Get PayPal Account That Sends and Receives Payments Without VPN

It is no more news that PayPal restricted some countries from receiving payments (funds) from clients abroad. Users in these banned regions can only make payments but can't receive. That's too bad especially if you are an internet marketer, blogger, Freelancer, Affiliate specialist, to mention but a few. This is because PayPal is the main form of receiving payments for the services you render online especially from foreign clients.

Some of the countries that cannot receive payments on PayPal includes; Nigeria, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Cote D'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Monaco, Moldova, Montenegro, Myanmar, Pakistan, Paraguay, Saint Lucia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Timor-Leste, Uzbekistan and Zimbabwe. However, PayPal is not available at all to some of nations listed above.

Well, I have a trick that I will reveal to those interested in having a PayPal account that sends and receives money in restricted countries like Nigeria.

PayPal is so important that you can't do without it. I could remember some years back when I lost on some couple of business deals from foreign clients simply because their only method of payment was via PayPal and then, I don't have the one that receives payments. Until I was able to decode a trick that works better than the VPN method.

Talking about VPN, many Nigerians used VPN to open accounts and it works but it doesn't last. The VPN method is very risky and volatile. A little mistake could get your account blocked and you loose the money inside.

But my method is clean and lasts longer once it's opened. You just need to follow the simple rule of not logging with many devices.

IMPORTANCE OF PAYPAL
✔ Payment is made easily. No need to visit your bank, western union, etc for international payments
✔️ You receive the payment for your goods and services as fast as possible
✔️ The platform is highly secured
✔️ It is the most acceptable payment service in the world
✔️ Sign up is free of charge
✔️ It has an app with simple user interface
✔️ You can pay for virtually anything online with via PayPal
✔️ etc.

PAYONEER AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO PAYPAL

It's true that Payoneer is a great alternative to PayPal as it offers almost all the features of PayPal but it's still unclear while some top foreign companies don't make use of it. They seems to prefer PayPal to Payoneer.

Though I have both accounts. In fact, this my trick requires you get both Payoneer and PayPal account for easy withdrawal of your money either to your local bank account or via ATM.

HOW TO OPEN PAYPAL THAT SENDS AND RECEIVE MONEY

I am sorry to say this but I had to. Initially, I wanted to write an Ebook for this service because it's not free but on a second thought, I decided to put it down as a post for those of you who are willing to get it. In order words, the information is not FREE.

To get this PayPal account, you need to contact me via whatsapp with this number +234-8-0-6-2-2-7-6-4-9-0 (remove the hyphens) or contact me via email (wizytechs @ gmail.com).

Please send "INFO ON PAYPAL ACCOUNT" then I will reply you with the procedures.

Only for interested people please. Don't come and chat me up if you aren't interested. Thanks guys for understanding.

2 Best Nigeria Cards that PayPal Accept with Ease



Do you ever wish to pay for something in Nigeria using your PayPal account but it seems you can’t figure out the card that can be accepted? This is what this article is about.
Nigeria PayPal

In this blog post today I will be revealing cards that I have had success with why trying to pay for something with my Paypal Card.

If you are you are a starter and you are can’t seem to understand how this things works I will like to refresh your mind.

Paypal is an international payment platform that you can use to buy and sell from anywhere in the world. Usually, before your Paypal account can be verified, must have to link it with a bank or your international master card like Payoneer.

This is done at the very end of registration after you have logged in to your account. Remember there are two types of Paypal account.
•    Business account and
•    A personal account.
The two serves different purposes.

A business account type:
This is strictly for business owners. On this type of account, you can be able to send in payment to your client and as well as receive payment. Basically, it does every type of transaction online so far as it is verified.

Note that you can’t receive payments to paypal as a Nigerian, but you may check this PayPalNigeria Guide to get one that sends and receive payments.

A personal Account:
This is strictly for shopping purposes and what we are talking about on this post. You can shop with your Computer or mobile from any part of the world.

However, before you can be able to shop with any of the accounts, it is either you have a card that has money linked to it or there are already some funds on the Paypal. Once a card is linked to a Paypal account and you were able to verify that you own the account, that Paypal account becomes verified.

While you can link to a card you can also link directly to your bank here in Nigerian.
But this is where the problem comes; which bank card can you be able to link to here in Nigerian and have a flexible and hassle-free experience while shopping online?

What Nigeria Cards are best for PayPal?

From my experience and research to know the bank that can help in this task, I was able to confirm two bank cards over and over again.

•    FCMB and
•    Access Bank Cards

With either of these two cards linked to your Paypal account; either that of personal or that of business, you can be able to shop anywhere with your Paypal account.
So how do you link to this bank card?

Here is a brief step of how to link your card.

I believe by now you already have a Paypal account you are using. If you don’t have, go ahead and create an account before starting these steps. Hence if you already have an account you can follow this step to link your card.
•    Log in to your account; (most times if you haven’t done this, it will always be listed as a to-do list on the right side of your PayPal dashboard where you have your profile.
•    Click on your profile and click on “Link a Card”
•    Fill the necessary information about your FCMB or Access Bank card details required on the page.

