To:  PayPal
PayPal is one of the most popular payment processors, and is the primary choice for most webmasters and their existing and potential clients.
However, the drawback here is that only a limited number of countries are supported by PayPal, thus limiting the number of people who can use it.......


Pakistan is one of the countries that currently is NOT supported by PayPal in anyway.
The individuals concerned, need to realize the fact, that Pakistan has a great number of talented individuals, most of which are freelancers. The clients of these freelancers, are mostly based in countries that are PayPal supported, and thus, they prefer PayPal over any other e-currency. In this case, the Pakistani freelancers either lose their clients (potential and existing), or sign up for an illegal PayPal account because they cannot afford to lose their clients.

This effectively, is increasing the 'fraud' rate. These particular Pakistanis have no other option. They cannot lose clients, nor can they get the clients to agree on another payment form.

We would like to request PayPal, and the authorities concerned, to add Pakistan as a supported country in their system as soon as they can. PayPal will lose nothing out of supporting Pakistan. In fact, both will gain. The fees charged by PayPal would mean, additional revenue for PayPal, while Pakistani freelancers will be able to accept clients that prefer PayPal.

We would also like to stress on the fact, that PayPal should add Pakistan as a fully supported country. Since most of the countries that were recently added, were granted a Send-Only support. However, in the case of Pakistan, we request PayPal to add the Send, Receive, and Withdraw (in the form of check and bank, or check only). This is vital for all the freelancers, since there are more Sellers and Freelancers rather than clients in Pakistan.

We have high hopes that PayPal will soon be adding Pakistan as a FULLY supported country, rather than a partially supported one.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
