Why is it difficult to receive payment in Nigeria from PayPal. Now that we can send payment from Nigeria? What can we do from Nigeria to receive payment from PayPal? Compliment of the season Usman HG

You can't, that option is not available in your country.

Sorry no idea, I don't work for paypal, this is a user to user community forum.

 

If you want to discuss why the option is not available in your country then you need to ask customer services.

How can they get money INTO their paypal balance to send to someone else if they are not allowed to receive funds???

 

They are only allowed to send and not receive in Nigeria.

you are right,they cant.

they can get around it by asking sender to send to someone they trust with a Paypal account and that person will transfer the money to his bank account,run to Western union,or a bank to wire or send them the money.

say they sell on a website and they use another person PAYPAL ACCOUNT,THE SALES PROCEEDS WIL go to that person kind of like a custodian,and for a fee,that person will forward the proceeds to them.

Didnt we have a thread a mile long on a guy who is disabled and work at Subway sandwich,befrend a girl in Philipines, who sent all the money from different PH sources to him,he then sent them the money via wiretransfer until one day chargebacks cometh !

Paypal offers differing options in every country.

 

You can send but not receive in Nigeria.

 

Nearly all the scams that I have helped folks avoid on here originated from Nigeria, that may have influenced paypals decision maybe?
