Just noticed that UAE is currently the only arab country that paypal offer withdraw to it via a US Bank account or a card. Withdraw could be done to withdraw to a credit, debit, or prepaid card, really amazing !
I don’t know why Paypal continue to offer “Send” only feature in other countries, while I find it totally useless. You can do almost nothing with a paypal account, and even if you verify your account with a credit card, they will happily block your account and ask you to send verification document via fax or email.
Stupid enough to keep my KSA account blocked since last year, nothing urge me to verify something usless. Really I can’t wait for the withdraw feature.
Today a friend just pointed me that lots of new countries have been added to paypal support including : Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Kuwait, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, and Yemen, to make the total supported list above 200 countries. But as usual only Send feature is available for these new countries, which make it somehow useless without the withdraw feature. Hope withdraw will be available soon, at least by check or US bank account at least. And welcome to new countries to spend more money.
After so many years, Paypal, the worst payment system worldwide, is finally available for Tunisia. Even it’s very bad, it’s a solution for many e-commerce websites which accept paypal for their products and services. Tunisia is one of the few arab countries which paypal opened their service for them like : Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, and United Arab Emirates.
Anyway to get full profit you’ll need a credit card, or probably start a small business and start accepting paypal payment. But, currently you can only spend your money since withdraw funds isn’t yet available. Probably when this feature will be enabled in the future it will be a great alternative even if paypal fees are very high compared to many other e-commerce solutions.

In the other side, Rich Kyanka, founder of Something Awful humour site, raised almost $28,000 in less than 9 hours - right up until PayPal froze the funds ! PayPal’s automated system explained that it had received “more than one report of suspicious behavior from your buyers”.
