Well, I did check the exchange rate for that time is 1 USD = 4.12141 MYR based on XE currency converter website as below.
However, Paypal conversion rate is only 1 USD = 4.02903 MYR as I just get RM657.90 for the $163.29 US dollar that I have in my Paypal account. It means that I had lost about RM15 if based on the exchanged rate on XE as it should be RM672.98. Anyways, I still need to wait 2 to 3 days to get the PayPal money transfer to my local Maybank account as below.

On the other hand, I just feel that Paypal transaction fee is quite expensive for me if you saw my earning post yesterday. I remember last time you can play a "tricks" as you just ask your merchant put the payment as a "gift/donation" and Paypal won't charge any transaction fee for it. Here is the update for the Paypal balance that I requested as I receive an email from them upon request as below.
*Updates* It seems that the transfer only require about 1 day as I requested yesterday instead of 2~3 business days as I receive the money tomorrow as below.
Apparently Malaysian currency is dropping and I do felt a little regret for selling $88 USD in my Paypal previously. Anyways, if you're selling item locally with you e-commerce website, you can consider local payment gateway solutions in Malaysia to do your online transaction because it is much cheaper. I hope this guide can help you cash out your Paypal balance to your local bank in Malaysia from my sharing.

Selling $88 USD From Paypal Premier Account Exchange To RM316.80 MYR Maybank In Malaysia Experience

During the night, a leng lui (beautiful girl) personal messaged me asked whether want to sell my remaining Paypal's USD currency that I had posted few day ago as below.
Well, the only thing that I concern about transferring Paypal (PP) balance in USD is the 3++% transaction fee / administration fee charged for every transaction you do. The girl told me that there is no charges for her transaction last time but I know there is charges recently when I received some earning through PP for writing international product review recently. Anyways, I just sold $88 USD for RM3.60 per USD instead of the RM3.69 exchange rate from XE currency converter website as below.
Upon received RM316.80 (RM3.60 x $88) in my Maybank account, I just transfer the money to the girl's PP account as below.
She told me that she had been charged $3.73 transaction fee and the final amount she received is just $84.32 in her PP balance although both of us is Paypal Premier account holder. For now, I just left about $17.57 USD left in my account to be sold.
Somehow I just feel that it is quite "ridiculous" that Paypal charged so high transaction fee as below.
I had been searching on "How to Avoid PayPal Fees" but the information I got is just back in few year ago where you're able to select "Gift" option to avoid any fee being charged as below.
Anyways, the new policy stated that any International transfers will incur a transaction fee no matter you use what method. If you have found any ways to avoid Paypal transaction fee, kindly tell me in the comment below.
Thanks.
