The option to 'receive' paypal payments is sadly not available in Sri Lanka or on a Sri Lankan account.
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.
