I am in India and it is almost impossible for common man here to get our local currency converted to Dollar or other Internationally used currencies, and equally impossible to get the money transferred out of India.
It is even more difficult for small amounts.
How can we transfer money to you in Indian Currency by transfer from any Indian Bank (govt), say State Bank of India. We can transfer to any account in any bank within India.
I think several people might have same query. Please devise some method.
Edit: Of course, I am talking about subscribing here. (when I read my post again, it sounded like those mails of some wealthy widow in African country siphoning a couple of billion dollars out of her country, so I better clarify. :-) _
Thanks. -- Rawat

Hiya, The PayPal links should work in India, I believe. You can choose any of the offered currencies on this site and I thought that the PayPal site will charge your card in its local currency and convert to the destination currency by adding a fee. Does that not work?

I have paypal account for 15 years, but I had last used that some 6 years ago, and it was not possible at that time, I think.
In any case, I was using that to bring my foreign currency money to India, so I had never known about what happens if I send Rupees to out of India.
I had once asked my bank about transferring money out of India, and they told me some twisted long-long route that I had lost hope.
Thanks. Rawat

PayPal doesn't move rupees out of India - what it does is work out the rupee equivalent of the amount shown on the Puzzlemix site, and charge you that in your local currency, to PayPal India. (Then it takes service charges, card charges and currency conversion charges and places the remainder in my PayPal account elsewhere).
I don't know about Paypal India, but in most countries you don't need a Paypal account - you can choose other methods of payment when you reach the Paypal site. These include credit card payment and, depending on the country, sometimes other local payment methods too. Sometimes the option to NOT use a Paypal account is hard to spot - written in small text lower down the page, perhaps. But it does vary from time to time - Paypal change it quite frequently.
