@Che Monu

what's the advantage to using it for online purchases when compared to just using a credit card (which is what i do).

i understand you can use it to deposit money directly into someone's account, almost instantly, no matter where they are in the world?

You see the issue is Paypal doesnt seem linked to our local banks thats the problem, so if you are recieving funds its great, but the only way i know to deposit is to use a credit card.

I havent used it in some time i hope the upgrade to link with south africa.

Sa banks have been cockblocking this move for a while, they'd be shitting bricks "what you mean we cant tax them? Say it aint so"

to be honest i only use it for ebay... otherwise i just register my credit card normally (with amazon etc.) and it doesn't cost a thing if you use your credit card like a normal debit card, just deposit the cash in the card before buying shit people
