The real reason why we are not a paypal accredited country is that We are a High Risk Fraud Country. I am not proud of that tag but let’s not kid ourselves, It’s true.

We have that status because of the CC fraud that some of our countrymen did before and still doing it now. I remember that we were banned from almost big e-commerce websites. even payment processors refused to do businesses with anyone who have a philippine ip address.

But there is no harm of forcing ebay (the parent company of paypal) to have us accredited. sana lang wag maabuso kasi abusado tayo.

Personally I am not that optimistic about it. But there's no harm in lobbying for it.

power people-ing the government to ask a private company like paypal is not a bad idea.. however, why not ask a private company like a commercial bank to actually tie up with paypal to be their local “branch office” here in the phil which will facilitate the payment and remitances of dollaz.. anyway as what laibeous said, i think paypal’s reasons are feasible..

If paypal is what it takes to get Pinoys to do less talking and more action, great! Banking in this country is in the stone age. Why that is? Because the banks have formed an unspoken agreement to keep it this way. What this allows is exorbiant processing fees for credit card use by the monopoly that controls credit card processing hurting small business and the consumer. It allows the banks to not have to spend a ton of money modernizing their system saving them money at the cost of their customers. It allows politicians to use the banks to do all sorts of illegal things wthout being caught. It allows companies to use the banking system to commit all kinds of crimes with tax evasion being the most benign. So, if paypal is what it takes, that is fine but there is more at stake than paypal.
