Paypal Not accessible in Pakistan!

    Hello dear brothers/sister as we all know Paypal happens to be the most eminent website of traffic on the net but unfortunately it is not accessible in Pakistan and some other countries, will what we can prefer to do while we are in the need of Paypal. Don't the administrators of Paypal strive to provide this facility all over the globe?

    You just have to use another payment processor instead of paypal. Moneybookers is also good so you have to give it a try.

    DON.

    Paypal is just a private company which happens to have businesses in many countries but it has every right to decide which country and people they want to deal with. They will need to access the risk factor, profitability and legal aspects before including a new country or region.

    For the time being, until that day happens, you would probably need to find a solution which supports your country. Perhaps 2checkout.com may handle your needs, they allow you to receive money from paypal and credit cards.

    If that is the case then do not deal through ebay as if you do, you would not be able to pay and have no guarantee of receiving anything.

    It is probably in your best interest to deal with someone in your country so you be sure you get the goods and or the money.

    It happens sometimes. Don't worry. It might have happened due to change in their DNS Entry. You could compare it to the situation like domain propagation. When you change the nameservers of your domain it take 24-48 hours to propagate fully. Though the site can be accessible in US but in Asia the site is accessible after 24-30 hours. I think you should wait for couple of days.

    First of all, every Pakistani is facing problems due to paypal. Secondly i must say that if you are in need of paypal, then why don't you use your relatives details for it.Just use legal info, verify it and provide all the documents.

    And if you don't have any then go for MoneyBookers thats the best i gues for Pakistan.

    I know many relatives are not going to disclose their info or any other document. so i must say that MoneyBookers is the best choice at that time.

    as i have successfully added my account :)
    You must give it a go.

    I don't see any discolsure of personal info or documents. Paypal is simply like your bank account. The only difference is you use email id rather then account number.

    Thats the only way to use paypal, and in my opinion its the best and legal one.

    Now if someone don't have that option then simply go for money bookers.

    The fact is net mkting centers around paypal and adult affiliate around epassporte. That cannot be denied but when its not available in a few countries, it does hurt but you dont know when things can change :)

    I also use moneyb00kers but i use my friend's paypal too and then he send me money after having some good amount in it .. Thats the only way you can use it if you have any friend or relative out of Pakistan ...
    Second thing is that moneyb00kers is best and we can use it but the thing is tht 90% of dp members use paypal to pay only and that create a problem for Pakistanis

    I usually use xoom.com to send payments (Large Amounts) for personal collection and moneybookers for online transactions (but only for small amounts). I have paypal but someone gave it to me from Australia but there is always a problem to put money in it. If I want to pay someone who only takes thru paypal, then I have to send money to some friend and then request him to fund my paypal and only then I am able to pay resulting in spending more interest than I actually should.

    so thats not fair that our pakistani friends are not having the privileges to have online transaction on DP

    I am also facing problem due to unavailability of pay pal in Pakistan. But money brokers is not best as pay pal because many site received payments only through pay pal . So we from pk can't deal with any one.

    It is really a dilemma that PayPal is not accomodating Pakistan currently.
    I use moneybookers instead.

    The demand of PayPal is increasing day by day among Pakistanis I am sure one day it will be available for Pakistanis too.
