Why is it Legal to Create a PayPal Account in Ghana?
Most People will go like, it is unlawful to own a PayPal Account in Ghana. What I usually tell them is, in case you are in Togo or Nigeria, and it’s legal for you to own a PayPal Account, then in the same way, it is legal to own one in Ghana. I can be a Togolese or Nigeria and be residing in Ghana at the moment. Does that forestall me from using my PayPal account when I have one? Absolutely not. PayPal took away Ghana and other countries for their own security reasons, not because of illegality of persons using it in those countries.
Differences Between Billing and Shipping Addresses
Billing Address: Chaheati.com defines billing address as the address associated with your credit card – it is used to verify your credit card information. Your billing address is where you receive your bank statement for the credit card.
Shipping Address: Chaheati.com defines shipping address as the address used to tell the seller where you want your items delivered. This can be the same as your billing address, or it can be different.
