Syria Sanctions Means that Paypal is Unavailable

I tried to check my Paypal account from Aleppo, Syria, but I was struck to find this message after I tried to log into my account:

Error 3028. You have accessed your account from a sanctioned country. Per international sanctions regulations, you are not authorized to access the PayPal system.

It is now evident that Paypal abides by political sanctions. I did not see this coming.

So I will not be able to check my Paypal account until I exit Syria. If you have recently made a contribution to Vagabond Journey, I want you to know that I really appreciate it.

If you would like to make a donation, now would be a really good time to do so, as my travel funds are quickly depleting themselves.

I really love working on this site full time, but I need to keep my expenditure/ expense fraction constant. Reader contributions really help me to be able to do this. I truly appreciate any amount donation that you can make.

Thank you,

Wade

      Aleppo is far from poor. I found a great country in Syria.
