Hi @Swisst182,

Thank you for your post! I'm sorry to hear that the IPN isn't working right now. For technical issues of this type, I would suggest posting in the Merchant Integration Technical Support Community, or in situations where the issue is a technical problem on PayPal's side, opening a ticket to our technicians at https://www.paypal-support.com after logging in there.

I hope this is resolved swiftly for you!

Hi @Raji_Razaq,

Thank you for your interest in receiving money through PayPal. I regret that not every feature or product is available in every country. There are many factors that go into the determination of what features can be used in each country.

PayPal is always working to expand the availability of products and services, but for the time being we are unable to offer the ability to receive funds in Nigeria. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
