Paypal and Kenyan Cards

Hi all I just saw a tweet from whiteafrican ( whom I presume is on this forum) who has just confirmed via personal test that Paypal is now supporting ALL Visa Electron Debit cards issued in Kenya. Is that the case. I want to run some tests with my DTB card to buy a digital download and see if it works. Kevin

That was Kahenya that confirmed it actually. Erik Hersman www.AfriGadget.com www.WhiteAfrican.com On Dec 1, 2009, at 1:48 AM, Kevin Ouma wrote:

I tried with my card, though I could see that Paypal had connected to my Equity Account. The account could't be verified by paypal. Sijui kwanini. Ill give it a try again and see if anythig has changed.

Previously, Equity had issues with paypal but now that is all sorted. Another development, you can now receive funds into your local paypal account. David. On Tue, Dec 1, 2009 at 10:15 AM, Clement Ongera <cnongera@gmail.com> wrote:

Oh really, I didnt know when they started letting people deposit money, they used to say "No deposits to Kenya" like 3 weeks ago. They must have implemented that like 2 weeks ago after discovering moneybookers will pin them down. On Tue, Dec 1, 2009 at 12:41 PM, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:

hi has any one confirmed that you can receive money into your Kenyan account?

Hi, For some funny reason, I cant now. I received $250 dollars from a US paypal account and recently when I asked someone to pay me, it said that Kenyan accounts cant receive money. David. On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 12:02 PM, amanya <whynnot@gmail.com> wrote:
