PayPal in India does not allow users to receive personal payments through PayPal. Now, users have to pay the PayPal transaction fees. Furthermore, PayPal users cannot use the PayPal balance for payment. The payment that one receives through their PayPal account cannot be used for the purchase of any goods and services. In order to pay for goods and services, users have to pay through their debit cards or credit cards. PayPal users in India can not even pay other PayPal users in India since transfer of payments from one PayPal account to another isn’t possible.
Just like any thing that you come across. PayPal has both benefits and limitations.
