I have a non-American credit card. A Lebanese Visa to be precise. I am trying to purchase a laptop and mobile phone online. I just can't seem to find a shop that accepts international visa accounts. I tried paypal but paypal doesn't seem to support payments made from Lebanon. I really need this... Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you |

I don't think the problem lies with your credit card unless it is not a standard credit card but a debit or internet charge card which many merchants are reluctant to accept. If you are attempting to purchase a laptop and a mobile phone from a US-based online store, you will find that many of them will not offer shipping for electronic items outside of the US and its territories. The reasons for this are unclear and would appear to be more logistical than legal. Have you tried to purchase any other items such as books, cd's? Paypal is only available in 44 countries currently. Lebanon is not alone! |

if u go to www.ebay.com and click the search option. Then click the option to show more search options From this page You can select the option to view items available to lebanon or even located in lebanon. some of the sellers will actually be companies rather than indevidual people and will display the option to pay direvtly via visa rather than paypal. if you cannot find the product you desire (which is unlikley) you may at least be able to find the contact details of a company that offer postage to lebanon with whom you can request other products from. |

hi rami you can buy anything you want on amazon.com and have them sent to a US address. Amazon accepts lebanese credit cards. To get a US address, check www.eshop-lebanon.com or aramex.com they will then deliver your purchases from the US address to Lebanon. |

First, check with your bank (or credit card provider) if you have an international credit card - you might have a Lebanese only credit card, or a debit card, as mentioned before. Second, it is possible that your credit card was not accepted even if it is an international one, but (for example), Amazon.com accepts an international (non American) credit card, so there are many stores that would accept it. |
