7 Steps to Get a Verified PayPal Account In Unsupported Countries.

PayPal is an industry standard for online money transactions. Due to the unavailability of the great service in Pakistan, it was such a hindrance for us to accept payments from clients and various advertisers.

It was so hard to reject those tempting offers, just due to the non availability of a reputable online transaction service that could act as a bridge to accept payments.

Kindly Note:We can no longer make a Paypal account in ‘Unsupported Countries’. I explained that in this entire post. Why Can’t We Make Paypal Account In Pakistan Anymore? [Unsupported Countries]
The only thing that kept me pulling back from verifying PayPal via Payoneer debit card was the legitimacy of the process. I doubted if it worked.

And trust me, it’s smooth as silk.

What is PayPal?

PayPal lets you accept or transfer payments online world wide. As its an industry standard, most of the advertisers are comfortable with the service and gives it priority over other services.

paypal

Is Your Country supported?

Here is the list where by you can check if your country is supported in PayPal system.

paypal unsupported countries

What’s the problem with ‘PayPay Verification Process’ anyway?

The thing is, PayPal isn’t avail able in the entire world. They have a set of countries that are unsupported. Once you try making an account at PayPal.com, you would notice that a bunch of countries aren’t listed there.

That’s the deal.

Why Verify PayPal Account?

 If you go ahead and apply for PayPal account with any other countries name, you would notice that you would be able to make an account. Though this account would be ‘unverified’.

UN-verified PayPal accounts hinder you in few of these ways:

1- Though you can accept payments online (From your sponsors etc by giving away your PayPal ID, i.e your PayPal email address), though you would not be able to withdraw your money from your account.

That is you would never be able to see your hard earned money in your hand. Though you can always use your amounts online.

You can buy a domain online with your unverified PayPal account or order a mac book.

2- Unverified Paypal accounts are restricted to 500$ amount of transactions per month. So you cant make payments more than 500$ online in a month. Once the month ends, you can again use 500$ more anywhere online.

So to pull aside 500$ limit and to be able to withdraw your hard earned money in real life, you need to verify the account.

Hope that clears up the entire cloud of confusions.


What is Payoneer Debit Card?

Payoneer is a great service that provides a debit card service (MasterCard) that is accepted world wide and is also one of the most popular debit card services around.

We would use this debit card to verify our PayPal account.


So How to Get Verified PayPal Account?

There are few simple steps that are involved in the process. These are all the steps that i followed and indeed they worked gracefully.

Step 1: Apply for PayPal Account (Will explain in a bit)
Step 2: Apply for Payoneer Debit card
Step 3: Get Payoneer Approval & Receive debit card
Step 4: Apply for Us Payment Service
Step 5: Enter US Bank Details In PayPal (All is explained later in the post)
Step 6: Make Your First Withdrawal
Step 7:Verify PayPal
Step 8: Enjoy and Pray for me 🙂


Step #1 Apply for PayPal Account

Go to PayPal.com and create an account. Enter your name and all the necessary fields. For Address, search for sample address of US. You can easily get that by search Google. There are tons of address that you can enter in the fields below.

Note that we’re creating this PayPal account via US (United States). You can use another verified country, though this is how it works perfectly.

create paypal account

Now when asked for Phone number, do the same and search for sample US telephone numbers. Once done, simply hit ‘Agree and Create Account’ button.

Now you would be taken to the PayPal main menu/dashboard. You would notice that in the status bar it mentions that the account is ‘Unverified’.

Once you would complete the entire process, this would turn up to ‘verified’.

Step #2 Apply for Payoneer Debit Card

Go to Get Payoneer Debit Card and signup. Fill in all the details. Once done, you would then be asked to verify your Payoneer account. They do that before shipping you the card its self for your verification.

Payoneer-Prepaid-MasterCard

You would get an email for verification that would lay down the details of how you can verify your account. Most likely they would ask you to upload your ID Card (scanned, or a picture front/back), or a drivers license, passport etc. Any of these would work.

I simply took pictures of the National ID card with my mobile and uploaded the pictures and it worked. (they would tell you the place to upload the document. So there is nothing much to worry)

Step #3 Get Approval

In 3-4 days you would get the email that your Payoneer account has been verified and that they would ship your card to your home (the address that you would give while making the payoneer account).

payoneer approval.jpg

So do give the right information while filling up the Payoneer form. Specially the card holder name. Make sure that it is same as on your National ID card.


