Numerous companies do not accept PayPal payments from customers in Romania. Sure, Paypal works in Romania, but what’s the use of that if you can’t use it?
Some of the companies that do not accept PayPal from Romanian-based customers –
Serif (Affinity)
Babbel
Transfer companies (to get the money from PayPal into your bank account).
And a few others (especially design and language apps).
With this in mind, do not be surprised if Romania based freelancers do not accept PayPal. If they can’t buy what they need with it, how will they use it?
