Question About PayPal Withdrawal Requirements

Yashoda · 8 小时前 · 16 次浏览

Hi QAProvider Team,

I have a few questions about withdrawing payments through PayPal.

1. Can I receive QAProvider payments using a regular PayPal Personal account, or is a PayPal Business account required?

2. Does my PayPal account need to be linked to a bank account, credit card, or debit card to receive withdrawals?

3. Can I withdraw my QAProvider earnings using only the Gmail address registered in my QAProvider payment withdrawal settings?

4. Could you please check the Gmail address I have already provided in my QAProvider payment settings and confirm whether payments can successfully be withdrawn to that PayPal account?

5. Are there any additional verification or account requirements for receiving payments in India?

I would really appreciate it if you could check my registered payment details and clarify whether everything is properly set up for withdrawals.

Thank you for your help!

Hi Yashoda,

Thank you for your questions! Here is what we know. In short: for India, please set up a PayPal Business account (not Personal) and finish verification with your PAN card.

Personal or Business? We have seen payments to Personal accounts in India fail with "Sorry, this recipient can't accept payments right now". PayPal India describes Personal accounts as mainly for paying and buying, and Business accounts as the ones for receiving payments from abroad. So please use a Business account. You can pick "Business Individual" if you are not a registered company, and you can upgrade your existing account.
Bank account or card? Yes. For India you need to add an Indian bank account (the name on it must match the name on your PAN) and complete PayPal's verification, including a purpose code, before you can withdraw to your bank.
Is the Gmail address enough? The email only tells us where to send the payment. It must be the email of the PayPal account that is upgraded and verified as above. A PayPal account that exists but is not verified cannot receive our payment.
Can we check your address? We can see that an address is saved in your settings, but we can't see from our side whether that PayPal account is verified for India. PayPal shows that when it processes the payment. Please check in your PayPal account that it is a verified Business account and that you can receive payments from abroad.
Requirements for India: PAN verification, an Indian bank account in your name, a purpose code and a business type; PayPal may ask for more documents. PayPal also charges its own fee for receiving international payments.

Our older discussions on this topic, with the experience of other testers from India:

Please note that these threads are old (2020), so PayPal may have changed some details since then. We checked PayPal India's current help pages and the main points still hold: a Business account for receiving payments, PAN verification and a bank account with the same name. For the exact steps, please follow PayPal's own pages: Which account type should I choose, Personal or Business? and How to activate your Business Account.

Once your account is ready, request a withdrawal in your balance page and we will send the payment. If PayPal rejects it, we will let you know and you can use another method.
