Hello,

I added the info for my country on the table and at the bottom of the
page a link to a wiki page where I have been collecting info regarding
paypal in LATAM. That is noy up to date, but unfortunately there has
been lack of cooperation to fill a page that it is more or less what
this page is alla bout.

Thanks very much for your input.

There has been problems in the past about reimbursements in LATAM. Muchof those problems came from the fact that were not properly confirmed
that will be possible to be reimbursed. During the meeting it was
not discussed if the person had a paypal account and if that worked in
his or her country. Then we had run into problems with filling all the
information on trac.

We made a video recording trying to cover all the options so people can
have latest information. Still we got some minor issues, like the person
in charge of reimbursement is not owner of the ticket, so the comments
on ticket do not reach to the person that actually can operate on this.

Do such problems persist?

Paypal do not work in every country, but it has helped a lot. I thinkthat it will be difficult to find a tool that works in every single
country. Probably we should spread into others tools. One thing that
works almost everywhere is a person-to-person transfer like western
union. But that meand that somebody withdraw cash and go to the office
of that person-to-person transfer service to send the money. That is a
lot of work.

I did some quick research. It seems we are able to send money using Western Union's online platform, too. They accept credit cards and they operate in more than 200 countries across the globe. I think we have just found one strong candidate. The only significant downside I see is they have relatively higher fees compared to other platforms.

All: By the way, just to clarify, we are looking for a secondary platform/solution, to act as an alternative. We are not aiming to stop Paypal reimbursements.

Thank you all, keep the feedback coming!
