Can you not use PayFast?
They are a local payment gateway company & accept credit card payments from anywhere in the world. (As far as I understand.)

Before you use paypal, do some searches about various experiences people had. I've read multiple times that they're a very shady company and will often freeze your account, leaving you with absolutely no recourse.
Exchange Control regulations require you to remit whatever you earn to RSA. I am not sure what charges you incur but it's not cheap. To withdraw your funds you need an FNB account. They have various options. The one I chose limited my charges to R49 a month. This gives me online banking and Paypal but no cheque deposits. Once you have remitted what you have earned you can purchase your kindle and take it out again and I am sure you will be required to pay for the privilege a second time.

Wouldn't this be the answer ?To withdraw your funds you need an FNB account
Is it really compulsory to have a Fnb Account.
as it says all over the Net that Paypal uses all banks.... including Nedbank.
and then if i do have a fnb account how do i go about adding it to my paypal profile.
It is not necessary to have a FNB account to have a Paypal account, but you need to have a FNB internet profile (no cost), which you need to FICA. Call the consultants at Paypal and they will guide you through the process of accepting payment to transfering the funds into your bank account. As a note, the transfer from Paypal into your bank account takes about 5 working days due to the Reserve Bank regulations.
