Plimus (http://www.plimus.com/) is also another alternative. Using Plimus, you can accept payment from Paypal from your users and Plimus will pay you using check or wire transfer. In other words, It's just like CO but does not have any setup fee.
For your kind information, except Paypal, all other US based companies graciously offer services to Pakistanis. Ebay, Amazon, Yahoo, Gmail, Godaddy etc etc. Pakistan is all Taliban only if whole of the USA are Nazis.
Geo sucks and do you think that Paypal and Americans watch Geo TV? Geo's boundaries start and end at Pakistan.
Pakistani government? What sort of flexibility you are expecting? Paypal is dependent on banking infrastructure and in case of fraud, how banks and the local government deals with it. Our banking sector is as par with the rest of the world. We have most of the international banks like, Deutsch Bank, Citibank, Standard Chartered, ABN Amro, American Express etc operating here successfully. These banks as well as many banks offers credit cards, that are accepted on the internet as well globally. Now, what else Paypal wants from Pakistan? I don't see any role of government here.
While I cannot speak for PP, they have nothing against Pakistan and I am sure they would love to begin operating there. The issue is one of many. Not all countries have the same laws or infrastructure that make it possible to work in all countries. Even if Pakistan has a much higher value than a smaller country, if the smaller country is more hospitable in terms of laws and payment system setup, then they will have to integrate with the smaller country instead. With that said, I am sure it is just a matter of time before PayPal works in your country. Regards, MB
I read on some forum that paypal will start its operations in pakistan in 2009.I dont whether thats true or not but at least we have some hope.One of my friend contacted pay pal about this same issue and paypal said that laws in pakistan are not sufficient for them to start their operations in pak.
my guess is paypal will not come to pakistan in near future US GOVT wont allow it , i bet why egold blocked/freezed all iranians account , do u guys have a clue its all politics in this region they be afraid that so called Terrorist will send funds easily from pakistan let me tell u banking / governing is corrupt here u can even get a CITIBINK bank statement by spending some cash(even if u dont have a account with them ,hahaha) , so no need to say we have international banks here, caz the staff is local we need to change the system and mentality first of ppl
Use paypal by any different country, verify it by a VCC (i sell these too) and find an online partner. If ur partner is trustworthy send him the payment via paypal and tell him to send you cash via Western Union or something
The pakistani ppl r stupid aswell. i mean here no one knws wtf they r doing! The government when implying the Day light saving time, said that all shops should close on 9pm, so do they? NO because shopkeepers think, y should i close my shop? no one is coming to ask y u didn't close so y close? They also said that the weekends will become friday and saturday, hav they? i dont think so :-S
US GOVT wont allow it ? lol ... PayPal under control of US govt ? Educidate your logic ! ... lol I think terrorist will need to transfer millions of rupees and paypal can only allow them trasfer of $4000 only ... this will not be a good idea for terrorists !
@ campolar I'm not sure about all pak ppl but u certainly r stupid,what has that crap of yours got to do with this topic.
Hey hey, you are going wrong, this is about Paypal in Pakistan not other problems, if government schedule business times here, then its our problem not yours. Keep your eye on this, "PayPal in Pakistan"
I had no idea this discussion will end like this in fact it will never end Anyways if you have anything useful to add then do share with everyone !
I would recommend you Kashif to leave this discussion that when will this PayPal in Pakistan. Signup with anyother service, like 2CO, etc
Dear Why You Don't Use Western Union Kick off PayPal & All Fake Processor I Investigate About this Services 95% Say it's Scam & Fake I Hope You Like My Suggestion.
Why dont you all people write a letter to Governor of the State Bank Of Pakistan asking why they are not allowing paypal to come in Pakistan. http://www.sbp.org.pk/feedback/index.asp
Seems like a nice idea but nothing can be done uless both parties ( Pakistani Govt. and PayPal ) agree to this and at this stage both of them do not seem to be interested
