My cousin in Mexico has a PayPal account and I have one here in the USA. He often asks me to make purchases for him from online retailers due to the lack of availability or high cost of goods in Mexico. The problem is that his credit card is often not accepted here (even though it is a Visa) and his attempt to purchase using his PayPal account, charging his credit card on PayPal, have also been unsuccessful. Can he transfer converted pesos (pesos to US dollars) from his PayPal account to mine so I can either take funds out of my PayPal account or use the account to make purchases for him? If so, what charges/fees are involved? I've asked this of PayPal but have yet to receive an answer. Has anyone had this experience?
