If you want advice say WHICH COUNTRY YOU ARE IN. 

As Paypal varies so much country to country no one can advise if you don't say as I have already asked in this thread once.

I have the same issue and I'm in Nigeria. All I have ever done with the account is to make online purchases now I want to receive money with it from Givvy and it was returned back to the company. Please help me.

The option to receive paypal payments is sadly not available in Nigeria.
You can only send payments for purchases funded by your (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.

Nigeria. But does it mean someone can't send me money via PayPal?
