Paypal in pakistan, A sheer disappointment!


Pakistan is one of the prominent outsourcing destination in Asia, according to the report of “Kearneys” an internationally acclaimed global consulting firm, Pakistan is the 20th favorite outsourcing hub in the word. I believe this is not enough, In Pakistan, there is large no of people with advance skills in IT & other specialized sector. there is still a big room of improvement as India & china, our neighboring countries continuously dominates as the top offshore destinations in the world. Yes! i agree they are larger then Pakistan with huge pool of resource people but the question is why are we behind in the list from the countries like Indonesia, Bulgaria & Sri Lanka??

E commerce became the source of living for most of the IT professionals, but in Pakistan when the young entrepreneurs steps forward to make their career in e-commerce, they find it difficult to manage their payments & receiving on the internet. it is hard to reveal that PayPal one of the leading source to send or receive money on the internet didn’t authorized Pakistan to avail there services. So this means that a large no of freelancers & IT professionals cant be able to get the benefit of online job portals like odesk, elance & many others.

PayPal in Pakistan became a dilemma now. Its been 11 years since paypal started their services & now they have reached 190 countries but yet Pakistan is not in the list, So the result is most of the people here get in the hassle to ask their relatives & friends from the PayPal supported country to send or receive their online payments. You know people in Malta & Uganda can send & receive payments online using PayPal but not the people of Pakistan. I don’t know the reason why PayPal is ignoring the growing entrepreneurs & online merchants of Pakistan, they are loosing a good revenue that they can make if started their services in Pakistan. I don’t want to extent this debate with unjustified remarks that people make about why PayPal is not available in Pakistan. but hope that we will see PayPal soon in our country.

    One reason Paypal gives is that Pakistan does not has clear and detailed rules regarding e-commerce, electronic transactions and associated risks such as any sort of fraudulent activities taking place in the internet realm.
    Xoom used to allow transactions to Pakistan but had suspended the services; not sure if they have re-started the services.
    Moneygram, western union and wire transfer are some other (less preferred but possible) options.

    I am not sure, but I think its possible to open up a Paypal account by first opening a bank account in a country where Paypal works. Switzerland might be one such option… But of course not everyone can go all the way to Switzerland just for the sake of Paypal…

    Paypal is nothing but a pile of shit run by a bunch of scum bags and Jewish SOBs.. I’ve been using it for the last 5 years and they would look for every possible way to hold your money so they can earn some interest..Search Google for more horror stories of paypal. You might consider 2CO as it is available in Pakistan and good thing about them is that your payment gets wired directly to your bank account. They even accept paypal payment so you can have your clients pay you via 2CO > Paypal.. 2CO will accept payment in their paypal on your behalf and will add it to your 2CO account.

    PLEASE STOP TRYING TO FIND-OUT HOW YOU CAN OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH PAYPAL!

    YOU CAN NOT! YES THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH THEM FROM PAYPAL.

    BUT YOU CAN USE THIRD PARTIES THAT CAN DO THIS TASK FOR YOU.
