Probably will be possible to use Western Union to send the money over. Online money exchange is super hard in some countries though (I've experienced it first hand in Haiti.) It's a shame because it really holds the people there back. I sent an inquiry to Paypal once asking them about their plans to expand to more countries (specifically Haiti) and got this canned response:
The primary reason is the challenges and complexities associated with the worldwide financial network which becomes even more unique within each country. It is not a reflection of the status or reliability of individuals in these countries.
We currently support services in nearly 200 countries across the globe. The global financial marketplace is unique and varies locally between each country. PayPal always seeks to ensure compliance with local and international laws before unveiling any new service. This is why we cannot offer a firm date or timetable for expansion of specific services.
Though we can't provide an exact date for coming to your region, we can promise you we're working hard to get there.
For more information, just go to the PayPal website and click the "Worldwide" link at the bottom of the page.
