Can you share how you setup the use PayPal. I have tried doing that and after like two days, they will ask me to provide USA documents.

A strong VPN is the key. Also linking a US phone number makes dem calm without disturbing u for any document. I have never been asked for any document since i have using it

Been using my Nigeria PayPal for years now. I make payment with it almost everyday. But there’s no way you can receive funds if it’s a nigeria account. I’ve tried every means available. And yes my account is a business account. Let the op show me the money he has received with his PayPal account before I’ll believe him.

Brother, I opened my PayPal account using the same method couple of weeks back. After that, I tried receiving and send petty fund using the account. U can find screenshot below. The whole account set up is virtually linked to Nigeria details (Ur ID, ur Address,). The only place u change country is at the point of ATM card linking.

Oga you are wrong. I have a Nigerian Paypal account and a UK Paypal account. The Nigerian Paypal account was opened in Nigeria and I make purchases with it with no problems. The UK Paypal account was opened while I was doing my Masters program in the UK and I still access the account here in Nigeria without using a VPN and it works perfectly.

At least you agree that you need to HIDE your Nigerian IP in order to maintain a PayPal account without incurring that BLACKLIST sanction.

In this vein, I can assume with full confidence that you are NOT about to try and use PayPal's services whilst indicating a Nigerian IP address.

I never said I hide my IP. I said access it WITHOUT using a VPN.

Please I will need your advice on this. I have been trying to open a PayPal account since last week later I got a message that I should provide proof of evidence of my address and also give my card statement. So I did that two days ago but for the address I was told I need to provide a utility bill which I did but they complained that my name doesn't appear on the utility bill so I explained to them that it's a rented apartment and won't have my name but the name of the property owner. I don't have any national document to send that showcased my address but till now my account is still limited. So I m thinking of what other option to take. I am thinking of closing the account to open a new one but my concern is the old account is already link to my debit card so I felt that should I open a new account can I still link the same card to the new PayPal
Thanks

You need a proof.
National ID card, voter card, passport or drivers license

I honestly have no idea how you pulled off this feat, sir, because I know of SEVERAL PayPal customers of long standing, who were ALL blacklisted forever, the INSTANT they tried to carry out PayPal transactions whilst visiting Nigeria.

Na him be say ya juju dey strong, no be small ting.

Frankly I am utterly mystified by your unbelievable claim.

sixtus3606:
.
my exact thought!

But the process dey rugged oOo!! Lazyreporta

I sent a letter to PayPal last year and they responded by saying,it is our country that has imposed the non-receiving feature on accounts opened in Nigeria.

Jakumo:
It may interest readers in Nigeria to learn that PayPal will instantly BLOCK any and all accounts that indicate transactions going into, or out of Nigeria.

Yes sir indeed, I can attest with absolute certainty that Nigeria has been BLACKLISTED by PayPal ever since that platform was created.

Anyone who doubts for an instant the facts I have stated here is free to test the truth of my report here by simply attempting to use PayPal whilst inside Nigeria. Regardless of how long your PayPal account has been open, the instant that account is used for ANY transaction traceable to Nigeria, that PayPal account WILL be closed right away, and the OWNER of the account will also be blacklisted, so that they can NEVER open another PayPal account ANYWHERE on this planet.

I would encourage anyone living in the USA or Europe, and who runs a PayPal account, to call my bluff and so much as TRY to use their account whilst in Nigeria. When your account is closed for LIFE, you can write back here and tell us all how truly sorry you are for making such a terrible mistake as to use PayPal in Nigeria.

Don't say you were not warned.

Bros why all these epistle ontop all these lies wey u don blow for ground na?

BlackAfrican:
If not for the use CBN governor we have, why will Nigerians be allowed to send out money via paypal and not receive? Hundreds of thousands of Nigerian online entrepreneurs can't bring their earnings home because our useless financial regulators don't care. Yet, they want Nigeria to progress.

Op your info is nice o. But I can tell you that this method will not prevent you from escaping paypal limitation, which is just one of the ways they steal our hard earned money.

Cheers.

Sometimes I wonder if the CBN governor is active. This PayPal issue would have been a major source of foreign exchange.
So depressing.

You should not be surprised with the ability to operate a Nigerian Paypal account from Nigeria. Paypal does not have any policy against doing so, except that you cannot receive payments with it.

Be warned. Don't have anything to do with stan9. He's a cheap scammer. He's gong to ask you for money and when you pay him, he won't do anything that you had agreed with him.

He's a scammer on the watch list.

MASSIVE LIMITATION!!!

OP you didn't tell them the consequences of opening a paypal account.

Pay him no mind. He does not know what he is speaking of. I have both US and UK paypal accounts and I use them regularly on eBay and other sites.

The OP must be a newbie to PayPal to think he can outsmart Paypal, what bank will you withdraw your balance to? If they Limit your account where would you tell them you are operating from? When you have a different card on file? My advice. Don’t do it.

NoBorders:
Don't try this bypass! It's not worth it,PayPal will find out somehow and your account will be blocked and your funds will be held for 180 days(6 months) . Have been a victim not hearsay.

After 180 days, what happened next?

So how exactly can I receive and cash out money on PayPal with complete rest of mind, as someone living in Nigeria?

Very explicit explanation. Good job.

What you wrote is true years ago. But that changed since PayPal Nigeria waa launched. You can now open your foreign PayPal account in Nigeria as long as you are not changing the account details.

And even before then and now, any issue that warrants blocking your PayPal account were and still easily resolved soon as you get back to your foreign base and use the number used in setting up the account to call them.

About 5/6 years ago, my foreign PayPal account was blocked while accessing it in Nigeria trying to confirm a payment. But soon as I got back, called PayPal they unblocked it almost immediately. But warned me not to access the account again in Nigeria till they change their policy stand on Nigeria.

Since PayPal Nigeria was launched I am now able to access the account when in Nigeria and it doesn't get blocked.

But what the OP is proposing is very risky, especially when funds start coming into the PayPal account and he has to transfer the funds into his bank account... Very likely it will get blocked by then

hmmm

Based on the specific details I note above, I am pretty sure that I might know exactly who you are outside of this forum, though my Oracle has been wrong before.

Wonderment.

E get as e be.

Wettin man pikin nogo see for this life ?

Anyway, right or wrong though my Sherlock Holmes presumption about your true identity may be, I nonetheless feel that my observation about PayPal's default stance on all things Nigeria, is at least partially vindicated by none other than one of Nairaland's longest-serving and most esteemed moderators, so, for this OFFICIAL endorsement of my reports on this subject, I hastily commot my cap with gratitude sir.

On a related note it is great news to learn that PayPal has finally opened the business door just a crack for Nigerian users, particularly in light of the stance previously taken in the recent past. I never in my entire life thought I would live to hear the name "PayPal Nigeria", outside the context of a one-liner joke about the very notion.

E get as e be.

mazinoweb:
Good. If everyone is using that, PayPal might just blocked it. For now I use UAE PayPal to receive and send.

pls, how did you get the identification document to verify your account

Stan9:



You can operate a US PayPal account here in Nigeria using a strong VPN. And u will be able to send and receive payment with it without any issue.
I have several of such account created by me.
