Hello,
I am based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and have a PayPal personal account. I am thinking of starting an E-Commerce business (on Shopify) serving end customers in North America. I was planning on using PayPal as the payment gateway but have come to realize that PayPal does not allow withdrawal for Personal account holders in the UAE. In order to do withdrawals, you need to upgrade to a business account - this in itself is not an issue but in order to set-up a business account on PayPal in UAE you are required to provide business license documentation. I had no intention of acquiring a business license as the cost is almost USD15,000-USD20,000 and that is a huge start-up obstacle for me.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this? How can i withdraw from my PayPal account while based in UAE?
