Why You Should Favour Lesotho PayPal above US PayPal

US PayPal is pretty good but quite unfortunately, it is associated with a high risk of fund loss. Only a single mistake can cause a Nigerian holder of US PayPal account to lose their money. Also, the likelihood of retrieving a US PayPal account (following an instance of deactivation) is very low, making many Nigerians have misgivings against US PayPal.

Unlike US PayPal accounts, Lesotho PayPal accounts guarantee Nigerians the optimum assurance of retrieval in the instance of account loss or deactivation. While several internet marketers out there might make you see only the good sides of holding a US PayPal account in Nigeria, it’s advisable that you gaze at the downsides before eventually opening such an account.

But considering the fact that a Lesotho PayPal account is more secure than a US PayPal account, a typical Nigerian should opt for Lesotho PayPal at the expense of US PayPal.

Steps for Creating a Lesotho PayPal Account in Nigeria

Click here to enter the sign up page for Lesotho PayPal
After landing on the page, hit the Sign Up icon at the top right hand corner
Subsequently, specify Business Account as the account type –you should follow this instruction even if you’ve not got a business yet
Fill in your e-mail address as required –ensure you correctly input your e-mail address as PayPal will later send a verification message to the e-mail address you provide
Input your details as requested on the next page
- Name –you should provide the exact name on the (government) ID you’re attaching to the account
- Phone number –since you’re creating the account in Nigeria, you’ll have to select Nigeria’s country code (+234) as appropriate and attach your phone number to it. You should exclude the first digit of your phone number so that you have something like +234 8135399644
- Company name –even if you don’t have any corporate or individual business at the time of account creation, you can use a hypothetical name and thus proceed with the account creation
- Address –supply your home address (in Nigeria) and (the) postal code (of your location) as requested
Confirm that you’re satisfied with PayPal terms and conditions
Subsequently, you’ll be required to describe your business. Follow these tips to do so;
- For Business Type, select Individual/Sole Proprietorship
- For product or service keywords, input Professional Services
- The third field (which is meant for Business URL) is, at best, optional but if you’re running an e-commerce site, it’s mandatory that you fill in the business URL
With the preceding step duly completed, you may tap the Continue button to proceed
Subsequently, fill your personal details (Date of Birth and ID) in the required fields

At this juncture, you’re pretty sure to have successfully created a Lesotho PayPal account. To verify the account, you may check your e-mail for a PayPal-sent verification message.

Conclusion

Of course, US PayPal has a pretty number of good sides but if you shudder to imagine losing your funds (or struggling to retrieve your account) after making just one trifling mistake, it’s advisable that you choose a Lesotho PayPal account in place of a US PayPal account.
