Hi all,

Paypal doesn't work where I live (Lebanon). Up until now I've been using my sister's account (in the UAE) and she's been sending me the money via Western Union, but lately that's been a bit troublesome too.

I can use Moneybookers, but most companies out there really do use Paypal, so I'm wondering what I could do.

I'm thinking of having someone with both Paypal and Moneybookers receive my money on Paypal and send it to me via Moneybookers in exchange for 1% or something of the like. Any help? Or any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Problem with Paypal Mar 22, 2010

I think they (Paypal) did not know about Middle East because they did not include its countries (except UAE in both sending and receiving) till now.

Finally, I would like to refer to arabic forum where there is a post talking about this subject.

When your client click on the link to pay, 2CO handles the sale in a secure environment, contracts with you as the supplier to fulfill the sale, and deposits payment for the sale into your account. Then you can send your money directly to your bank.

I hope this helps!

Apparently, 2Checout does not accept Translation Services companies/freelancers anymore. I was rejected because of my "industry".
