Dear Authorized person,

 

Do you have any plan to extend business to Myanmar?

Myanmar has a growing number of users who need Paypal service as payment option for internationally. 

Users living in Myanmar are facing very huge difficulties in using Paypal.

I am willing to act as business partner in Myanmar as well to deal with local authorities.

Hope you would reply my mail.

 

best regards,

Richard

Perhaps there are financial and security issues in your country that do no meet PayPal and international standards.  Perhaps your own country has financial controls which prevent use of PayPal for money transfers.

Hi Paypal support team,

 

Paypal has blocked Myanmar /Burma for quite a long times and I think that time should be over now.

Myanmar was one of the countries sanctioned by US .

On October 7 2016, US has lifted all the remaining sections including trades with Myanmar.

 

You can check the announcement here.

There are quite a lot of people doing E-commerce in Myanmar even though payment system is not yet fully developed.

They need Paypal and other online payment services to trade with clients.

Since, PayPal didn't officially support Myanmar, some of your customers lost their property by being accused as fraud activity and accounts were also being suspended.

I wonder how long do we have to wait PayPal to officially support us.

We also have online business here which need to be worked with Paypal.

 

So , I would like to ask Paypal that do you have any policy update on Myanmar?

 

And, how can we resolve our Burmese citizens accounts locked in other counteries .

 

Waiting your response.

 

Best regards.
