Had paypal account long back(I used to do online paid surveys that used to generate$0.1 only). Had account balanced$1.5 in paypal account. For transferring to indian banks, they will charge huge ammount of money. Also they want international id(passport scan) for ammount transfer. Paypal account is easy to open and upload currency. Trick is how to get back that currency in our bank account. So, if you are planning to purchase using paypal but don’t want to transfer back to your account, this is the best place.
