I saw this post on FB… It was a response from paypal to someone who sent a message to them requesting to be allowed to receive naira payments.
===========================
I hope you are doing well today. My name is Nancy from PayPal Customer Service.
Thank you for your interest to receive payments using PayPal. At this time, the receive money feature is still unavailable in Nigeria due to our compliance with your local financial regulations.
I am glad to inform you that we have already applied for the Receive-Money service to be made available in your country. I assure you that we will contact you as soon as this feature becomes available so that you could use it right away. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
In the meantime, kindly contact your clients to arrange other payment options that are available for you to use such as bank transfers, money order or check.
Alternatively, if you maintain an address and banking/card details in a country where the Receive-Money service is available, you can create a PayPal account under that said country and use it to receive your payments. You may create a PayPal account under your neighboring African countries such as South Africa, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Botswana or Mozambique.
I assure you that you can definitely send international payments for free using your card ending in xx90.
We’ll be glad to hear from you if you need clarification or assistance. Please don’t hesitate to email us again. You can also call us at +1-402-517-4519 (U.S. telephone number) Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM local Nigerian time.
Thank you for choosing PayPal. Have a great day!
Sincerely,
Nancy
