    Hi All,
    this is my first message here,
    I am a Persian and live in Iran
    I'd like to set up a site and sell somethings, I like it be international
    then I think may I need a paypal account so that others can send their money to me,
    but paypal service is not for Iran, and I think there is no such services for Iran,

    then what can I do?
    I met a trusted man in Romaina via chat, and he liked to help me, but I was bad luck cause Paypal service is not in Romaina too

    then what can I do?
    is any good methed which workd in Romaina?

    Also actually I don't know much about Paypal,
    how it works, and what it needs to get an account

    if you help me you save me from a very bad situation

    You can check moneybookers (you have a link in my signature) and 2checkout for credit card proccessing. You will lose some clients because you don't have paypal but one day they will support your country to...

    Iran is likely to be last on any list, unfortunately, given the political situation between the Arab world and the US. This does put you at a distinct disadvantage.

    i may be able to help you out there.
    but please be more clear on your problem
    are you saying you don't have an paypal account coz iran doesn't
    support paypal service and you need a paypal account so that people
    can make payment to you.

    or you could try an alternative method such as egold that is widely used
    by asian country..........

    i have an paypal account..let's say someone paid you throught my paypal
    and how am i supposed to transfer the money to you except by
    wire transfer of coz or if you got an egold account, i can convert the
    payment to egold for you just like i did with my friends coz he doesn't have an paypal account.

    PM for more info

    Too bad to hear that. Actually there is nothing you can do as of this situation. But if you some relatives on other countries you might as well set up it for you.

    Also lots of people here don't have paypal as well but still manage to received paypal payments. Just keep on browsing and ask few people here on how they manage to receive paypal payments even though paypal isn't available in their respective countries.

    There few companies that can handle PayPal money to be transfered in your country. Just research on who among of these companies are reliable and can be trusted to handle your money. ;)

    Thank you all,

    the moneybookers support Iran, but I still don't know how it works,
    does it work like paypal?
    it asked me no information about a bank acount or etc. then how will it send me the money, and can I put the link in my site so people send their money easily to me (like PayPal)

    I checked the e-gold , the service is not for Iran too, (even Afghanistan and Iraq are listed but not Iran!)
    however it supports Romania, but again I don't know can it be used instead of paypal or not

    BonDat,
    I found a company for paypal transfering, but again they want percents of selling,
    also actually I can not trust any company, indivisual, ....
    this man that I trusted, already send me his visa card, and for a long time we are cyber friends,

    thank you other for their offer,
    you can message me, how can I trust you to send the money
