@PayPal_Bindu have I misunderstood the notice on the Thailand PayPal website? I read it as saying personal accounts are effectively being locked-down and/or going away in the next month or two, and that only business accounts will be allowed to receive funds or hold a balance. If I'm wrong about that, then I will be pleased that I can use a personal PayPal account in Thailand without having to link it to a registered business. I hope that is the case. Maybe I should have opened a discussion about that instead.

As the title says, one of my clients in China usually sends me money in her local currency, RMB. But a new client who just opened a Paypal account tells me that she can send only in USD. She has no option to send in RMB. My settings are set to accept any foreign with individual approval (but I never receive any notification from the first client who usually sends me money in RMB, so I don't think this setting really works). So it's not due to a restriction on my side since the first person can send in RMB, but why can't the second?

"I do not believe for a minute that if something goes wrong, you want to be responsible." Actually you're wrong about that. I've known him for years and the amounts we're talking about are so small that I don't mind. I know it's a risk and I wouldn't be willing to risk it if I weren't willing to lose it. Similar to when parents co-sign on car loans for their children or other relatives. Anyway I knew it probably wasn't possible but wanted to put the idea in the suggestion box, so to speak.

We all know about the 20-ish day hold on funds received for new PP accounts. A good friend of mine has just become a seller and is now going through this "growing pain". I was wondering if another, already established member could vouch for a newbie? I know the guy, I know he's not trying to scam his customers, so I should be able to tell PayPal to put X-amount of my balance on hold (instead of his), and then release it after the 20 days has ended. This still protects the buyer and PayPal. It merely transfers the burden (of funds being held) from one seller to another (with the consent of both). It seems like a great way the seller community could help each other out, and a way for established sellers to help new ones grow. If such a vouching system isn't in place, it should be added.
