I'm in Micronesia and I'm wondering why I can't receive money from friends and families outside via my PayPal account. My previous account was registered in Guam and was ok. After verification process, PayPal asked me to close my previous account and register another one with my current residence. Now, I have a new account without the ability to receive money from outsdie the country. Does this have to do with the change in location? I need your help.

The option to 'receive' paypal payments is sadly not available in Micronesia
You can only 'send' payments for purchases.
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.

Thank you Kernowlass for the information. Too sad! I so hope PayPal can work its magic with my government to allow such service.
