Hi there, I have been chopping for some time and have already cashed out a few times. I am having major problems in obtaining fiat from all the fiat solutions provided (PayPal, Mastercard, Visa) because I am living in Asia, where all the fiat solutions are clearly not designed to serve.
I first tried out PayPal–the order got refunded because “As the recipient’s country can’t receive payments, this transaction is not allowed” stated by Salad.
Then, I tried Mastercard. I was given a Mastercard virtual prepaid debit that works absolutely nowhere but Amazon US. I can only buy e-books there, which is not so useful. I now have 40$ sitting in my Amazon account.
Suspecting that the card being “virtual” was the fault point, I tried requesting a physical Visa on another payout order. The Visa redemption website cannot verify my identity, will email me, now having to wait 5 days. From the tone the website used, I am not optimistic of receiving it at all in the end. I am also disappointed that this 100$ card and 20 days of electricity cost will go to waste just because I am in ‘unsupported areas’.
So, I’d like to request some global’payout methods such as crypto. That would be great help for choppers based in Asia or less supported areas. Thank you!
Or, if any fellow choppers have a workaround for this, please let me know, thanks.
Try the virtual visa cards should work.
I Use steam to cash out to my card, but the commission is huge
Have you successfully verified your Visa card? That website looks fake enough
I’m not from your region and this is going to take some research on your end but I’ve used a vpn for something similar. Could that be your answer? VPN to US find a website to switch over to your fiat and cashout? If you’ve already considered that I apologize.
The cards work nowhere except Amazon, which is the weird part. I’ve tried to add funds to buy crypto through that virtual mastercard on multiple websites including US-based ones, no luck. I’ve tried adding it to cashapps too, wasn’t accepted. Thanks for your input though
VPN and PayPal don’t mix, a lesson I learned the hard way several years ago. It worked for a while until they flagged my old account and suspended it. Ever since then I stopped using VPN for paypal transactions and have had no issues.
I’m confused. Is this due to you being in Asia or you believe it to be a salad error?
The virtual mastercards don’t really work anywhere, even for local Americans. Basically every who uses the redeem website (myprepaidcenter.com) faces the issue, so it is not Salad’s fault. Still, it does not work like expectations, so it kinda sucks.
