Can we get PayPal in Sri Lanka


First of all it's better to have an idea about PayPal. So the first question which is coming to everyone's mind is what this PayPal is...?
  • What is PayPal?

PayPal, the trusted leader in online payments, enables buyers and businesses to send and receive money online. PayPal has over 100 million member accounts in 190 countries and regions. It's accepted by merchants everywhere, both on and off eBay.

When you signup for PayPal account, you can start accepting credit card payments instantly. IT is the world's number one online payment service.

"Other thing is it helps to receive our Adsense money very quickly and I know people like Google Adsense very well... :) :)"

As we are in cutting edge technology, Online transaction are booming every where and it becomes very popular because it is the safest way of doing transaction and people can pay and receives money online in a second and its only a finger tips distance .

PayPal transactions are accepted in most of the websites,well know eBay and lots of money making sites. Therefore without PayPal is like totally "Sucked'.
  • PayPal in Sri Lanka..................?
So the next question is Do Sri Lankans have PayPal...???

It a big sad -"NO"- for Sri Lankan as no PayPal in Sri lanka
As an emerging destination we should have that facility to do international transactions .unfortunately the responsible people didn't take any action yet!

With the boost of Internet usage and the other technologies make big opportunities to open unlimited online business and some good business like free lance writing, research, 3rd party research, report writing and outsourcing etc are sucked for Sri lankans! without having online transactions like PayPal.
In last year June there was a fake message was gone every where by telling that PayPal service was granted for Sri Lankan people.

But unfortunately it was only a gossip.....and only thing that sri Lankans can do is open an account and send money through PayPal. the funny thing is as a Sri Lankan we cant receive money. But our next door neighbor India can send and receive money. From the time you registered as Sri Lankan members we can only do is send money and.... watching other people doing transactions.

So lets hope that we will have PayPal in Sri Lanka very soon
