Post by: disco_dancer on October 16, 2012, 18:13:29 PM
Hello guys,

Paypal does not offer a selling in ZAR currency. Learnt this the hard way, they currently only have 24 currencies and ZAR is not one of them. I inquired directly with Paypal. My advice would be to stay away from Paypal and any hosting company that offers you ecommmerce with Paypal for South African online commerce, until such time that Paypal does trade in ZAR. CM4All is also a no go in this case, because it uses Paypal.
