Ok before you go off at me about we(South Africans) can not get a Paypal account. There are ways and means to get one if you really want one. Just going to take some time,effort and little bit of money. Please remember I did a bit of homework regarding this subject and came up with the best information I think that could help fellow South African Internet Marketers. If you happen to find some more information on the subject please post a comment and share this info with fellow internet marketers.

Also I found a petition that was created by South African Online Community by Amien Phillips. In this petition he urges everyone to make their voice heard about Paypal South Africa and making the account a full account. Well dunno if PayPal will even look at it but if you fill in your name who knows.

Now here is the way to do it properly. Firstly you will need to start a business or a US Corporation based in America. You ask how the hell do I do this? Well go check it out at the following myUScompany you fill out an online form pay them some money and you even get a free US bank account kit which means they give you everything you need to open a bank account in the US. You can even get your own mailing address in the US. They will also provide you with a voicemail number if you want to take calls in the US and it will be emailed to you, now that is cool hey. Basically once you sign up with them they take care of the rest. Yes of course they charge but you can do all of this via email so no need to DHL them stuff. They will ship you everything once it is done. I think better than that you will not get. Plus this information I am giving you was given to for free. I did not pay for it, only person I have to thank is Justin Harrison who provided this information so thanks Justin go check out his full article on Sending and Receiving International Payments

He also provides you with some links on opening bank accounts. So remember to invest in yourself first then you can invest.

Just to let you know once you have a US Bank account and mail address then you can open a Paypal account and send and receive money easily.

Let me know if this article was interesting. Next time I will speak about different online payments gateways.