 Step #4 Apply for US Payment Service

Us payment Service is a service by Payoneer where by they allow their card holders to get a portion of their US Bank Account.

Basically, to get the PayPal account and get it verified, you require a US bank account. As you dont have that obviously, you would get that via Payoneer US Payment Service.



us payment service

It is actually like a virtual account. Though you don’t have the account in reality, Payoneer allocates you (Payoneer Card Holder) a portion of their bank account in US. ( Payoneer have an account in ‘First Century Bank’ in US.)

So once, you’re approved as a card holder in Step#4, you would get an email to apply for US Payment Service if you’re interested in receiving money from Companies like PayPal, Amazon etc.

You would simply have to fill in a question are that would require you to answer some simple questions.

Once done, you would submit that form and wait for another 3-4 days. You would than again get an email that your US Payment Service is approved. Your US Bank account details would be emailed to you. ( virtual bank account details).

These details include ‘Bank Account#, and ‘Security code’. So by now,  you would have your own virtual bank account (via Payoneer US Payment Service) that you would enter into PayPal bank account verification system to get verified.

So your Payoneer card would represent your First Century Bank account. Every transaction that would be made in your virtual account would be seen in your Payoneer account.

Step #5 Make Your First Withdrawal.

Sign into your PayPal account and withdraw around 4-5$ into your bank account. (your virtual First Century bank account). PayPal would ask you to enter your bank account details. This is where you would enter the details sent by Payoneer in the email.

PayPal would then validate your bank account (takes 2-3 seconds) and would transfer the amounts. You would then able to see these ‘2 transaction’ into your Payoneer transaction list with in 1-2 days. These transactions would be less than a $. (e.g 0.03 and 0.15).

paypal-withdraw-procees

These would just be made to test if you have the control over your bank account. You would then have to login to your PayPal account again and hit ‘verify bank account’ link on the right side bar.

Then simply enter these 2 amounts that you checked in your Payoneer transaction list. Thats all. It would verify your bank account and thats all! Wolaa!

You now have your very own PayPal verified account.

Step #6 Withdraw all the money that you want

Now simply transfer your PayPal amounts into your bank account (that is your Payoneer card) and use it anywhere in the world MasterCard supported ATMs.

master card atms

In Pakistan, Standard Chartered bank accepts MasterCard.



NOTE: Never enter your Payoneer Card into ATM if it has no amount loaded in it. ATMs would most probably eat up your card. Make sure you load it before using it for withdrawal at ATMs.

Disclaimer: Please note that this way of approving your PayPal account is not very recommended as it involves quite a bit of risk. Your account might get terminated.

Please remember that the use of false information is a violation of the PayPal User Agreement. Violation of the agreement can lead to limitation and/or account closure for all parties involved.

Conclusion

Being in country that does not support Paypal does not mean that you can use there services. Paypal is beautiful thing that lets you make payments and receive payments online hustle free.

After reading this article, you now know the what you need to do if it is not available in your country. That’s how to get a PayPal account in unsupported country.

Samsung To Launch Galaxy Fold In Kenya

Samsung is gearing up to launch the Galaxy fold in the Kenya market in the coming few days. However it important to note that the phone has in the past been dogged by issues after it failed to live up to its expectations.

This led to the initial (which was to be done in September) launch to be pushed ahead. Now we now know that the phone is now ready for the Kenyan Market.

This was reveled in a tweet that the company teased as an ‘engineering marvel’ that we should await.

According to a tweet by Samsung Kenya, the new marvel is coming and its only six days. Here is the tweet.

A whole new experience awaits. 6 days to an engineering marvel … pic.twitter.com/S7aIR9fN81

— Samsung Mobile Kenya (@SamsungMobileKE) November 8, 2019

The Samsung Galaxy Fold is quoted at Ksh. 202 980.00 and this is the price it is expected to sell for when caused in Kenya. This makes it a very expensive phone that only a few can afford.

But there are those of us who are looking for such devices and will buy them at their launch. In just 5 days, the phone will be here in the Kenyan Market and we await its launch.

As we await this with a breath, we can hope that the company has finally fixed the issues that in the past have dodged the fold .

We will be updating you on any new developments as they unfold.

Infinix Hot 8 and Hot 8 Lite Now Available in Kenya

Infinix Hot 8 and Infinix Hot 8 Lite is the Infinix’s latest phone in the Kenyan market, here are the full specifications and price in Kenya.

You may not be aware but the phone is finally here in Kenya after being in the global market for over a month now after the announcement.

