Withdrawing Money From Paypal In Africa

    Hi guys, and ladies.

    I'm from Kenya and I recently started accepting payments online via paypal. It was quite a task getting my account set up and confirmed but I managed to do that and I can comfortably pay and receive using Paypal.

    But there's a problem. I cannot withdraw funds. This means I can online use Paypal to pay for things online but I cannot get the cold hard cash, if you know what I mean. :p

    Does anyone know how I can go round this? Thank you so much for your help.

    Well, I'm from America and I hear a lot of Indian PayPal users use the "request a check". I think that is available for most countries but it may take a week up to three weeks. And the cost is about $3 I think. As long as PayPal is allowed in Kenya and you didn't input false information, it should be easy. Good luck;)

    Kenya is listed in send only country
    https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/
    ther ei no way you can legally accept money by paypal, there is a way around this to open comapny in supported country and accept money through that company

    Find one of your friends who is paypal verified and is from US or Canada then just send them the money and have them withdraw to their bank account and then have them send it to your bank account. Ofcourse, I am sure they are going to want a cut of the profit money.

    As Africa is not listed in paypal, it is not possible to receive money in your country dude. Find third party trusted people who can help you in this matter.

    i am from kenya too, paypal allows kenyans to receive money however we can only withdraw to us bank account..e-peas.net is a kenyan hosting company which helps people to transfer money from paypal to your mobile phone banking account(mpesa). the only disadvantage is that the fees are very high..for every $56 you will only get $43.
