Because of all the 419 con artists. Urge the police to clamp down on them and then maybe--and it's a big maybe--Paypal will start to do business there.
I know. I was really disappointed but not surprised, last year when I wanted to buy a Mikrotik RouterOS license from a Mikrotik-authorized dealer I waited for days only to be told they will manually review my order so I should scan the physical card, attach an ID and the name on the card must march the name on the ID
On another instance, when I requested a withdrawal from one of the popular freelancing sites you've definitely heard of, I was told that I will have take of photo of myself holding my ID on one hand, and a given statement written on an A4 sheet on the other. This was something I found ridiculous and demeaning but I had to do as I had close to $2,000 for work done.
So it's not like some of us are excited about the situation but there isn't much me as an individual can do. thanks
