Paypal became available a few years ago now to South Africans. Unfortunately, it remains a one-way vacuum cleaner, happily taking money out of the South Africa, while South African entrepreneurs and businesses remain hobbled and unable to earn anything back.<\/p>\n

After years of seeing the stock PayPal continues to research how best to
\nexpand its offering in South Africa<\/em> on their website, I decided to ask Paypal for details on why this remains the case.<\/p>\n

I specifically asked for details – is it because of government exchange control regulations? Resources on their side? Fear of fraud?<\/p>\n

Unfortunately the answer wasn’t very helpful…<\/p>\n


\nDear Ian,<\/p>\n

Thank you for taking the time to write to us with your concerns in regards
\nto receiving funds, my name is Barbara. <\/p>\n

Ian, due to the complexities of global finance, members in some countries
\nand regions may not use PayPal to receive payments only send payments, but
\nthis is certainly not a reflection on our customers nor their countries. <\/p>\n

For more information on individual country and region capabilities to send
\nand receive funds, visit https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/<\/a> and click “PayPal
\nWorldwide.” The countries listed under “Send Money to Anyone in the Growing
\nPayPal Network” cannot receive payments. <\/p>\n

PayPal is constantly working to expand and improve our services for our
\ncustomers. We hope to expand our features for these countries or regions
\nbut due to the complexities of global finance, we cannot give a timetable <\/p>\n

for this expansion. <\/p>\n

We appreciate your patience and understanding regarding this matter, and
\nplease continue to check back for continuing changes.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,
\nBarbara
\nPayPal, an eBay Company
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Can anyone shed any light on this? Alternatively, feel free to pester Paypal with requests for me info until they provide something more useful!<\/p>\n
