Paypal is country specific so you have to open a paypal account in the country you reside in and add an address / phone number / and bank accounts from within that country.

If you are trying to use a US account in Mexico then you may hit problems including paying international fees to receive funds in Mexico.

Still..the numbers don't match with international fees.

Amount: $29.99

PayPal fee: $1.90

Total: $28.09

$1.90÷$29.99 = 0.0634 or appx. 6% or specifically 6.34%
