    When I signed up with paypal I thought that I would be doing transaction easily on the internet but I came to realized that I can only send money using my paypal account but I cannot receive money from people. THis makes it difficult to continue using paypal account, are any members experiencing the same problem as mine

    Loads of people have that problem.

    Sign up with an alternative payment processor then- Moneybookers, 2Co, Alertpay are a few examples.

    As far as I know,There is no limit on how much money you can receive...But for unverified account you have a limit of $500 to send...
    Where are you from?

    PayPal was not at fault! Before open up an account with PayPal, you should first go to "Worldwide" and select your country or region to find out about PayPal’s offerings.

    If your country is not on the recieve list of Paypal then you would not be able to recieve payments from Paypal members. As you post indicate you are from Paypal Send only country so you can only send the payments not recieve them .

    The best option here would be go with other Payment processors like Moneybookers or Alert Pay. You can recieve money through them

    Paypal is the most worst payment processor of all times. As some have said it's because of where your located. The simple solution to this problem is getting a US based Paypal account. Simply get a proxy to get a US ip address and create a new account.
