Dear Nairalander,

Kindly I just opened a paypal, vtn and graphcard accounts for my online business but I don't know what else to do to integrate the payment system on my website so I could receive payment online for my goods and services.

Thanks for your help.

1. Are u in 9ja or the west?
2. I bet paypal has customer service representatives that would be happy to chat with you

@ cexplorer, pls can u send me the procedure of opening a paypal accout, i mean the ip changi, i already have a US adress 4rm graphcard, how do i verify the account, ppls reply, my email is jazzymondoe@yahoo.com

I am a Nigerian and I live in Nigeria. I am yet to verify the account because it has to be funded and I have not done that yet. Actually, I don't know much about the procedure. A friend who knows how to and had opened the account assisted me to open it but he does not know how to integrate it into a website to receive money for goods and services sold online.

I need an assistance/guide on what to do. Could you please link me with one of the Paypal customer service representatives that would be happy to chat with me on the issue?

Thank you.

Paypal does not accept Nigerians as customers, there are ways around this though. However if you want to integrate with a website you are better off with Alertpay.

Hey dude,

If you a Nigerian living in Nigeria, I would advise you to forget PayPal for now.

Please don't make money that you will never enjoy because PayPal will get your account frozen as fast as you could ever imagine once they've gotten all the facts that you are a Nigerian.

And they will not do it when the account has no money in it. Certainly, they will wait until you have made enough money.

Think about it.

paypal is making Nigerian's go crazy, there are other means of payment online, both paying and recieving. must you use paypal? since they don't accept your country.

The truth remains that we cant blame paypal for their action.
At least you and i know the fraudulent nature of Nigerians,
paypal is said to be the safest online merchant. So you blame
them when they froze an account own by a nigeria because we
cause it by ourself.
For those who want a good payment merchant, you can use 2co.com or
plimus.com for such service. One of the advantage of these merchant is,
they accept Nigerians and they will also send you a master card you can use
withdraw your money from ATM machine here in Nigeria.

But, Collins, do you realise that without Paypal the possibility of tapping into online money making opportunities is rather limited?
