I have the same problem with PayPal... I'm working online and can't withdraw money from PayPal to my Visa card .. I don't know what to do... Please if someone can help ... Thanks

The amount you receive less represent the bank charges. Normally, when someone from a foreign country is sending you, the money doesnt come directly from his ban to yours. It has to go via a corresponding bank which is based elsewhere. So you are paying all bank charges ie: he must have put all bank charges to you r account, thus you are bearing all charges such as his bank charges, the corresponding bank charges and yours bank charges.
You must ask your client to pay you the net amount, and he has to bear all the charges, then you will receive the exact amount as per your claim.

Hope this help you understand!

If your brother lives in a country where he can withdraw money from Paypal, then you can do that. If he's also in Mauritius, then he'll have the same problem.

You can ask your client to create a Paypal account in Malaysia and get a Paypal debit card sent over to you but I wouldn't advise that.

First, it's illegal because you'll be using a bank card which is not in your name. If your relationship with the client starts to suffer, you're putting your whole business at risk. The client can even sue you for fraud.

Second you run the risk of being charged for money laundering and tax evasion.

Third, Paypal monitors transactions for security purposes and seeing an account registered in Malaysia but being withdrawn from Mauritius regularly might get your client and your account banned.

I don't know the ins and outs of your business but if you charge in USD instead of Malaysia currency, you won't have to worry about losing money during conversion, right? If that's not possible, you need to work out how much you're losing out eg if you're losing Rs3,000 on Rs30,000 then it's better than Rs3,000 on Rs6,000. Maybe you could batch your transactions.
