Web version of email

When we first received this email from Paypal, we thought it was some kind of hoax. We checked two or three times to find if it was legitimate. We could confirm from the email, that it was sent legitimately and yes, it came from paypal themselves.

However, Paypal has not updated their blog as yet with this information. Generally, these kind of intimations do appear as blog posts on their site.

Till now, Indian paypal users were severely affected by the USD 500 dollar limit that Paypal had put for Indian users. Freelancers and small businesses who offered services to foreign clients had to always keep that limit in mind.

Though we are quite sure that this mail is completely legitimate, we are still trying to get full confirmation from various sources. We will update this post if we find any change!
