You can view your statement online by signing in to your WorldWinner Account and clicking on “My Account” and then “View Account Statement.” Please be aware that PayPal automatically withdraws the funds from your PayPal account prior to WorldWinner accepting the payment. Your declined payment will be returned to your PayPal account within four business days. We apologize for this inconvenience. date: 15:13:42 Sep 03, 2008 PDT amount: $10.00 transaction id: 5D403941JD656433N Below are some possible reasons why your deposit could not be accepted: * WorldWinner only permits one WorldWinner account per PayPal address.

Please note that WorldWinner only permits one account per individual. * WorldWinner requires your street address. Please be sure to include your address when making your payment.
