  • Paying with Lebanese cards online

I know Amazon takes LBP.
What other websites can you give examples of?

Some luxury brands websites ( clothing mainly )

I need to buy something that was listed for 25 millions LBP. MSRP is $18500 USD so I was wondering if paying by LBP card is possible over the internet.

Don't think they allow 18M transactions, even in normal days. Once I paid 3000$, I got pending validation and got a call from my bank and they had to do it manually.
I have LBP credit cards, and when I try to buy from these websites they are still considered as part of the international limit by my bank, hence declined if more than 50$ a month.
Admin edit: I merged a few topics, updated the title and made this a sticky as many questions are coming in this direction.
This whole situation is pretty damn shitty. All I wanted to do was buy Animal Crossing on Switch but the banks won't take my money, man I hate this country so much.

I have an LBP account with SGBL, it's an iLive Debit Titanium Card, but it's declining all my online transactions on Amazon.
Weird life we live in.

Just digital stuff, I won't bother with anything physical cause it's too expensive.

i use easyshop and shipped.io, i know it costs double sometimes, but i cant find anything new in lebanon, 90% of the electronics here are outdated. laptops and tvs are from year 2017, plus the electronics here are made in india, philippines, and china.

lots of times you get a better deal if you order from amazon than buying from here, take for example the the bose qc35. its very popular headphones, i cant find any store selling it below 500$ even boselb, i got it from amazon for 200$ + 150$ shipping and customs.

Makes sense, I never did this, because customs can be so unpredictable.
Can anyone confirm whether the LBP cards work on Amazon if the currency selected is LBP? I have USD only cards and I would like to know, if this works. They charge 1570 LL per USD which I'm okay with.

I tried one from Credit Libanais and it didn't work. it seems that CL LBP cards don't work for online international transactions. I don't know for other banks

Can we pay online in USD with pcandparts and Ayoub computers?
I have an esurf card
Pcandparts no, cash only
No idea about Ayoub computers

I have an esurf too.
Too bad it's literally useless now cause nobody has USD. I wonder if they could somehow let me deposit LBP to it?
These Lebanese online shops are either dumb or limited by the banks, but when doing this they push people to buy from US and European online shops, so throwing more $ outside Lebanon.
I have a small account in $ and don't want to see my couple of $ left going to a band of thieves called politicians, I rather buy something useful with it. Even a Xiaomi phone bought from aliexpress + customs will cost me less now because of the $ black market here, if you pas in $ they want to see actual cash and if in Lebanese it will cost x2 more, imagine a phone that cost 450$ will be 900$ and an s20+ 950$ will be 1900$!!