The past week has seen phone manufactures introducing new gadget into the Kenyan market. It is just yesterday that I broke the news of the Huawei P30 Lite New edition being available in the Kenyan market.

READ ALSO:

I just bought one to bring you the first impression. Here is what I found out from the two phones. The Infinix hot 8 comes in two variants, The standard variant (Hot 8) and the Lite variant (the Hot 8 Lite).

So what is the difference?  

While the standard variant features the 4G network, the Lite variant does not. It also misses on the triple camera arrangement found at the back of the phone.

Infinix phones are known for their huge batteries and both the ‘Standard’ and ‘Lite’ variants of these phones pack a 5000mAh battery. The other similarity is that they both come in 6.6-inch display.

But is that all? No, the other difference as you can expect is the pricing. While the Lite goes on sale at Ksh9, 999.00, the standard version costs Ksh. 10999.00. See Jumia

How to Make Money on Fiverr Using Your Blog

What to know how to make money on Fiverr? The dream of every blogger is to earn enough money from writing to be able to quit that boring day job. Writers are people that enjoy freedom, flexibility, and inspiring others. Often time, we work to survive, and view writing as a fun hobby. But what if you could survive by quitting your day job and writing full time?



As Marsden Maisha has mentions frequently on this blog, it takes a lot of work to grow your audience and start making money with your blog – but it is possible. And for many, it is worth it.

Although using AdSense and selling advertisements directly from your website are useful ways to make some extra money, if you aren’t using Fiverr, you are missing out on a valuable source of income.


What is Fiverr.com?

Fiverr is a website where people can buy and sell services starting at $5 (with Fiverr taking $1). Services on Fiverr include logo design, article writing, modeling, and just about anything else that you can imagine.

If you need help installing WordPress, or if you want someone to sing “Happy Birthday” to your brother, you can find someone willing to do it on Fiverr for $5.

For bloggers, Fiverr is an invaluable tool. Firstly, it is a great place to find design, writing, and marketing assistance that will help grow your own website.

Secondly, it’s a valuable source of extra income. Especially for a smaller blog without much recognition, Fiverr gives you several valuable ways to increase your earnings.

How Fiverr Can Help Bloggers Make Money

Selling on Fiverr starts at $5, but can up to over $100. If people enjoy buying your services, it won’t be long before you can charge a lot – and people will be willing to pay it.

Here are several ways that you can earn a significant amount of money from Fiverr.

1. Sell advertising on your blog

Start by offering a three sentence advertisement with a link at the bottom of an article for $5. Then, you can charge more to include a logo or video with the advertisement.

It is a good idea to only include advertisements that your readers will be at least a little bit interested in. You never want to spam your readers. Also, if the advertiser gets a lot of readers from your website, they may order again.

2. Sell guest posts on your blog

Many businesses struggle to get their content in front of their audience. If you have a group of readers that a business is interested in, you can charge them $5 to submit a relevant article with a link to their business at the bottom for $5.

If they would like you to write the article, you can charge an extra $10-$20. Content marketing is the way most advertising is going now – if you provide companies with a useful way to do this, they will reward you for it.

3. Do product reviews on your blog

If your blog is related to a specific product, service, or niche, you can make a lot of money doing reviews for products – both with blog posts and with YouTube videos.

For $5, agree to review a product that a company sends to you to keep. For $20 more dollars you will return the product back.

I know several fitness bloggers who receive workout supplements and equipment for free – with the businesses hoping that the blogger will write about their product.

4. Run giveaways on your blog

Everyone likes being a winner. It is common knowledge that people are much more likely to sign up for a newsletter or following someone on social networks, if they either receive something free, or if they have a chance of winning a prize.

Using a free service like rafflecopter.com, you can easily run sweepstakes from your website. If you run a giveaway for a company for $5, not only does it help them, but you can increase your number of followers as well. This without a doubt is my favorite way of making money on Fiverr.

5. Share your following

The famous marketing guru, Seth Godin, says that we live in the “connector age” – where the most valuable commodity is having people that will listen to you.

If you have a large following on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or any other social network, people will pay you to mention their business. For $5, you can agree to tweet out a message once.

For $10, you will write the tweet yourself – making it sound more authentic. It’s amazing how many people make money sending out tweets.

Become a Full-Time Blogger

Although selling on Fiverr may require more work than inserting Google Adsense, the immediate payoff is higher. If you want blogging to become your full time job, Fiverr is a good way to help make that happen.

