I find it interesting that Puerto Rico is listed as a country. That is laughable since it is a US Territory and is a part of the USA. Someone slept through that part in Geography Class!

Hi Derrick, thank you for the info. If this is true, then it sounds like false advertising on PayPal’s side. I wonder if anyone from PayPal would like to weigh in on this issue?

Nice and valuable info here
For the previous comment, I dont think 2co is a good option
They are such a paranoic people (no offenses), if the look any tiny problem in the first orders they just close your account.

Sorry,

I want to correct misconceptions.The 68 countries you listed are not supported by PayPal.People living in these countries cannot send money,withdraw nor receive money from anyone.Therefore, PayPal is useless in these countries.

PayPal claims to support 190 countries but its a lie which they use for marketing purposes.PayPal only supports 45 countries: In these countries people can send money,receive money and withdraw to their local bank accounts.The only 45 countries supported by PayPal are.

. Australia
• Austria
• Belgium
• Canada
• China
• France
• Germany
• Hong Kong
• Italy
• Japan
• Mexico
• Netherlands
• Poland
• Singapore

If you want an internationally supported payment on your website,you must install 2Checkout.2Checkout accepts many payments such as credit cards,PayPal,check etc,so customers with PayPal will also buy from your website.Its only $50 to join 2Checkout.Other alternatives are Plimus or Moneybookers.Plimus is free to install and also accepts payments from PayPal and credit cards.Moneybookers supports more countries than any service – over 200 countries.

I am trying to set up google checkout for my website. I am in Puerto Rico and I am unable to do so. I see that you say Google does support Puerto Rico. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Tim

Thanks. You list is very handy since I’m considering each of the 2 to use. Any chance you can do a comparison of the systems them selves? Which is easier to use for the processor and buyer?
