We have received payment from an Indonesian person for paypal, so I think there are some people who use it. It's going to take some time for widespread adoption by banks and for people to get used to it, I am sure ecommerce in Indonesia will eventually take off, like everywhere else in the world.if at all, local businesses were, or are, using the explosion of Social Media within Indonesia to benefit their businesses?
Many of the WSO's on the net also rely on using PayPal, something which doesn't work with Indonesian banks and something that has also been discussed extensively on this forum.
It's funny reading complaints by retailers in Australia that buy goods on the internet from overseas websites. I would say in Australia it also took a lot of time for people to realize the benefits of shopping online. When I was in Japan a few years ago, no one knew of Paypal either and people would only do bank transfers when buying and selling on the internet.
A couple of years ago, you couldn't use foreign credit cards to buy airline tickets here, but last year I traveled on Lion and didn't have any trouble.
Companies around the world are trying to work out social media and how they can use it in their business. Social media is a good way to build brand awareness and make connections with your customers, but for most people direct conversion rates are low.
Don't forget email lists, they are still a good way to build customers.
I also just came across https://www.kaspay.com which looks like an interesting alternative to Paypal for Indonesia.
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat drinking beer all day.
Thanks spicyayam,
Always a pleasure to read your input. Will look into that Kaspay option.

Had to laugh the other day. Just got around to getting my Bike license after now being so pissed off with driving, or not as the case may be, that I'm gonna take my chances with the bike. Plastered on the wall of the Police station is their Twitter address with a big 'Follow Us on Twitter' slogan.
Been on that platform a while, must be doing something right. #1 in Bali according to Twitter Grader...
Cheers,

Well,i don't know.I read their website and i do not get the feeling it is something that is going to work.I also just came across https://www.kaspay.com which looks like an interesting alternative to Paypal for Indonesia.
*The topping up of the account seems to be done manually,office hours:if you try to top up on friday afternoon,money might not available before monday.
*very complicated system of topping up.
*maximum topping -up 5 million.
*so far mainly used for buying pulsa,wich you can do much easier at the ATM of your
bank
*And most important:on the whole website there is not a single word about garantee's or what will happen if your saldo is misused.
IMHO it is not fit for this century.
