Paypal Debit/Credit card accepting malaysia?

I logged in to my account last 2 days i saw the advertisement to apply the paypal debit/credit card.

I havent done yet since i wanted to know the fees and etc if it charge higher than the current rate that i have withdraw through my US bank. Probably i will just ignore it

but is it confirm paypal allowed malaysian to apply debit/credit card?

if that is true which mean they are allowing malaysian to withdraw their $$$


EDIT:

Found this information through paypal, thought i wanted to share with everyone:-

sorry guys, bad news

here is my situation (but if you are different scenario than i am you may try to apply it..just wanted to share what i have been went through)...my paypal is verified malaysia account and meet all the requirement like it have been stated:-

* Upgrade to a Premier or Business PayPal account (yup i owned a premier account)

* Have a Verified status by completing PayPal's Verification process (done all that, verified my cc and also my us bank account)

* Have registered a credit card where the monthly
statement is sent to a physical street address (not a P.O. Box) (Yup not p.o box but my real address)

* PayPal account must be open for 60 days (owned paypal account more than 90 days)

* Be an active PayPal member in good standing (yes i do, once i received email of survey or dispute, i answered as soon as possible to deal with paypal...i have transaction almost daily)


but it isnt good enough...here is the responsed that i received directly from paypal representative:-

Quote:
Dear **snip**,

Hello my name is Carrie, I will be happy to assist you with your
question regarding your PayPal account.

We are sorry to inform you that the PayPal Debit Card is available to
users who have a U.S. PayPal account.

Since your account is Malaysia account, we are sorry to inform you that
you cannot request Paypal debit card.

Sorry for the inconvenience that may cause you.

Thanks again for contacting us, and thank you for being part of the
PayPal community.

Sincerely,
Carrie
PayPal Global Services
PayPal, an eBay Company
Verdict:-

Solution still remain the same, apply a US bank account, get the dc and withdraw it through your local bank. thats what i have been doing (if you unable to fly to singapore to open a bank account there)

Hope this helps you guys


Laterz

Too bad, they only accept US residents.

Still my question is US account is referring to
-open an account at the bank physically located in US. or
-local bank account that currency in US dollar (is this possible?)

oh no no of course not, i cant even fly to singapore to open an account there and its impossible for me to fly to US...heh

i'm unsure with others, i heard most of malaysian using this method to withdraw $$$ mostly by using accentcard/anonymous card but i can not retrive back the link that i read it somewhere stated paypal will block you using those anonymous debit card available outhere...its abit risky in my opinion

thus i turned to NY bank which work out for me (especially you dont even need a passport verification just your MYKAD will do)

hope it helps you guys...i thought something to celebrate paypal allowed malaysian to withdraw $$$ through their paypal debit card.