Guardian Angel Online Booking And Contacts

Here is how Guardian Angel Online booking is done. However, before we can look how booking is done, I just wanted to answer some quick questions that are often asked on this website.

What is Guardian Angel?

Guardian angel is a bus company that plies on routes to Western Kenya. Guardian Angel is a household name especially to residents of South Nyanza, especially Kisii, Migori and Homabay Regions.  

What you may not know is that Guardian Angel traces its roots from Nyamira Express, another well know bus on the Nairobi Kisii route. In fact, Guardian Angel is the property of the late Ong’era Moturi, a powerful business and political mogul of the Kisii region who also owned the Nyamira Bus Company.

On which Routes does the bus operate?

As I noted earlier, the bus operates from Nairobi to Western Kenya, especially the South Nyanza Region. Here are the popular destinations the bus operates to.

  • Kisii
  • Kisumu
  • Ugunja
  • Maseno
  • Bondo
  • Nyamira
  • Migori
  • Mbale
  • Kericho
  • Kakamega
  • Rongo
  • Eldoret
  • Webuye
  • Bungoma
  • Oyugis
  • Awendo
  • Sotik
  • Busia
  • Narok
  • Sirare
  • Bumala
  • Siaya
  • Homabay
  • Keroka

Where are their offices located?

The bus Company has offices in Nairobi at Railway Station next to Easy Coach. Besides this one, there are other branch offices at all the destinations listed above.

Guardian Angel Online booking, how it is done.

Online booking has made things very easy for travelers. Gone are the days you were required to present yourself physically at a particular booking station.

Today it is common to see people carrying ‘print yourself tickets’ as they board buses to their destinations.

How is this done?

Now on your internet enabled phone or computer, open this link that will take you to the Guardian Angel Bus Online Booking platform.

If you do this right, it should take you here. See the image below.

Guardian Angel Online Booking

Now you just need to begin searching for the bus to your destination. Now let us say you are traveling to Bungoma from Nairobi.

Enter Nairobi in the ‘From’ search button already present ‘e.g. Nairobi’, then enter Bungoma in the ‘to’ search button. Lastly enter your desired date of travel. If you happy with the information you have keyed in, hit the ‘Search’ Button.

If all goes well, you will find yourself here.

angel

As you can see, if the image shows an outline of the bus. The amber (yellow) seats are yet to be booked. Those that are in white are already booked.

Now select a seat (note that you can select as many seats as possible depending on how many of you are traveling). If a seat is selected, it turns green. See image below. As you can already see, I have selected three seats.

Select Seats

As seats are selected, the page to the right is populated with the seats selected, the class you are booking, the fare for each seat and finally the total fare.

If you think you are good to go, scroll down the page and fill in the customer details as shown below.

Fill in all your details as required. If satisfied, hit the ‘proceed to payment’ button. This takes you to a page that looks this way.

Seats

If you scroll down you will find this section that show you how to pay. See image below.

Mpesa payment

The only two things you need to do now is pay via Mpesa, and fill in the required information. If done, hit the ‘Submit Booking’ button.

That is it. You are now booked to your destination.

Guardian Angel online booking, an easier way to do it.

I noticed that if use the method above, sometimes the system does not populate the expected results. To save time and frustrations, one you get to the portal, just scroll to the bottom and you will find a list of available buses.

Does Guardian Angel offer advance booking? I cannot tell for sure. When I tried booking, I never got a result that allows you to book more than a day in advance. Seemingly, you can only book in advance on the D-day of travel.

Fares

Fares range from between Ksh. 800 to Ksh.2000 depending on the season.

Parcel Services

This bus company also offers parcel services to destinations it plies to. Usually the cost is per Kilogram. I am still looking for their price chart on this.

Conclusion

If you looking to travel with Guardian Angel Bus, you may need to hear this. One, they have no scheduled timetable, the buses only leave once its full, not even once have I seen it leave on time.

Second, unlike Easy Coach whose prices are always the same regardless of the season, this company charges depending on the season. During high seasons such as the December holidays, fares sky rocket to the roof.

Third, this bus company may be called Guardian Angel, but do not expect any angel on board, just like many other bus companies in Kenya, the crew may be difficult to handle.

Here is a comment found.

“The last time I travelled by this bus I was greatly disappointed at the way I was handled. I had booked a particular seat only to get there and find some man had sat on 8th. He was really rude and was not willing to move. The management also were not concerned at my plight! I have never used this bus since, and that was my first trip with it! Your customer service stinks!” By Annette Opondo

I you travel, remember to be safe. Safe travel.
