Louis40 wroteEven if you apply for an Amex card from outside of Lebanon, if the shipping and billing addresses do not match especially if you put the lebanese address for shipping, they will ban you.. i have tried this. However, if you contact the seller and agree to ship it to you to Lebanon, it may work depending on the seller's decision.

We're talking about getting a PayPal account. No shipping and billing address yet. If you're referring about eBay then that's a problem for another day.

I have an Amex Gold CC and I have paypal since 2 years although I rarely use it but it worked couple of times.

Few days ago, I ordered something on newegg and my trasaction was declined, my account was suspended and my Paypal account is permanently limited now.

Shipping was to California... not sure what's going on here but Amex cards are no longer working.

Dear Karim,

It appears that you currently reside in a country that we don't offer service in at this time. Establishing our service in each new country involves complex changes due to different regulations in each of these countries. We're working hard to expand our services as rapidly as possible.

Due to this, we'd like to begin parting ways in a manner that is least disruptive to your business.

You may use the remaining account balance to provide refunds to your buyers if necessary.

Due to the potential risk of chargebacks and other reversals, the money in your PayPal account balance will be held for 180 days from the date the limitation was originally placed on the account. After 180 days, you will be notified by email with information on how to collect your remaining money.

Unfortunately, there are no further appeals being allowed on your account.

A couple of weeks ago I came across something that made me try to give it another shot at linking my AMEX to PayPal again and to my surprise it worked! I made a few purchases from Ebay and Walmart and everything went smoothly. So, I thought I should let you guys know.

Thanks for the info
What did you use as country && address in the Paypal account?

I signed up for PayPal Bahrain since AMEX is issued from there. as for the address I just use my US shipping address.
make sure to verify/confirm you card after adding it.

xazbrat wrote Ebay will be moving away from paypal (even though they created it) and move to a dutch processing company called Adyen. I think there is a better shot that this gets approved in Lebanon than paypal ever had since this company also facilitates payments for netflix and Uber.

So if you can wait a bit, ebay may be available here.

Fun fact, Paypal was created by Elon Musk in 2000 and later acquired by ebay in 2002 until 2014.

and you won't get one, they just stole your credit card info. talking from experience.

NuclearVision wroteknow what? Just leave it, i'm guessing it has 0 intl limit or an LbP card.
They most likely ddidn't figure our how to use it.

NuclearVision wroteThey probably have a big list to go through and haven't reached your card yet.
Did you put your card as a payment method ?
If that's the case it should have been charged immediately for relevant fees right?
Since it didn't, i assume something fishy is happening, not that i would trust this website in first place.
I advise you to call your bank first thing in the morning and tell them it was stolen and cancel it.

NuclearVision wrotePayment for what?
