I tried to send a friend from Nigeria $1 through PayPal, but then it said "the country you are trying to send funds to cannot receive this payment". What should I do?
Try sending via xoom as the option to receive Paypal payments is sadly not available in Nigeria. 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.
Advice is voluntary. Kudos / Solution appreciated.
