So it’s better now to have your adsense earnings sent through paypal than western union? I’m getting my first $100 soon (yay!) so i’d like to know.

I haven’t tried withdrawing from my paypal account yet but I plan to do so soon (hopefully by end of May), does paypal charge fees for local bank deposits of your funds?

Thanks in advance.

OO nga bagong patong na naman.. Pero maliit lang naman 0.15% lang pero bawas pa rin he he h..

@ Fitz

EntrepreNars is right. Withdrawal thru Paypal sa adsense ay wala pa. I believe James of pinoymoney talk had an experience with that.. Siguro may fee..

maliit ang 0.15% pero pag pinagsama-sama ang lahat ng international transfers..siguradong aabot ng more than 1.2Billion dollars a month..($1.2Billion monthly remittance from OFWs alone)

So, malaki laking collection yan.. hehe sana naman gamitin nila sa dapat pag gamitan yan..
