Subject: Change in Withdrawal of Funds from PayPal Accounts for India Users

	PayPal Home

Dear XXX XXXX, In accordance with regulatory instructions, we would like to notify you about a change in our withdrawal functionality in India starting on August 1, 2010. At present you can request for either an electronic or cheque withdrawal of funds from your PayPal account if you are an India user. From July 29, 2010 onwards, you will only be able to request for a cheque withdrawal of funds from your PayPal account. While we are working hard to restore the electronic withdrawal service, in the meantime, we are bringing this matter to your attention so that you can plan your future withdrawal activities accordingly. To request for a cheque withdrawal: Log into your PayPal account, click on ‘Withdraw’. Click on the ‘Request a cheque from PayPal’ link. Enter the withdrawal amount and select your mailing address, then click ‘Continue’. Click ‘Submit’ to confirm your request. In order to help you with this change and until further notice, we will refund the $5 USD cheque withdrawal fee to you for cheque withdrawals made on July 29, 2010 onwards. For any questions, please log into your PayPal account and click ‘Contact Us’ at the bottom of the page. We apologise for any inconvenience caused from this change in our withdrawal functionality. We will provide ongoing updates to you here. We thank you for your attention and patience as we work tirelessly to resolve this situation as quickly as possible. Thank you, The PayPal Asia Team

Indian users of online money transfer service PayPal face a long wait after the firm abruptly suspended personal payments because of regulatory issues.

According to BBC News:  Last month’s move followed questions from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) about whether PayPal complies with laws on cross-border money transfers.

Neither PayPal, which is based in the US, nor the RBI was able to say when the issue might be resolved.

The affair has left many Indian users of PayPal frustrated.

‘Fast-growing market’

PayPal says in its blog that its personal payment service for India would be suspended “for at least a few months”.

The company could not give figures for the size of its business in India, which is believed to be relatively small. However, PayPal spokesman Anuj Nayar told the BBC that India was a “fast-growing market”.

The problem is over the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, which came into effect in India in August 2008.

The RBI says that under this act, any money transfer scheme has to be authorised by the Indian authorities, which PayPal is not.

The RBI would not give details of its discussions with PayPal, but says it has sent the company some questions to respond to. Government sources in India have said they believe PayPal was aware of the implications the change of legislation would have for its business.

The stumbling block is whether PayPal personal payments – as opposed to commercial transactions – amount to cash remittances. PayPal says it only operates online and it is up to users to get money from their PayPal account to a bank account to encash it.

Some Indian PayPal users are small businesses for whom the system is a quick and effective way to transfer funds.

Angry posts on social networking sites have complained about money being lost because of transaction fees, and of not being able to transfer funds to local banks once the PayPal service was suspended.

PayPal has pledged to sort out these problems and some PayPal users seemed to blame Indian bureaucracy as much as anything else. “Always wonder why regulators in India are keen on blocking stuff,” commented one Twitter user.

Noir-themed gambling guide releases its official theme song and announces forthcoming developments.

For Immediate Release
Road Town, Tortola – [18^th March] 2010 – Today, leading Web-development firm, MediaTier Ltd., christened AceHoyle.com’s Music & Videos section with the release of an original theme song by Boston indie rockers The Honors.

The new track, titled “Ace of Face,” is a tongue-in-cheek homage to theme songs from 1980s media franchises like “Masters of the Universe” and “G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero.” A specially commissioned project, it will only be available for purchase through AceHoyle.com’s official store, Dick’s Dastardly Den.

The release coincides with the launch of AceHoyle.com’s Hoyle-ites Radio, which will allow users to select between and play the site’s musical offerings. Initially, the playlist will only include “Ace of Face.” However, additional songs will be added when AceHoyle.com’s Sonic Showdown Contest launches later this year.

Alongside the Sonic Showdown AceHoyle.com will launch a Hoyle-ites Video Diary tool that will allow users to upload music, movies and other content. The ongoing contest will invite any band registered with the site to compete for prize money and a chance to have its song appear on the official “Adventures of Ace Hoyle” soundtrack.

The Honors’ offering is already scheduled to appear on the forthcoming record, which will be for sale in Dick’s Dastardly Den. It will also figure into several other projects, including a flash-animation Web-comics upgrade, an official Facebook application and an animated series slated for 2011.

Commenting on the theme song, AceHoyle.com Executive Editor Phill Provance said, “This is the first of many steps we’re taking to make the site more than just your average gambling portal. The Honors is really such a talented group of guys, and we feel absolutely blessed to have had a chance to work with them.”

