Has Paypal banned Ukrainian accounts

[jag]

Consider it a blessing in disguise. I hate that company with a passion.

Why you say that hon it is very simple to use and pay people with

If you're inside the US and only dealing in US currency it's fine. On the other hand, if you need to change currency, their exchange rates are ridiculous and they tend to sneak in hidden fees where ever possible. I've also had my account locked for no good reason on several occasions, despite being ID verified.

I try my best to avoid them these days and stick with Wise or Revolut wherever possible.

I live in Malta and use a Euro account with USD option, the FX fees paypal charge are so much less than other options. Where are you located?

Really? My paypal is linked to an australian account. I save way more money using wise, most other remote business owners tend to avoid paypal also.

One more hurdle for Ukrainian webmasters to handle during this tough time, ordinary people trying to make a living having to dodge missiles, bombs and try get paid.
You have to feel bad for anyone there right now.

So what payment options are available to Ukrainian programs and affiliates?

[fappmaster]

How long has Paypal not allowed Ukrainians to send payment for goods and services, this is news to me.

Born and always been an Angeleno. Are New Zealand and Australia very similar?

Nice! Have been there once, had a good time. Culturally, they virtually identical. Australia tends to be a bit more enticing for most due to better weather (debatable nowadays) and economic opportunities. NZ is good if you enjoy the quiet life and nature. You can still earn good money there, however, there is a big housing crisis at the moment which is driving a lot of talent off shore.

What reason did they give for "I've also had my account locked for no good reason on several occasions, despite being ID verified." were you in complaince with paypal's terms or were you skirting their rules?

Story 1

My account was originally registered in Aus, then I moved to Asia to become a digital nomad. I then removed cookies on my browser due to caching issues and Paypal asked me to verify using a phone number. They would not accept any other number except and Aus one, my Aus number was no longer working. I then rang their customer service and had to speak to three people before someone would listen and get me back in. Prior to this I had already sent them my passport, drivers license, bank statements.

Story 2

I once paid someone using paypal the exact amount of money they had told me to send. They then rejected the payment saying I had insufficient funds. I paid the person via wire instead. I then found out Pyapal had paid the person using their own funds and they started sending me debt collection letters. I got the double payment refunded by the recipient through Paypal. Paypal then exchange rate arbitraged the refund so I was down $50 for no reason.

I'm not saying it doesn't work for some people, but it's definitely not my preference for online payments.

I've hired a lot of talented devs and marketers out of their actually. They have a talented workforce and good work ethic. Perhaps history just hasn't gone their way, they are probably more resilient people than the average westerner.
