Hi guys, I'm one of those who run www.likechapaa.com and I want to just make it clear that this article: <file:///E:/Thrashing%20Out%20Issues.doc> http://likechapaa.com/2010/07/how-to-use-paypal-in-kenya/ was written by one of our writers narrating her *personal* experience. She wrote a "part 2" in which she clearly says that PayPal does not actually work in Kenya. You cannot receive money while in Kenya. Here is the "part 2": http://likechapaa.com/2010/08/how-to-use-paypal-in-kenya-part-2/ Please try: AlertPay, Google Checkout or even MoneyBookers Warm regards to everyone Kelvin www.likechapaa.com <http://www.dukapress.com>www.dukapress.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We help make your website a success. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 1:55 PM, Brian Munyao Longwe <blongwe@gmail.com>wrote:
Thanks for the heads up David and Okech - the blogger also did a piece http://likechapaa.com/2009/07/receiving-online-payments-in-kenya/ where she outlines a few other options including 2co.

@Brian, I have been on the e-commerce industry in Kenya and I have all facts on my fingertips. Paypal is working closely with a bank in Kenya and by mid next year we might see something. For now, try other options.

You're right guys - so it looks like 2co is the best option.

@Brian, If you read the comments on the page, she goes on to say that she tried it and cannot withdraw - seems like she never corrected the post to reflect that you CANNOT withdraw the money
