Earlier today, in response to my withdrawal request yesterday, Niks transferred yet another 5 USD to my piggy bank, PayPal account.  The notification was via email which I read a while ago and it was done in his usual warmly personal way, like he always did.  Many thanks again, and kudos, to our hands-on administrator!

 

And so I'm 5 dollar richer yet again and so is my PayPal administrator by 50 cents, as if I were the referral on Expertscolumn by PayPal.  At any rate--literally and figuratively--I wonder whether having our money safely deposited there, without touching it, ever earns interest to neutralize the cut they get from our deposits.

And this reminded me, why are our Indian fellow writers invariably faced with this Hobson's choice of inescapably choosing Moneybookers, which seems so much disliked by most, rather than PayPal? I'm just asking this because I find it ironic that Expertscolumn being uniquely based in India, or being a jewel website from India, should deprive its citizens of its choice of PayPal as their online piggy bank.

It seems there's a valid reason behind this "restriction" on the part of EC and if there is, there must be a solution to get around this difficulty.  To this end, I rest my case, and I am sure, though, that those friends of ours in India won't rest until PayPal become the common denominator for most earning writers on Expertscolumn, regardless of geographical locations

But for the moment, let's count our blessings and let's be thankful for small mercies from Expertscolumn as more improvements, I am sure, are in the pipeline and some already underway.

This column I write in celebration of subsequent payment I have received from Expertscolumn which I intend to save at my PayPal account, without withdrawing it, till I become a millionaire.:-)
