It is one of the world’s most used money transfer method. Despite this, it does not wok fully in all countries. PayPal has selected countries where people can withdraw to a local bank account or card and upload. Unfortunately, we are not in one of those countries where it functions fully.

The US bank account option is expensive, true, or cheap - very cheap, if you use an already established banking system. The basic principle behind this method is to join an online business system based in the US and use their platform to get paid. That platform will give you a payment method that you can further use with Paypal. It is legal, cheap and particularly for the system I recommend – it is free to start. It however is not free to actually get the debit card that you need. You can check out details one such platform on my two related posts here:

Hiya! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My weblog looks weird when viewing from my iphone. I'm
trying to find a template or plugin that might be
able to resolve this issue. If you have any recommendations,
please share. With thanks!
