I do not deposit cash into the account but make my purchases using my Visa card. One of my purchases, the seller quoted me too much for shipping, and when she realized her mistake, she tried to credit me back $3USD (about R24). PayPal refused to accept the credit! She ended up sending me some extra product to make up for the overcharge. When I lived in the States and was preparing to move here, I sold nearly the entire contents of my house (except furniture) over eBay, so I am an experienced eBay seller as well. PayPal sucks as a way to receive money, they have one fee after another and on small sales, you can actually end up with a loss (as opposed to profit) after you have paid all the eBay listing fees and then all the PayPal fees (and PayPal is owned by eBay). I am almost ashamed to admit that these greedy hounds reside in the same town I used to live in! Terri: a MasterCard is a MasterCard. My Visa card is from NedBank and it works on the site just fine. Also, their policies are not directed at South Africans, per se. I am an American and I am hog-tied just as badly as you are. Does anyone have any idea if PayPal plans to enfranchise us? Or are we permanently blacklisted and all our angst is no more than beating a dead horse? I have a PayPal account and use it regularly to make eBay purchases.

Now if someone overseas sends you US$ to your PayPal account, does this money accumalate in your PayPal account or does it not, because you are South African, because if it does accumalate into your PayPal account then you have to find a way to get it to your South African bank account. Also PayPal offers a credit card (MasterCard) has anyone in SA have one of these, I know that this card is accepted everywhere where MaterCard is accepted. Reply to mcsd@ananzi.co.za Thanks Hi all, please help me understand something about Paypal

The person I need to pay ONLY accepts monies through Paypal and no other. Please guide me through opening a Paypal account from SA where I can transfer from my SA account into Paypal to pay in US Dollars.
