Jamaica is one of the countries that although Paypal lets you directly pay for things, you cannot directly receive payments. Your account can accumulate the minimum amount for Paypal to cut a check, then they will mail you a check. That takes usually between 4 to 6 weeks, then once you receive it, you deposit it and that take 30 business days to clear. The person receiving the payment does not get it for at least two months.
