I've been using Paypal to pay for years. Never had problems. However, once I tried to use it to receive funds I faced a problem. I was told by friends that the reason is that I'm from Azerbaijan, so I can't receive payments through Paypal. However, I made some research & it seems I can if do a special validation with Paypal. Scan & send them some sort of documents, not sure.
The option to receive paypal payments is sadly not available in your country. You can only send payments for purchases funded by your (confirmed) credit card.
Paypal varies a lot country to country and can only offer the services that the banks / governments of that country allow it to offer. There are quite a few countries unable to receive paypal payments.
