How can I receive payment direct to my Account

[Dvaneyck]

When a customer tried to pay me they get this message:

"This recipient accepts PayPal payments only through their website. To complete this payment, please go to their website and follow their instructions, or email the recipient for instructions.”

How can I change this in Settings so that they can pay direct to my Account?

Thank you

Sadly you can't.

The option to receive paypal payments is sadly not available in Sri Lanka.
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.

Thank you. I wish PayPal made this more evident on their site. Or do they? Have I missed something?

Did you see the link i posted?

Also if you go to your own countries website as per link below you will see buy or send at the top and no option to receive payments.
