Not eligible to receive payment

[HeritOla]

Please why is my PayPal account telling me I’m ineligible to receive payments? What’s then the essence of opening the account? Isn’t it to receive payments and pay out? Kindly respond.

Hi Chinmaye, Thank you for your prompt response. I already spoke with a customer support agent but I didn’t receive a satisfactory response. He just accepted fate and said because of my country I can’t receive payment. I believe there’s no use of me having the payola account then as I can’t use it to receive payment just because of the country I am in and nothing can be done about it, I’ll just have to delete the account and look for other platforms that’d suit me, since it’s of no use to me. But to be honest, I’m not happy about it at all, it frustrating to say the least.
