Can I receive Wire Transfer from US into my Pay Pal Account.

[irfananwar]

Hi I am new and have couple of questions:

1. I have a work from home job and my employer from US is ready to do a wire transfer. Can I receive the money into my PayPal Account on a monthly basis.

2. Also how long can I keep my money in my Paypal account.

3. Can I pay others into their Paypal Accounts directly. 

4. I have a South African Bank Account and also an Indian Bank account. Can I add both to my PayPal account and transfer into either of them.

“1. I have a work from home job and my employer from US is ready to do a wire transfer. Can I receive the money into my PayPal Account on a monthly basis.”

Yes. If sender do not have a PayPal account they can Xoom the money direct to your South African bank account from their bank account, credit card, debit card. 

What is Xoom and how does it work?

If sender has PayPal account, they can send payment from their PayPal account to your PayPal account, too.

”2. Also how long can I keep my money in my Paypal account.” 

As long as you like.

Be sure to verify your PayPal account by linking credit or debit card. And link a bank account through FNB, for withdrawing payments sent to your PayPal balance by other PayPal account holders.

Tutorial for linking bank account through FNB.

”3. Can I pay others into their Paypal Accounts directly. ”

Yes.

“4. I have a South African Bank Account and also an Indian Bank account. Can I add both to my PayPal account and transfer into either of them.”

You cannot link India bank to your South Africa PayPal account to transfer to. South Africa bank accounts only.
