If you are like me and you like shopping online then you know how time consuming it is filling in your card details every time you purchase things, especially from overseas.
Paypal makes it easy to shop internationally by storing your card details and just asking you for your PayPal credentials before making your purchase. You will also have the ability to get a refund within 45 days if you are unhappy with your purchase even if the store you purchased from is uncooperative, however you should always try to resolve the problem with the store first.

As you can see from the info-graphic below. PayPal is widely used overseas and is accepted by almost all online stores giving you limitless buying potential. Unfortunately South Africa is not on the map because PayPal does not support the Rand as a currency for payment yet.
All transactions are converted to US dollar when making purchases, however if you want PayPal to add the Rand as a currency for payment please sign this petition and in the near future, we might feature on info-graphics like these too!
Below are some posts from the Capitec Bank Facebook profile that might shed some more light if you are having trouble linking your Capitec Global One Card to your PayPal account

Hi Kurt, I am a Saffer living in the Netherlands. I have a functional PayPal account with two cards linked that can receive payments but cannot pay money from PayPal into them. I should be able to link my FNB credit card. Please help.
am I able to receive payments using an individual payment account?
Can I link a normal capitec bank savings card to PayPal or must it be a credit card
Is this pal payment works only on credit cards
I tried this, I was at Capitec this week to get a new card, but while trying to add the card to my paypal account it keeps saying that my card has been declined by the issuing bank.
Hi,l just opened an account with PayPal. l used a different address from the one l used for my bank. Will this be an obstacle when making online payments? I’m still new on this, please help
Hello Kurt
I admire your commitment to this thread. Some questions I have in Feb 2019:
1. Can you please confirm whether the only way to withdraw is into a FNB account currently?
2. I have seen that a Virgin Money has a no-fee credit card. Even cheaper than Capitec Global One – R35/month. I wonder if that is linkable to paypal.
3. Do you know if SWIFT fees apply to every international withdrawal from Paypal – or if you can do a once off lump sum withdrawal all the currencies mashed together?
Thanks for your time
Hi Ana,
I’m glad I can help.
