Recently, this was noticed by few individuals who seems worried about the limitation PayPal placed on Nigeria account. ALL NAIJA ENTERTAINMENT therefore gathers that; Nigeria PayPal users finally realized that they can now create an account that sends and transfers funds.

This is very good development to the business and tech community in Nigeria. Before now, it was totally impossible to get a PayPal in Nigeria. As at 2010, Nigeria was still blacklisted or banned from having a PayPal account.

In 2014, PayPal announced that Nigerians can open PayPal account with a serious limitation. This type of account can only be used to buy things online or send payments to other PayPal accounts.

With this limitation, this type of PayPal was totally useless to bloggers like me as well as other freelancers and eCommerce merchants in Nigeria.

Because of this, smart business people like me resorted to using USA PayPal account and Payoneer to receive payments from foreign companies. Ofcourse we still found a way to make money online.

And now, everything has changed as PayPal has officially accepted Nigerian Businesses to use their online payment services for transactions.

Nigerian businesses owners cam now take advantage of this development to improve on productivity and sales in their businesses.

Bloggers can now use PayPal to accept payments from advertisers or sponsored posts publishers, Freelancers can now use PayPal to receive payments from their clients and customers.

This means that if you are a legitimate business owner in Nigeria, you can accept PayPal payment on your business website as well as your business partners and customers.

I will update this part of the article later today. Kindly check back later…

Meanwhile if you are a U.S. PayPal account holder. You now have the chance to earn up to $100 by referring people to PayPal.

The PayPal referral program is available for anyone who has a U.S. PayPal account in good standing. If this sounds like you, let’s go ahead & learn how you can earn up to $100 by inviting others to join PayPal.

You should also note that the users who are joining on your invitation will also be getting $5when they open a U.S. PayPal account & complete an eligible transaction within 14 days of signing up.

An “eligible transaction” means an online checkout payment of at least $5 USD which gets marked as “complete” in the referee’s account and which has not been canceled, refunded, or reversed by either the referee or the seller.

Before I add more, let me show you how to get your PayPal referral link.

How to get your PayPal referral link:

As I mentioned above, this option is available for anyone who has a U.S. PayPal account in good standing. To get your referral link, use the PayPal mobile app. If you haven’t started using it yet, simply download the app by searching for it in the Google Play store or the iOS App store.

Steps for PayPal app:

Log in to the PayPayl mobile app.
Click on the gear icon at the top right (settings button).
Click on “Invite a friend and get $5”.
Click on “Share an invite” or “Choose contacts” if you want to directly invite a contact from your phone.

If you need your referral link for posting on a blog or message board, click on “Share an invite” & select your email. Send an email to yourself & you will have your personal PayPal referral link.

I have tested & verified this on my U.S. PayPal account & it works seamlessly.

Here are a few fine points about the PayPal affiliate program:

You can earn maximum of $100.
Only allowed to send to personal contacts.
Not allowed to post publically where people who are not personal contacts can see it.
Here are the complete terms.

If you post your referral link on any third party website, such as a social media website, you must also comply with that website’s terms of use.

Please note that whenever you decide to share your referral link, you must tell your referees that you will receive a commission from PayPal if they sign up and complete an eligible transaction. Failure to disclose this information is a violation of the terms and could result in PayPal disqualifying you from the program, and may result in you forfeiting any rewards you would otherwise have earned through the program.

Again, this is for people who are operating within U.S. boundaries. I hope in upcoming days, PayPal allows users outside the U.S.A to reap the benefits of their affiliate program as well. Until then, it’s a good time for U.S. PayPal users to get a chance to earn up to $100 by recommending other users.
