Hi. Can I register for a PayPal business account from another country (South Africa)? Or are business accounts only for US citizens? Thank you

Paypal is country specific so you open a paypal account in the country you reside in.

As long as your country can 'receive' paypal payments then normally you can have a business account.

But you can also sell on a personal account, you only need a business one if you are a high volume seller / registered business or paypal requests you to upgrade for whatever reason.

 

However in your country you can only withdraw to a FNB bank.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
