HI all,
I am trying to send money to a cousin in Ukraine, from Canada. I have never sent money through Paypal before but it seems to be the easiest and safest way. I have verified our account and their account is verified. I have transferred over a couple dollars to them with limited issues by 1) sending it directly to their email/account, and 2) adding money to my account then transferring it to theirs. This was a test to make sure it worked.
Now that I verified they would get the money I want to send a larger amount ~$500. I was going to add funds to my account and then transfer it, but after saying "pending" for 2 days (pending to add the money to my account), it now says it will be a week before it is deposited. So I though I would then just transfer it directly to their email/account. I went through the process and when I hit send, I received the error "This recipient accepts PayPal payment only through their website".
I did not receive this error when I sent the low dollar amount, so why am I seeing it now? Do I need to create an account on the Ukrainian website? How can I get around/fix this? Any support on this would be greatly appreciated.

The option to receive Paypal payments is sadly not available in the Ukraine.
They can only send payments for purchases funded by a (confirmed) credit card.
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.