Beware of This New PayPal Scam Targeting Your Bank Account

PayPal is undoubtedly one of the most popular online payment platform used by millions of merchants all over the world. Because of security reasons such as scams, PayPal was restricted in some countries in a bid to make the system safer and trusted for users and that has yielded so many positive results. However, currently there is a security issue in as some scammers are sending a phishing scam targeting your PayPal account to get access to your bank information.
PayPal
According to the report, the Better Business Bureau is now warning PayPal users to be on alert for the scam.

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS

The Scammers sends a purchase confirmation email that is similar to the official one sent by PayPal. The message will tell you that you recently had a purchase on your PayPal account.

Then they will add a link in the email to cancel the transaction but the link is disguised and will instead download malicious malware to your computer. Once this is done, it will start collecting your bank information on the computer. Here is an example of the scam mail below

HOW TO STAY SAFE

For now, if you are not sure of the message on your PayPal account, don't try clicking the links attached to the email sent to you. The best thing to start doing now is to contact PayPal directly if you have doubts.

CHECKOUT SOME TIPS FROM THE BBB FOR IDENTIFYING PHISHING SCAMS:

✔️ Protect Yourself from Phishing Emails:

✔️ Call before you click: If something sounds suspicious, confirm it by calling the company or checking the company website. Type the URL directly into your browser or do a web search. DON'T click on any links in unexpected messages.

✔️ Look for misspellings: Look out for spelling and grammar mistakes when dealing with a suspicious-looking email claiming to come from well known companies. Additionally, check the copyright at the bottom of the email - if it looks even slightly different, then it is most likely a fake.

✔️ Be cautious of generic emails: Scammers try to cast a wide net by including little or no specific information in their fake emails. Always be wary of messages that don't contain your name, last digits of your account number or other personalized information.

How To Open PayPal Account In Nigeria, Verify And Link It With Your MasterCard

PayPal is arguably the most popular and globally accepted means of online transactions that offers a very strong user security. When it was initially launched, Nigerians and some other countries were excluded from the list of supported countries but later in June 16, 2014 Rupert Keeley, the executive in charge of the EMEA region of PayPal, the payments unit of eBay Inc, said in an interview on Monday (16th June, 2014) that 10 new countries were going to make their list of which Nigeria was included. However, Nigeria was only limited to sending money and using the platform for online transactions but "can't receive funds" as of today.

On this article, am going to show you how to open a PayPal account in Nigeria, verify it and link your bank account with it so that you can make online purchases and transactions safely and easily.

IMPORTANCE AND ADVANTAGES OF PAYPAL
There are many advantages enjoyed with the use of PapPal and i will highlight seven of them according to an online fellow
1. Credit card security: When you sign up for a PayPal account, you type in the credit cards and bank accounts you wish to use for purchases one time on the PayPal secure system. Once that is accomplished, you never again have to disclose your credit card information online. By paying with PayPal, you keep your credit card information private, meaning that you can shop without worrying about a hacker downloading your account data from your online merchant.

2. Sending money: Whether you need to send money to a child at college or a friend in trouble across the globe, PayPal users can instantly transfer money to them with just a click of the mouse. Save time and money over costly Western Union style transfers while getting money to where you wish to send it faster than ever.


3. Cost: One of the best reasons for using PayPal is its cost: free. That’s right. No annual membership fees, no processing fees, no service charges. Shoppers using PayPal get all the powerful advantages associated with the service and do not have to pay one dime.


4. Discounts: PayPal sponsors special discounts for customers that shop with PayPal at selected retailers. Users who visit www.paypal-shopping.com can find the latest special offers from companies like HP, Barnes & Noble, Wal-Mart, Nike, and more. The bottom line is that PayPal can save you money on the things you need at the places where you shop. To take advantage of the savings all you have to do is copy the special promo code from the PayPal shopping Web page and paste it into your order at your merchant’s site when you pay with PayPal.


5. Online Auctions: How could anyone talk about PayPal without mentioning eBay? Because PayPal is integrated with the online auction powerhouse, you can place bids and make purchases safely. Buyer protection and a structured complaint resolution process means that eBay bidders have more protection than most credit card holders when it comes to one of the most popular online shopping sites.


6. The iPhone App: The PayPal iPhone application makes it easy to shop online and transfer money wherever you are. All you have to do is visit the Apple iTunes store and search for the PayPal app and you will be ready to transfer, send money, pay bills, review your transaction history, and make purchases right from the palm of your hand. Because PayPal will ask you to confirm transactions with a PIN, you can rest assured that your finances are safe should your iPhone be lost or stolen. If you meet someone you need to pay while out on the town, just bump iPhones and make your transfer.


7. Flexibility: Relieve yourself of the embarrassment and hassle of trying to purchase goods and services online only to have your credit card declined. Because you can set up multiple bank accounts, debit cards, and credit cards to fund your PayPal account, you can rest assured that your PayPal purchases always go through the first time. PayPal will then look for funds from your sources based on the order you define.


8. Paying For Goods And Services: Paypal allow you to pay for any goods and services online no matter the country or part of the world. For instance, bloggers can easily pay for domain and hosting services from any website with a paypal account. The same goes with funding Swisscoin E-wallet and other online transactions
