Since I Can’t Receive Funds, How Can I Fund My Nigerian PayPal Account?
If you open account as a Nigerian, you will be required to verify it with a VISA or MasterCard (Verve cards are not eligible) from local banks in Nigeria. Once verified, the card used becomes your PayPal account funding source.

Whenever you want to buy anything online or send funds to someone, PayPal will directly deduct the amount from your card INSTANTLY. Please, note that this not funding. It is deduction from your card.
