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.
