Amazing, isn’t it? All you need do is create a PayPal account and you are good to go. With PayPal recent partnership with first bank, things even got a lot easier! I will show you the simple steps to open and verify your PayPal account here in Nigeria. Getting started; To open your Nigeria PayPal account for the first time, first, kindly cross-check that you are on Nigeria IP because it is very paramount you open it on Nigeria IP for the first time and as well access it with Nigeria IP and not just any IP. IP, simply means your geographical location (country). Whenever you log in, your system shows your exact geographical location. (Can IP, be changed?, yes, for instance, it’s possible to be in Nigeria, have your IP, appear to others as though you are in USA, China, etc. with the help of a proxy server technology). There have been instances of Nigeria PayPal accounts limited and permanently limited all because they were opened on IP different from that of Nigeria which make use of Proxy Server technology that is strictly against PayPal Terms of Service. To always check and confirm your IP before and after opening it, do type www.ip2location.com into the browser you want to use to make sure you are on Nigeria IP. You can also train yourself with clearing all your browsing histories including cookies on your browser before opening or each time you want to access your PayPal account by clicking TOOLS > CLEAR RECENT BROWSING HISTORY>Drop down the first item and select EVERYTHING >Mark/tick all items in the item and finally click on CLEAR NOW and allow it to load and then restart your browser if possible although that is optional. Once you've done that, you are good to go; all you need to do is to visit PayPal Nigeria homepage via www.PayPal.com/ng or type www.PayPal.com/ng into your browser and click. Once it opens, click on "sign up" at the right corner of the page. Click on "open account" under the individual section for personal account. Fill in all details with your correct and real details & then click on "Agree and create account" button. After doing that, go to your e-mail you submitted to get a link to activate your PayPal that must have been sent to your e-mail. Update your security questions and answers noting them somewhere safe because those are the details you will need to do most things like changing of password, change of names and many other things. Once you've done these things, it means you've successfully opened and activated your PayPal account.

VERIFICATION: After successfully opening your PayPal account, the next step is to verify your PayPal account. Why you need to verify your PayPal account: you will be placed at a $250 limit. This means you spend more than $250 with your PayPal. But with verification of your PayPal account, you can spend and shop as much as want.You need either Visa or MasterCard that you are sure of it billing address (the address you submitted when filling the form that was given to you by your bank in order to open an account for you and as well when ATM card was given to you). Assuming you don't know (may someone opened the account for you) or can't remember, kindly visit your bank to equip you with those information, because that information is paramount for your card to be added else, your PayPal account won't go through. Make sure also that you have at least withdraw able N500 on your card because your card will be charged with at least less than $2 by PayPal which will also be returned to your account. Once you are ready and set with all what I've listed above, you are ready and set to verify your PayPal account by following the simple steps below: First, log in to your PayPal account and make sure you entered the correct billing address for your card as I've mentioned earlier on. Second, check your email for the 'Welcome to PayPal' email sent into the email address you used in opening your PayPal account. There is a 'Link Your Card' link inside that email; click on that link, follow the prompt and log into your PayPal account. In your account follow the step by step instruction making sure your card details and billing address are correct, then click 'Continue'. If your card details are correct, PayPal will deduct $1.95 from your account with an instruction to look out from an alert from your bank in 2-3 days’ time. My GTB alert took less than 1 hour to arrive on my phone. The message in the bank alert goes thus " Acct""""""""""""""""""""8899 The naira equivalent of USD 1.95 has been approved for the transaction done on PP"****(four digit numbers) CODE 56743***** LU Third, Log back into your PayPal account and click either the 'Verify' tab at the top of your PayPal account statement or 'Confirm your card' link in the right hand column of your Papal account. Doing either of the two will take you to a window where you'll be required to enter the four digit code in the alert message sent to you by your bank. Enter the 4 digit numbers preceding CODE in the SMS alert; its 6634 in the sample SMS I gave above. After entering the 4 digit code in the space provide, scroll down and click the 'Confirm Card' tab. That's it! Your Nigeria PayPal account has been verified. You've successfully verified your Nigerian PayPal account and you can now shop all over the world both online, offline on eBay, amazon etc. just with that your ATM card. There won’t be situations of been turned down by merchants whenever you choose the PayPal payment option. YES IT’S THAT SIMPLE! Verifying your account also lifts the limit off the $250 spending limit on unverified accounts. I hope this helps if you are having issues with verifying your Nigerian PayPal account.
