Paypal Ghana

The Issue

Dear Paypal,

Ghana is a great country with great people. I am trying to understand why Ghana is not listed on your great payment system. Paypal has become a standard mode of payment across the web and most mobile apps. Leaving Ghana out makes us not able to transact with the rest of the world.

Ghana isn't even listed in the top 20 Fraudulent countries in the world.

The fashion industry in Ghana, for example, is growing rapidly. The industry needs Paypal to be able to accept payment online.

Sites like eBay, B&H, Amazon, and many others all accept paypal. 

Anytime I need to make payment, I have to transfer funds from my Ghana account to my Bank of America account in the US before I can pay for an item on eBay.

This process can take a while to complete. (the other time a seller reported nonpayment because my payment delayed)

We are pleading with paypal to test Ghana to see how we will do. 

This will help our business and also change our lifestyle.

Thank you
