Hey!vegetaleb wroteI want to sell a camera item to France, as we don't have paypal I think Google wallet is the best safe and secure system no?
Is it working in Lebanon now?
So Lebanese banks are afraid of these virtual competitors so they decided to block us in the past?Mero55 wroteHey!vegetaleb wroteI want to sell a camera item to France, as we don't have paypal I think Google wallet is the best safe and secure system no?

All semi-virtual wallets are banned in Lebanon, hence you cant use PayPal, Apple Pay or any other similar service such as Google wallet, and that has to do with the regulations in this country. So no, it isn't working and won't work anytime soon.
BTW I say semi-virtual because you can still use completely virtual wallets like BitCoin because these aren't within reach of the authorities.
Pretty much. Though it is to some extent justifiable because Lebanon's economy is very fragile and losing control over cash flow would be disastrous. Allowing virtual wallets has a huge impact on our economy and how it works - its not an ON/OFF switch (though I wish it was).vegetaleb wrote So Lebanese banks are afraid of these virtual competitors so they decided to block us in the past?
Yup. Or try bitcoin if its a considerable amount of money - ONLY IF ITS *CONSIDERABLE* AMOUNT OF MONEY cause exchanging is costy and painful :p - from what i heard atleast.vegetaleb wroteSo I have to convince the buyer to pay via neteller or skrill, can you use an esurf card to get the money?
You need to get the money either wired into your account or sent to a credit card you can use to withdraw money. Neteller has a credit card option like esurf (also a virtual one) and skrill is sort of like google wallet and paypal in that it can be used to facilitate a payment. All your buyer needs is the email account you are using and once paid, you can have it in your account within a few days or on your credit cards almost instantly.vegetaleb wroteSo I have to convince the buyer to pay via neteller or skrill, can you use an esurf card to get the money?
