    1. Hello Louis!
      PayPal tends to blacklist some countries, meaning it’s services are not available there. This is caused by several reasons, one primary being the fact that the respective country faces some digital threats, such as countless hack attacks, or instability regarding economy, politics and even war. But I do not want to give the wrong information, so I think it is best if you address your issue to PayPal’s customer support service.
      We are a separate company from PayPal – we only provide the instruments to create web forms and surveys. Everything related strictly to PayPal needs to be addressed to them.
      Thanks!

    1. Hello Lenny!

      I see you are Platinum user, in which case the message shouldn’t have appeared. Could you confirm that you cannot add any of the payment gateways in the Payments section?

      Regarding live chat, our Support Team is online from 9 AM to 12:30 AM (GMT+2). You could also leave a message at support@123formbuilder.com and a support representative will reply as soon as possible.
