    Remember Moneybookers is british and I guess the british government has no issues with their ecommerce businesses conducting business there, where as paypal is American and the government there does have issues. In my opinion paypal sux and ppl should boycott it and move to moneybookers until we the ppl can see a more fair payment system

    There is nothing called political or economic matters involved with paypal operation in pakistan.. Simply paypal itself is stupid enough to ignore 180 million population and there is no solid reason behind their stupidity.

    They arent but two things strike me out of this

    1. Venezuela is not an Islamic country and if you look at the controlled media they are only portraying muslims as terrorists (sorry its harsh but its whats happening and you cant deny it)

    2. The American empire is already established in most of South America so venezuela is not much of a threat especially the fact that they benefit from venzuelan resources such as oil and I believe they have a good grasp on their economy where as with Pakistan they still have not been able to establish a base or control the economy in any way.

    And if you ask paypal for a reason they send you that stupid preformatted email about them doing their best to expand further without actually giving you a proper reason, I think its really stupid.

    1) i dont care whatever world thinks about muslims.. its not a religious section to discuss that.

    2) you can visit https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/ and count the number of muslim countries paypal operate in, i tried to, but couldn't hold on to counting, they are alot.

    Paypal is only available for few countries, i dont believe that there's a good reason for that.
    For Countries other than US, Canada or European countries paypal accounts cant recieve funds, you may just deposit on it and buying or transfer money using it.
    Contacting Paypal is useless, so dont.

    This is not really the point.
    Paypal finds it useless to support those countries because they have few traffic. Paypal won't support Tunisia if only 50 will subscribe.
    So countries that paypal is not supporting don't count for him anything

    I don't think that low subscriber base is the reason behind paypal not available in Pakistan.

    Paypal is mainly US Based, and US giovt. isnt ahppy with Pakistan govt. since its very unstable as it seems to me. Any govt. can get thrown at anytime. Dont know about banking system, pakistan is very unstable as it seems to me at present day. Dont know about future. Paypal provieds money in India, so its not they dont support asia. In the subcontinent, i think india is only country with paypal.
    And as many say there are foreign banks in Pakistan. Foreign banks are actually same as normal banks. They have to get the money in the same process the other banks get. For eg. Here in India all banks are under RBI, whether foreign or Indian. And they have an unbique code. And is transferred by paypal to the corresponding bank wiith the same code. People can also make transfer to Net banking, this is called NEFT. This is what its in India. Id ont know basically anything about banking system in pakistan, just saying they have basically the same process as normal banks.

    Btw, Can you guys at pakistan do funds transfer online trhrough e-banking? Particularly if through pakistani banks.

    I would like to increase my knowledge. And maybe tell something more with that info.

    Thanks

    Hello.

    I am from Pakistan, & have no problem at all. yeh there are few problems here, like Taliban, but I believe Western Media is show much over than original. this is not true that Banking system is not good here, What about those banks, whom whole world proud? where they are now :D everybody knows. But even in these times, Pakistani Banking system working very well & proved that, they are best.

    We can use any online services here, & many services are already working well here, like MoneyBookers, Alertpay etc, all are available.

    I strongly believe, PayPal will come & try its luck in Pakistan, when everyone will leave PayPal :D

    No need of this PayPal, Mostly are going angry with them.

    So, All Paki Friends, join MoneyBookers, they are really good & secure than this mr Paypal.

    Regards
