Re: Skrill in Lebanon

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.

Re: Skrill in Lebanon

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.

There is another thread about Skrill.
My experience with them was not very good so I can't recommend 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.

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".

Re: Skrill in Lebanon

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.

Re: Skrill in Lebanon

You have to verify skrill account nowadays, and only way to do it is to show them a bill under your name showing your address.

Re: Skrill in Lebanon

@semaan,

it worked for me.
Try to avoid Bank Audi, since i received a call from their branch, saying that they don't "like" skrill.
I think since gamblers mainly use it to cashout from gambling websites.

Good luck, and watch out for the HIGH Fees!

Re: Skrill in Lebanon

I have a problem with Skrill authentication, I made the account with the 2 steps passwords using Google Authenticate on my old smartphone.
Now I want to put a token taken by this app with the same email but it won't work saying ''invalid token''. I tried perhaps 30 times.
The only way to add skrill on the google app authenticate is to scan the QR code, and it looks like I must be already signed in to get it. I can reset the normal password but not the 2nd authentication.
Any idea how to recover my account?
