How to Use PayPal in South Africa WITHOUT an FNB Bank Account

[@WanderlustmovementOrg]

If you are still having problems please contact FNB PAYPAL division. I don't work for these companies and don't know what every error code means or how to fix it. Contacting me won't solve your problem. You'll get a much quicker response by going through the support desk. Here are the details: For FNB PayPal queries please contact us on 087 572 9725 and select option 1 or email: [e-mail] . For specific PayPal account queries, rates or to speak directly with PayPal, please contact 087 572 9725 and select option 2 or visit www.paypal.com

[@WanderlustmovementOrg]

Also there is an alarming amount of people contacting me wanting to send me money via PayPal and then wanting me to EFT it to them. Don't send your money to strangers on the internet people. That is NEVER a good idea. You're going to get scammed one day and cry. Just because you've watched someone on KZbin doesn't mean you can trust them not to run away with your money.

Yes you can! You need the business account if you want to accept payment via your website for example. But if you just have clients sending you money directly, personal is totally fine! It's what I used in the beginning before I needed the extra business features.

If you want people to make payments to you via your website, you'll need a business account to enable those features. If people are sending you money directly to your PayPal account, personal is perfect. It really depends if you need the PayPal business features or not :) And you easily switch between the two.
