Paypal

sorry i couldn't find the topic we had going a while back about paypal....

just curious to know if anyone has found an alternative to paypal for receiving money since we cannot use paypal for this?

thanks!

so far, no real solution and this is a real issue for internet based businesses

Thanks, SonnyCrockett, but I don't yet read French :/

yes, Julien, agreed! 
I was told that if you have a credit card with a bank here in mauritius then you get paid into the credit card???  Not sure about this though...I have emailed paypal again to inquire. 
Last time I emailed them they said they were looking at opening up in the future :rolleyes:

Payment into your credit card account is not possible with all banks and also not with all types of credit cards. If you have an account with a local bank, you can contact them and inquire about their policies on cashback.

If not possible, then I fear you will have to make the regular arrangements for wire transfer.

purplepixie, is it for an internet business ?

MCB provides you a internet payment platform + payment links that you can send by email (paysmart.mu)

yes, Julien...as an affiliate - and they only have a pay via paypal option :/
