I am hoping someone will see this and be able to help me.
I am studying in Israel for the year and I need to transfer shekels to dollars so I can pay some US bills.
I have the shekels in my Israel bank account and need to get the dollar equivalent (about 5k) to my US account.

Do you think I can use paypal to do this?
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Appreciate any and all help here..

Now-a-days, there are many merchant account providers who offer international merchant accounts with absolutely no sales limits and offer secure payment gateways along with virtual terminal & risk management techniques.

Yes, I agree this is a great post.

A couple of people have come to me with similar queries. I have recommended this post to them, I’m sure they will find it useful.

Thank you.

Henry – I just placed an order yesterday with a NY company using my Israeli PayPal account (I have a separate US PayPal account) and my Israeli shipping address. The order processed just fine.

It most likely isn’t PayPal that is preventing your order from shipping to Israel, it’s the company you are ordering from. This is why I maintain a US shipping address from which packages are consolidated and shipped to me in Israel (check out USAMail1.com)

BTW, this blog post was full of great information – thank you!

they have this ridiculous rule that they wont allow shipping to Israel. So makes a lot of ILS functionality rubbish. They do payments not shipping, yet stop me shipping to Israel. What is going on?

PayPal accepting shekels was very welcome news.
I had been using Tranzilla for my online credit card processing which is not cost effective if there are few or no sales. The credit card commissions also make it counter-productive to process only a few transactions.
I do all my shekel credit card payments through paypal now by sending a money request.

I’m in the process of creating a new bi-lingual website that will have PayPal integrated and hopefully by the time my site is ready, PayPal will have the Hebrew interface!

I have shekels in my PayPal account and was unsure about what to do with it! I guess I may as well transfer it to my dollar account for use in online purchases.

Thanks for this post clarifying the issues.

Before moving to Israel, I used my Paypal in NY. The security and special codes gave me a good sense of protection. I opened up a PayPal account in Israel not realizing that they did not have the ability to transfer money into my shekel account, making this useless because I keep a NY bank account and Visa tied to PayPal as if I am still there. I will await for the change. I don’t have a credit card in Israel because I am attending school and don’t have a full time. I do freelancing at home. I am grateful for this website. I hope I can make use of this account. Until then, I will just add to my NY one.

Sincerely,
Joyce Kuras
