Please return to and choose another way to pay. Why I am getting this message ?

Hello,

I am based in Panama, I can use my paypal to pay to merchant like Carters, Airbnb, Levis but for others shops in the US like Banana Republic, Patagonia, I am getting this message: Please return to and choose another way to pay.

Why ? I would assume it is because I am not in the US ? but why I can pay to Carters and get delivered to my PO BOX in the US and for others shops it is not working ?

Thank you!

Some merchants may block PayPal accounts from outside their country to pay, block eChecks, block unconfirmed addresses, etc.

Thank you so much ! Can Paypal provide a merchant list accepting payment outside their country ?

Unfortunately, no. However the bigger retailers are more likely to accept int’l orders.

Hello @Mitchfrile,

Welcome to PayPal Community Forum and thank you for posting! Thanks, @sharpiemarker.
 

I understand your concern about the payment to the merchants. Yes, @sharpiemarker  is right. Not all merchants accept PayPal, you may use different payment method to process the payment. Unfortunately, we don't have a list of merchants that accepts PayPal.
