PayPal in eBay: Transaction cannot be completed.

Recently, I found difficulty to make a payment in eBay via my Paypal account. Sometimes it works; sometimes it does not work.

As a buyer, a quick payment is one of ways to maintain reputation in eBay. However, the technical failure of payment system may make a quick payment impossible.

Malaysia Debit Card: Two Important Things You should Take Care While Use It

Besides different charge rate and refund period that we need to take care when we use our debit card in petrol station, there are another two important things we should know to avoid unnecessary loss when using our debit card. In this post, I am going to discuss them one-by-one based on my experience.


1. The receipt of Transaction


Situation:
What a surprise! Based on my observation, most people use to throwing away their receipt after any purchasing. This is a very dangerous behavior. On one hand, you cannot prove your transaction according if you want to claim something upon it, such as refund. On the other hand, it may cause delay of your inquiry because people take time to trace back your transaction, especially, you forget the date, the time, or the place of the particular transaction.

Debit Card: Shell Vs Petronas - Different First Charge Rate and Refund Period (Malaysia)

I am used to using my debit card for buying petrol or gas to avoid running out of cash and to earn some bonus points. It was quite normal for me when the Shell charged RM200.00 initially when I used my debit card to purchase petrol. Then, the money (RM200.00) will be returned to my account and the price of the petrol will be paid from my account within three working days. In other words, we need to put RM200.00 "deposit" when buying petrol from Shell via debit card. I was thinking that every petrol station will do the something as what Shell do until I used my debit card in Petronas recently.
