Paypal in Pakistan

Paypal

With the ever increasing popularity of e-commerce, everyone desires to take a bite into the sweet pie, and why not? But sadly Pakistanis are being left behind as Paypal, one of the most popular e-commerce networks has still to list Pakistan in its permittable countries for registering with the service. We are then forced to use alternate commerce systems which have slowly cropped up but to contest the monopoly and popularity of a trusted Paypal account still eludes us Pakistanis.

This issue bugs not only marketing companies, freelance developers but is also a major deterrent for bloggers who are unable to receive funds generated via the ad networks running on their blogs. I have been fortunate to have a full business account (as I was studying in the US for over three years) and was able to use this to generate donations for the Earthquake relief in Pakistan during our Donate a Dollar for Pakistan campaign at Help-Pakistan.com.

A very interesting article written by Faisal Khan CEO of Net Access where he discusses a potential collaboration with TCS, the largest courier company in Pakistan as a potential catalyst for the promotion of e-commerce in Pakistan.

I open this issue more to initiate a discussion as to what solutions are now available and even discuss a possible course of action which may be adopted to force the bureaucracy (Paypal & Govt of Pakistan) to help the people of Pakistan to tap into the wealth of resources available worldwide which will undoubtedly positively affect the economy in Pakistan. The Indian sector was successful in pushing through to an extent that people in India are able to get checks in the mail for any withdrawals. Why can’t we do the same, if not better?

    Yes it is a real dilemna. It isnt a small problem anymore and not having paypal has turned into a big problem.In India you can even withdraw from paypal to bank account here you cant even open paypal account. Its really sick and I dont think paypal will include us in near future cause they already added a lot of countries and they would have added us if we were not blacklisted by them. People here should forget about e commerce sorry but since paypal has 90% of e money market.

    Salam Everyone,

    I am very happy to see people going towards believing electronic transaction in Pakistan too. Since I was working for IBM, so I had a survey where only 0.01% Pakistani Businessman/Individuals wanted there money to be transacted this way. Now as paypal people dont care so why do we?.. I have a better solution. You can register at http://www.alertpay.com rather than paypal. It is having the same transaction modes as offered by paypal. And it supports Pakistan too. So son’t wait for the paypal to get started and register at AlertPay for not loosing your projects and future benefits.

    Best Regards,

    I have scanned through all the comments above. I am selling successfully an ebook via an affiliate networkd called click2sell.eu. I am accepting online by paypal. My business is running very successfully. Although my website is not so attractively designed, I am still making nice income online. Paypal should surely list Pakistan as soon as possible.

    Stop cyring guys!!

    We are selling Verified Premier PayPal Accounts that can be used from Pakistan aswell !!

    Only serious people should visit us on PaypalinPakistan.com

    PayPal in Pakistan: Your site is showing its root directory.. nothing showing up. Just launched or something?

    How can they be verified accounts in Pakistan when Paypal doesn’t have Pakistan in its list? Please be a bit more specific regarding what your site is offering. We need to be assured what you’re offering is legitimate.

  26. PayPal In Pakistan Avatar

    Thank you Adnan for your concern, the site is working.

    The accounts are verified manually from a PayPal allowed country like India, Bangladesh etc. And later can be used from anywhere around the world.

  27. Adnan Usman Avatar

    I believe that is not legitimate. Looking at your website, it makes no sense for me to invest Rs. 8500/- on an account I haven’t verified and is illegal. I am surprised you’d think this would work.. In this case, you do get a verified paypal verified in india, how will you transfer money there or recieve anything? how will you transfer it into a bank or using a credit card in Pakistan having an indian account and address? They’re not going to allow it, and even if it works for a while, the poor person who bought the account will end up losing all their money when they close their account for fraudulent purposes with Pakistan again coming into notice. You are the reason we are banned in the first place. Please, just stop doing things like this and causing everyone else problems.

    To everyone else: Best thing for anyone to do in this case is to wait for Paypal to allow Pakistan, which it is planning to do in 2009, hopefully, or use moneybookers or simply a credit card. Paypal is very expensive to tell you the truth and the best solution for us is to use the solution provided. We use both, I believe we have had ease with moneybookers being able to transfer the money easily to our accounts in Pakistan, instead of routing money through USA, which we have to using paypal, which is expensive and takes a long time.

  28. PayPal In Pakistan Avatar

    You’re right, you cannot withdraw funds from the Paypal account we provide, but you can easily send and recieve funds over the internet, purchase stuff and offer your own ecommerce services. For withdrawl, we offer the service to exchange your paypal funds and return them to your bank acconut anywhere in Pakistan for a fee of $5-10.

    For being legitimate, if a user from an allowed country uses his account in an unallowed country, does it get banned? NO! This works the same way.

    About the site, We could have put up a nice looking web 2.0 website, giving reviews etc and people will be ready to pay more than 8,500 PKR but we seriously mean business only.

    For those who want to wait for Paypal being launched in Pakistan (which will not happen as it requires a complete banking sector setup aswell, and you people know the banking structure of our country) can wait, other serious people can contact us on paypalinpakistan.com and we will satisfy you with every possibility.

    Once again, thank you Adnan for your queries and comments.

  29. Adnan Usman Avatar

    Hahaha.. I’m just going to let the rest of the people answer this one for you, I just seem to be making no sense to you, but i hope i do to them.

    Payoneer.com is good for accepting payments or paying online, but withdrawing in Pak Rupee is like loosing all earnings. I dont know how much CITI Bank charge for the withdrawal from their ATM, but its sure that it is too much.

