Cant accept payments

[shawnstolting]

Hi,

I'm from Suriname and trying to setup PayPal. Doing payments works but receiving doesn't. The person trying to send me money gets the error bellow.

If not possible to receive money with Suriname setup as my location, how can I change me account so I can accept payments.

The option to receive Paypal payments is sadly not available in Suriname.
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.
