Does Mahalo offer an alternative to PayPal when paying out earnings?

Hi there!

Here's my dilemma: I decided that I would like to receive my earnings from Mahalo. Before requesting the payout, I went along to PayPal and discovered that, being from South Africa, PayPal does not allow me to receive payments, only send money.

How am I going to get paid? Does Mahalo offer an alternative to PayPal? I know some other sites offer payment through MoneyBookers too. What should I do?

I am from Sri Lanka and I faced the same problem. Paypal only allows me to send money not transfer to my bank account.

So I contacted @jeffhoard and he said to send an email to contact@mahalo.com or lon@mahalo.com . So I followed what is said and now I made arrangements to receive my current payment through cheque (not sure whether they will send you monthly or all the time you request).

NOTE : I am mentioning @lon here because I was informed that he is the one who is responsible for the transactions in Mahalo. However you can try sending an email to contact@mahalo.com and they will reply you with the needed information.

• Thanks! I'm so glad someone else is in the same boat as me! I'll definitely see if I can find out more about the cheque method.

I would like an alternative, as I live outside the country.

I don't know if Mahalo has alternatives, which I think they don't but if what Ghanan said then perhaps they could make an exception. I really like Paypal, because it's so professional and trustworthy (most of the time). But I hate that they take some of the money perhaps they could try some other way, so no money is lost. Like 'Liberty Reserve'.

Iam not sure they are offering any other payment option apart from paypal you can contact the support team from mahalo to find out more go to www.mahalo.com/contact

I think you can request them for sending a check to you but may take longer time to encash the same.

All the best n Good Luck.
