Paypal blocks your country?

We have had a few potential users contact us with the following error. As they try to checkout, paypal returns:

“Paypal does not allow your country of residence to ship to the country you wish to”

Of course, this is a digital product, and there is no shipping, so we are as baffled as you are. There doesn’t seem to be an obvious pattern as people from New Zealand, South Africa, Brazil etc have been affected. We have contacted paypal and they are in active correspondence. Hopefully we will have this resolved swiftly.

Sorry about the annoyance. We would love to have you benefit from all our hard work, and yes we want your money.
