register under a correct country. However, my funds are still stuck in the old one.

I don't remember if i chose any country, but hopefully i've put Serbia. How can i see it?

thanks for response

If its the one you are using on here then............

User tesy9194: Serbia Personal Account

If its not then go log on to your paypal account and click settings (icon next to log out) on the left of that page should show your country.

You can't withdraw to a local bank account in your country.

You can only withdraw to a linked card....I think that has to be a VISA.

The only exception is U.S expats can add their bank accounts to other countries paypal accounts (paypal is a U.S company so they allow their citizens to do this).

Click on the link below and select the country you want from the drop down list for options available in that country.
