This time, PayPal and EON kept their promise. After reading on the Net instances of delayed withdrawal of PayPal funds to Unionbank's EON debit card, I am happy to report that I just successfully transferred my PayPal earnings to my EON Cyberaccount. Indeed, like PayPal and EON advertised, it only took 3-4 days for the money to get through.

One of the great events in 2007 is the full activation of PayPal in other countries including the Philippines. And one of the consequent perks of this event is that you can join advertising networks which are additional sources of online income. One such network I just discovered is Backlinks.

At last! After calling Unionbank's Customer Service (84-186) for the nth (around seventh) time, I finally got my PayPal Expanded Use Number (EUN). This was after more than a month of waiting. The Customer Service rep said that there was a delay from Visa's end in sending the EUN. (Around my third time of following up with Unionbank, the rep I talked to said that there was a computer glitch starting around the time I enrolled my Unionbank EON Cyber Account debit card to my PayPal account -- November 15).

Off the top of my head, here are the benefits for Filipinos if Filipinos can now receive money via PayPal (right now sending is the only enabled feature):
