How to receive money from Paypal in Nepal?

First thing first, how do we even get a Paypal account? Reach out to your friends and relatives who reside abroad in those countries where Paypal works very fine. Ask them to create an account for you under their name and verify it.

Please make sure you have a verified Paypal account and everything should work fine for you. Don’t follow the other unwanted ways to verify the account or you may end up losing your hard earned money as well as the account.

How to withdraw money from Paypal?

Your Paypal account has to be linked with a bank account (your friend’s or relatives’ bank account under whose the Paypal account is created). You can transfer your Paypal funds to the bank account, which takes normally 3-5 working days. Once the money makes it to the bank, you can have it sent to you via wire, IME, Western Union, etc.

Another alternative is to check with Nepali Internet Marketing groups on Facebook. There are people who are in need of funds on their Paypal accounts and will give you cash in exchange. Please take proper measures to stay away from the scammers. I am not associated with the any of the groups and I am not responsible for anything if you get scammed.