Those interested in learning more about The Honors can do so by visiting the band’s homepage or by attending one of their shows. Confirmed appearances include The Great Scott in Allston, Mass., March 12 and The Middle East Upstairs in Cambridge, Mass., April 1 and May 8.

This guide works 100% for Vista & Windows 7 unlike most of the guides out there. I have seen many sites/blogs that have “Install Vista from USB guide” but either with incomplete steps or not working guide. I have also seen some guides that don’t’ use proper commands in this guide. After spending many hours I have come up with this 100% working guide.

I just did this method on one of my friends machine and installed the new Windows 7 BETA. The main advantage is that by using USB drive you will be able to install Windows 7/Vista in just 15 minutes. You can also use this bootable USB drive on friend’s computer who doesn’t have a DVD optical drive.

The method is very simple and you can use without any hassles. Needless to say that your motherboard should support USB Boot feature to make use of the bootable USB drive.

Requirements:

*USB Flash Drive (Minimum 4GB)|
*Windows 7 or Vista installation files.

Follow the below steps to create bootable Windows 7/Vista USB drive using which you can install Windows 7/Vista easily.

1. Plug-in your USB flash drive to USB port and move all the contents from USB drive to a safe location on your system.
2. Open Command Prompt with admin rights. Use any of the below methods to open Command Prompt with admin rights.

*Type cmd in Start menu search box and hit Ctrl+ Shift+ Enter.

Or

*Go to Start menu > All programs > Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

3. You need to know about the USB drive a little bit. Type in the following commands in the command prompt:

First type DISKPART and hit enter to see the below message.

Next type LIST DISK command and note down the Disk number (ex: Disk 1) of your USB flash drive. In the below screenshot my Flash Drive Disk no is Disk 1.

4. Next type all the below commands one by one. Here I assume that your disk drive no is “Disk 1”.If you have Disk 2 as your USB flash drive then use Disk 2.Refer the above step to confirm it. So below are the commands you need to type and execute one by one:

SELECT DISK 1

CLEAN

CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

SELECT PARTITION 1

ACTIVE

FORMAT FS=NTFS

(Format process may take few seconds)

ASSIGN

EXIT

Don’t close the command prompt as we need to execute one more command at the next step. Just minimize it.

5. Next insert your Windows7/Vista DVD into the optical drive and check the drive letter of the DVD drive. In this guide I will assume that your DVD drive letter is “D” and USB drive letter is “H” (open my computer to know about it).

6. Maximize the minimized Command Prompt in the 4th step.Type  the following command now:

D: CD BOOT and hit enter.Where “D” is your DVD drive letter.

CD BOOT and hit enter to see the below message.

7. Type another command given below to update the USB drive with BOOTMGR compatible code.

BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 H:

Where “H” is your USB drive letter. Once you enter the above command you will see the below message.

8. Copy your Windows 7/Vista DVD contents to the USB flash drive.

9. Your USB drive is ready to boot and install Windows 7/Vista. Only thing you need to change the boot priority at the BIOS to USB from the HDD or CD ROM drive. I won’t explain it as it’s just the matter the changing the boot priority or enabling the USB boot option in the BIOS.

Note: If you are not able to boot after following this guide means you haven’t set the BIOS priority to USB. If you got any problem in following this guide feel free to ask questions by leaving comment.

Dear xxxxx xxxxxxxxi,

We have been diligently working with the RBI and our businesspartners to resume Indian bank withdrawals for the thousandsof Indian businesses who depend on PayPal to sell their goodsor services in the global marketplace.

Today, we are happy to announce that the RBI has allowed usto continue local bank withdrawals for settlements for exportsof goods and services. We are currently making changes tocomply with Indian regulations for settlements for exports ofgoods and services, and we anticipate that, as of Wednesday,March 3rd, customers will be able to use ourbank withdrawal service.

As part of the changes, you will be required to fill out anew field entitled ‘Export Code’ when you request a withdrawal.This information is required under the current laws of India inorder to identify the nature of cross-border merchant transactions.

On Monday, March 1st, we will be back in touch with specificinstructions on how you can move your money into your bank account.

Moving forward, the RBI has told us that PayPal needs specificapprovals to allow personal remittances to India, which wecurrently do not have. Until we get these approvals, personalpayments into India will remain suspended. However, if you arean exporter, you will continue to be able to use the PayPalservice for payments of goods and services. In fact, with thechanges we are making to our system, PayPal is now set to be amore powerful engine for exporters in India. With purpose codesfor export transactions and FIRCs (Foreign Inward Remittance Certificates), you should now be able to get the exportrelated benefits you seek.

You can check the PayPal blog for additional updates.
