Hey guys ! i would like to ask is skrill any good here in lebanon ? i want to sell something online and the buyer is asking me if he can send money through skrill , anyone used it before and has any experience in it? TY.
I have never received money, but use it all the time for online transactions. Never had a problem---if you can't fund it through a credit card, you can use a wire transfer to do it and they can send it to you via a bank transfer (definitely) or on the credit card you used to fund it (hopefully). Open up an account first and make sure you don't have an issue first.

I usually get my cash back on skrill
I transfer it to my FX account outside leb without any commissions.
I can retrieve the money from my FX account whenever I want for a 3 $ commission per transaction.

hahahaha so it seems olx is filled with these guys, i wanted to sell my Clash account on olx and everyday i receive like 20-30 messages of guys wanting to buy my account through "omt" and decline meeting face to face , they ask if i can give my account info (google and ios) and then they give me the western union code , i was like yeah right , i ended up listing my account through playerup , a very good website that the admin (middleman) creates a three way ticket where he receives the money from the buyer and keeps them on his account until i give him my account and he makes sure its the correct account and sends me the money , everything went smooth as silk.
Skrill is extremely reliable, low rates and, best of all, works well with Lebanese Banks.

yep Skrill works! I have an account and verified my Debit card on it, I did pay through Skrill before but never tried to transfer money to my bank
There is another thread about Skrill.
My experience with them was not very good so I can't recommend it.

They blocked my funds and there was nothing I could do about it.

I was using it to recieve a payment. When I could not retrieve the last part (which was not much, but still something!) it blocked it and I had to provide address verification, which failed for some reason (I forget the details) and trying to talk to support was like talking to a wall.
After like 9 months I checked again and they had unlocked my money and I could wire it to my back account.
For sending money it's probably not so much of a problem.

yea so today, i got a phonecall from my Prestigious bank, informing me that i am using "Websites Machbouhin" and i should stop using them, i told her what websites my dear?

she said "steam games" and "skrill"

so yea...
Which bank it is that deny to use steam?
Just to know to never ever use such.
Bank Audi

To be honest i think the main issue was "Skrill" because i cashed out some money from Skrill to my bank account, but that idiot girl mentioned "steamgames" and "Skrill", not only "Skrill".
And what happen's if you don't stop using them?
But can they really just tell people what to use and not to use?
Just walk into the branch and act dumb and tell them you were confused by a phone call and wanted to know what was going on. Sometimes you don't get geniuses on the phone.
