    hello guys,

    i have a premier paypal account.I use it collect donations on my forum.Howeer there are members who dont have paypal because for e.g they are from a country where paypal isnt avaliable like maldives.

    Is there other way i can ask then to donate.Like though a credit card.Paypal says premier account holders can accept payment from credit cards.Iw ould like to know if this is possible.Or i can recieve donations only from other paypal account holders.

    Let me know.

    thanx

    Although the Premier account allows you to accept credit card payments, the other party still need to be from a paypal approved country or else the donations would not be accepted.

    There is only a small handful of countries which are not supported but Maldives is not one of those. Maldives is a supported country. Paypal currently supports 190 out of the 200 countries around the world.

    thanku very much for the detail.

    Also i found out that business account holders of paypal can recieve payments from credit card n the sender do not need a paypal account himself.

    True, it is true that the sender does not necessary need to be a paypal account holder but they still need to come from a supported country.
