Hey guys, I'm new here - hello! :adoration:
I do some transcription and writing work which I get paid for via PayPal, and this looks like a convenient way to convert dollars into rands. Usually I have to go through my mom's FNB account, which is cumbersome to say the least. I'm with Capitec and for whatever reason it doesn't seem like you can withdraw to them even if you have an FNB online profile - which I found out after a very, very tedious process - anyway!
I was wondering what buyers use the dollars for once they buy them? Is it an investment thing or to buy in goods from overseas? Also as I realize I'm new, what is the standard procedure for your first sale - would I be expected to send the dollars through before receiving payment until I get a better rep so to speak?
Thanks in advance and good to be here!
