For your information, online purchases are not eligible under the eTRS scheme, regardless of whether the buyer is in Singapore or not.

You can call PayPal customer support at 6510 4650 if you have any questions regarding the transaction.
As part of PayPal security measures, PayPal reviews certain payments more closely to ensure the platform is being used properly and to minimise the potential risk.
To comply with regulatory requirements, PayPal may ask you to confirm your identity when you’re reaching a total transaction value of S$7,500 (including lifetime transactions from other ecommerce platforms)

A.

Below are the common issues faced by our customers:
1) Ensure that the checkbox “I confirm that I am of legal age and agree to the PayPal” is checked.
2) Ensure that the first name & last name are filled in correctly. "First name" refers to a given name, while "last name" refers to family names or surnames.
3) If you are using a personal credit card, ensure that the billing address filled in the payment gateway (PayPal) is the same as the credit card's billing statement and not the billing address of your company.
4) If you are using a VPN that changes their original IP address to an IP address of a foreign country. The payment gateway (PayPal) may change the billing location to the latter location. All you need to do is change the mini flag to the Singapore flag, and that will fix the issue. Please refer to the screenshot below.
