As far as payment is concerned, you need to know the following :

  • You need to have a paypal account and a credit card linked.
  • You CANNOT receive money on a paypal account registered in Mauritius, not yet.
  • The first time you link your credit card to paypal, you need to check the transaction code from your Internet Banking or your ATM statement.
  • MCB, SBM and paypal are 3 different things, completely separated. No use of searching for any related links lol

    1. Hello.

      Yes, if you want to buy something, you need an account. But it is not necessary to have one if you only want to browse the items (window shopping)
      If you are purchasing, you will also need to create a paypal account (and link a credit card).

      Happy Shopping!

    1. I do not have the information right now but I think that Paypal might be accepting a wide range of cards.

      As far as I know, it will charge it on your paypal account which will then charge the amount onto your credit card, not onto your bank account.

      I haven’t got any refunds yet but I guess that someone else might reply this to you. Normally, I think that the refunded amount might be held onto your paypal account.

  14. hi Yashvin,

    im so glad i discovered your blog. How long does it take to ship using Priority Mail International from the US to Mauritius? I have a package that was mailed on April 20, it left the US on April 22 but there hasnt been an update since then.

    Also have you ever had a problem of having items stolen from your package?

    Thanks!!

    1. Hello.
      Priority Mail international might take 2 weeks on average, 3 weeks max, unless I’m mistaken.

      No, I haven’t got any problems. Touch wood! 😛

  15. Hello. Do you know whether it’s possible to make payments on Ebay UK with a PayPal account linked to a credit card which is registered here in Mauritius. It seems that PayPal would not accept my credit card registered in Mauritius – since their billing address is limited to UK only. Any clarifications welcomed.

    1. Hi.
      Dont worry, you will receive a card in your letter box (if you have one :P) whether if your parcel is held by the customs or at your local post office. And if you have a tracking number, try to verify the status online.

      Dont hesitate if you have any questions.

  18. Hi. I need ur help. I want to buy a dress from ebay.the seller is from china. In how many days will i receive it? And if i use dhl how much should i pay here in mauritius?

    Like

    1. Hello.
      No, you can’t just choose to use DHL. The seller will specify the types of shipping he offers and you will pay the total directly on eBay itself. Normally from China, it can take up to 3-6 weeks.

    1. The price for shipping is written on the page where u choose your dress. He can report you, yes and ur account can be blocked. I don’t see why u want to do this, sorry.

        I don’t know if it is illegal but I’m aware that there are security issues during the shipping. I think that you need to call the central parcels office.

  22. I came thru your blog by coincidence. I have ordered two pairs of headlight lamps on the net from UK for my car. The parcel was dispatched October 12 thru Royal Mail and the delivery was targeted between 6 to 9 working days, Today 14 working days still have not received it yet. 3 weeks delivery lead time UK to MRU.
    Very slow and inefficient.

    1. Hi.
      Start by registering on Ebay and get yourself
      ? a credit card or a prepaid card from the banks (MCB or SBM).

      Next, you look for your item on Ebay.com which can be shipped to Mauritius. ?

      Try this steps before I need to explain any further.
