Many South Africans receive payments via PayPal — whether it’s freelance work, affiliate income, or sales from platforms like eBay or Etsy. But the real challenge comes when you try to spend that money locally. With limited PayPal acceptance in South Africa, your balance often just… sits there.

• ✅ Book a hotel stay for your next getaway

…you can now do it directly through Istoko using your PayPal funds.
