When eBanking Gives You Headache
Last January 23 I withdrew $170 from my Paypal to my bank account. That was my first time to use the "withdraw to bank account option" in Paypal because I was used to having the "withdraw to card" option. I thought the "withdraw to bank account" option would be quick but it proved to cause some headaches for me. After seven days of waiting I recieved an email from Paypal. Here is the sad message :
Dear Gumersindo Liston,
An electronic funds transfer from your PayPal account to your bank account was rejected today for this reason:
Invalid Bank Account Information
Our system was not able to process the transaction with the bank information listed on your account. You should contact your bank regarding the bank account information required for electronic funds transfers. If you still need assistance, you may email us through our secure server at https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thanks for using PayPal, the world's #1 online payment service!
Sincerely,
PayPal
I immediately checked my Paypal and sure enough, the amount was back, but it was no longer $170, it became $157. I checked my Unionbank account online but I could no longer log in. It keeps saying "please enter a valid card number". It seems that my account has been locked. There is no way for me to ask for help because all the numbers listed in Unionbank's website sems to be "not yet in service". I was forced to get some time off from the office to visit my Unionbank branch. The guy there, who was kind enough to sincerely talk to me, just asked me to leave him my email address. He told me that he will email the head office about this matter and the head office will just email me. Wow that was a real cause for headache. I did not even notice that he forgot to ask for my phone number and my account number. Now I am waiting, waiting, and nursing a headache.

I feel the pain. I would feel the same if I happen to be in the same situation!
What the f*** happening with Unionbank? Recession?
Yup it would be a better idea to keep the money muna.
Metrobank, try mo. There's also this pldtonline.com na mas mabilis daw kaysa sa EON - you need to have a smart money card nga lang.
I also asked about means of connecting Paypal with smart money from the Smart money teller here in our place but she appeared to be ignorant about online banking and about Paypal.
It was after a few days I registered my UNIONBANK Eon card and trying to login
luckily, after three days ata nakapaglog-in ulit ako
try mo daw login ulit
but I think hirap ang system ng UNIONBANK last week because of heavy traffic kasi nagrelease sila ng dividend ng GSIS and many people had problems
anyway, sana maka withdraw ka na
sabagay, wag muna, marami ka pa namang pera... malay mo bababa pa ang value ng PEso, Lol
but that must have been a very frustrating situation
naisip ko din yang business na naisip ni Calvin...
kaya lang laki dapat capital niyan. pde ba venture n lang.... haha
Bro so far hindi naman nangyayari sakin yung ganyang pro eon card din gamit ko sa pag transfer ng funds from paypal to unionbank.
Check mo to bro.

Bigyan kita update kung nag succesful yung sakin.
I also experienced this just last week

Anyway, what did you do afterwards? I want to find out. Unionbank service is crap. Yun lang the customer service line is pretty okay now. Haay, naku. Kainis lang.