    But again, Paypal due to its huge user-base in US/UK has its importance for freelancers and until & unless they open their operation in Pakistan, it will remain an issue.

  31. Kashif Azeem Avatar

    Clickbank and PayPal both have some serious policies issues with Pakistan (It seems to me) , But we (pakistanis) are not alone, Filpinos are also suffering because of their policies , but there must be a reason why clickbank and paypal end up not supporting Pakistan.

    About Clickbank: Its a site where you can buy sell things And its all about DIGITAL products (softwares , E-Books etc) , ClickBank has written in its policies that every seller should have give some money back period (60 days) so if customer is not satisfied with product he/she can return back. They also run affiliate programs where You are not buyer you are not seller You are ONE who is marketing seller products to BUYER and , Seller is giving Comission to you just because of that sell, CLICKBANK looks after transactions , trackings and stuff.

    Now ABout “PAKISTAN” Clickbank in earlier days was ok with PAKISTAN but as soon as they find Most of the refunds are coming from Pakistan and Sellers from Pakistan selling useless softwares with bugs/viruses etc, they decided to stop working with PAKISTANIS who living in Pakistan.

    Day before i was searching for Google namesis , and found wonderful stuff about namesis but it was so disapointing to know the fact I can’t use it just because I am living in PAKISTAN.

    I don’t know much about PayPal why its banned, if reason is “ISREAL” Then Believe me we don’t need paypal at all. It will take 1 min to know from where they belong. Just whois http://www.paypal.com and if they really situated in payPal! WHO Cares for them????? Alertpay seems ok .

    Now I can proudly announce that I am AlertPay member ๐Ÿ™‚ And It's very cool, I am very impressed with alertpay 's verification policy , they need both photo and address proof before they verify the account and make it work. For Photo Verification they need either NIC or Passport and 2 more options i dont remember :o) , for address proof they ask to upload either Phone/electricity bill or Credit card statment or Bank statement which should show your last name and address and it should match with their alertpay profile . And document shouldn't be older than 3 month. Per transaction they deduct 0.50 $ as fee . Which is quite reasonable. We can ask for checks which take not more than 2,3 days ( I guess) .. I am quite satisfied with AlertPay till yet, because it seems everywhere with PayPal now. I think now paypal will definatly think about adding PAKISTAN :o)

    I've suffered a lot because of all this "Not available in Pakistan" BS by PayPal. I've been thinking hard and I think there are some alternatives.

    1- I used to get all the money in my cousin's account who used to be in Canada and get it from his parents here in Pakistan since they had to send him money often. So if there's a relative / close friend living there, have your money sent to him/her and get it from his family over here.

    2- If you're doing deals which involve at-least $100+ , ask them a favor, Open up a $ bank account over here (which can be done easily) & let them transfer it. Yes, it does cost a small fee which will refrain your customer / buyer to do it this way but you can always negotiate. If you can manage it, ask them that you'll pay the charges involved in sending that money, they aren't much, $25 or so per transaction. So if it's (say) $500, it won't hurt if you can pay a little fee to get it in your account.

    3- I don't believe in services like moneybookers or lots of them mentioned above, I've read very bad reviews about MoneyBookers and it's rated 3/10. So don't go for it as far as my research goes.

    My conclusion is to try the above two methods, they do work.

    Hi I am Habib from Pak I want to give u a GOOD NEWS that PayPal will arrive in Pakistan before at the end of this year This was told me my bank representative which is working in Standard chartered bank he LISTENED by his high officials. I hope it will tru. Bcz so many people are saying if Paypal in not change their policies than it will be totally cut off from this region and others will grow up there business in this region like moneybookers, alertpay, mostly moneybookers and they will provide all the facilities like paypal. Than Paypal loose the big market in Asia.
    Now I am still praying that Paypal come soon in Pakistan and the other parts of the World where they are not available right now. Every one will have to pray for Paypal
    Thanks alot

  45. Faried Nawaz Avatar

    Sameer, the main draw of Paypal is the large network of people to send money to (or receive money from). Paypal's been around for a long time, and a lot of people trust them, despite their flaws.

    There are other transaction systems, but they have relatively few users.

    Rather then discussing alternatives to paypal, people must know the majority of clientele use paypal and this really rips u off if u don't have paypal coz payment's get stuck and u ultimately loose not just cash.

    Shameful paki's electing zardari and then next time InsAllah nawaz sharif will never learn a lesson to give vote to the right person even if he looses.

    Hopefully i'd be creating a bank account some where else to just get paypal.

    hello Adeel/EVERYONE

    Just wanted to let you know that there are these guys who can help you out with the PayPal issue. They offer verified paypal accounts for people in Pakistan and its been over 2 months that I'm using one of the PayPal they provided.

    I've been able to accumulate some $$ from DP by offering logo design service and then finally was able to cash out the funds through a friend in UK..

    Its working great for me and I can safely recommend them to anyone. Their website is http://www.PaypalInPakistan.com (they'r charging 8100PKR per account.. YEAH!)

    Thnx

    P.S. I'm not their affiliate or anything, just wanted to spread the word!

    I can teach you how to not only operate paypal with costs $8 every 3 months ( you will not pay me this money, it will be needed for something else to make paypal work )

    but also to withdraw paypal through a lot of ways without any need of a friend or relative abroad..

    If interested leave your msn or yahoo in comment, I will contact
