That makes sense as receiving PayPal is not allowed yet in Jamaica. The PayPal account has to be set up in a foreign country, the appropriate taxes paid, then somehow transferred to a bank down here.

A driver friend tried this a couple years ago as a test, and out of $100us, they ended up with $67...

I use PayPal to transfer money to my place in Accompong Town. My best friend Marshall controls a card and takes out what I tell him is available in Jamaican Dollars. The ATM gives him that amount in Jamaican Dollars and I get a small service charge along with the conversion rate amount deducted from the account. Works better than any other method I have tried yet.

This is a way for a foreigner to transfer money here, but for a Jamaican business, a foreign account would need to be set up and taxes paid in that country as well as Jamaica.

For a purely Jamaican business, it is really not practical until PayPal allows Jamaica to receive payments.
