Hi kervelle, 

 

Thank you for contacting the PayPal Community Forum and welcome as a new member!

 

It would depend on where the recipient is in Africa, some customers in Africa can use PayPal to send payments but cannot receive payments. It will also depend on the currency you are using as well. If the recipient does accept the currency you are paying, the payment will not go through.
