HOW TO CREATE A PAYPAL ACCOUNT IN NIGERIA

Hello naijabanger readers, Good News to users from Nigeria, Zimbawe etc ! Now they can use PayPal on naijabanger. To be a verified PayPal user in these countries please read below:

Having a verified PayPal account means that you have provided PayPal additional information to prove your identity. Verifying your account also removes account limits and enables you to make payments to millions of sites worldwide.





See the following steps on how to register for and verify your Paypal Account from Nigeria and other new countries.

Before your proceed, have the following information handy to ensure a seamless registration and activation:

Your Nigerian Credit or Debit Card. It must have either the Visa or MasterCard Logo. (If you have an ATM Card from any Nigerian Bank with the said Logo, then you have a debit card. Verve Cards would not work
Full Billing Address as appears on your Credit/Debit Card.
An Email Address


Step 1: Getting a Paypal Account

Visit http://www.paypal.com/ng and click signup for an Individual Account. Make sure that Nigeria is listed as your country on the signup page. Make sure you choose to not link your card at this point of the process. You will receive a registration confirmation email from Paypal that looks like the following image.

Click the “View Limits” link. This is located in the Overview section of your My Account page. This will take you to a page that will show your current sending limits. Adding a card will remove your limits.

Click “Link a card”. This will take you to the “Add credit or debit card” page. Use the form to enter in your credit or debit card information. Make sure to enter the correct billing information. 
Click the “Add Card” button. All things being well, You card would be charged for a little fee by paypal and on your bank alert, you would see a unique code that you would need to confirm your card.

If you have issues adding your card as many Nigerian users have been experiencing, you have 2 options to resolve it as follows:

Dial Paypal on +14029357733 and make sure you have your email address and the first 6 digits of you Credit/Debit Card handy
Follow @AskPayPal on twitter (i used the option) and send them a tweet. 

They would follow you back and ask you to send them a DM with your email address and the first 6 digits of your card. They would take a few minutes and revert asking you to try it again

When you try it again, it should work without any issues. If you succeed with this, click the“Confirm My Debit/Credit Card” Link again to have Paypal post the small charge to your card and proceed with the confirmation. Refer to the images below:
