hello,
I am from Mauritania, where we can only send payment
I am confused about "Seller tools"
I can access Seller tools :
(((
PayPal buttons
Create and manage secure buttons for your customers to add items to their cart, buy, donate, or subscribe.

 

Website preferences
Control how you sell online by turning on express checkouts and bringing customers back to your website after they pay with PayPal.

 

Instant payment notifications
Stay informed by turning on notifications for payments made on your website.

 

Payment receiving preferences
Accept payments in foreign currencies, block accidental payments, ask for instructions, and more.
)))


but when click on "Invoices" I get :
(((
Your Account May Only Be Used to Send Money

As a PayPal Send Only account holder, you are not permitted to receive funds from other PayPal account holders.
)))
Can I get paid on Etsy.com and Udemy.com?
what's the benefit of "Seller tools" for me?
thank you

The option to receive Paypal payments is sadly not available in

  • Mauritania


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.
