SOUTH AFRICA RAND (ZAR)

Hi there,

I'm wanting to send some money to someone in South Africa but have noticed that you don't have the rand (ZAR) as part of your currency list.

Is there anyway to send money to South Africa and have it be converted to Rands without paying any additional fees?

 

Thank you

Hi,

 

We too have been longing for paypal to be implemented in SA.

 

Paypal iam sorry to say, i am also going to close my account until you have added us. Will be using other services and promoting them.

CANT BELIEVE paypal wont accept its CREATOR'S home country's currency... is this really the middle finger Elon would be pointing at us? or is this just some **bleep** bag board member being spiteful? there is so much business in the southern tip of Africa, what on earth is wrong with you guys?!?! Get your **bleep** off the beach and do some paper work so you can inevitably earn more money !!!

Whose keen on starting an antiPayPal money market?

So I started reading this topic from the first post that was 2 years ago and we still DONT have an option for ZAR currency in PayPal. I mean how long can this really go on for?

Really Paypal, Since 2014 people have been asking you to provide the Zar currency, but all you have done is give us excuses. Are you waiting for us to move to another company which will provide our currency for you to take us serious?

Hi 

 

I get payments in USD, from clients, and I'm based in SA.

What fees should I account for when billing my clients?

Hi there,

 

May I ask how you linked a bank account? I am trying to transfer money but it is only giving me options for American banks.

 

Regards,
