gi means Gibraltar so you signed up for a PayPal account based in Gibraltar. Lebanon is not listed as country that PayPal provides service to so you cannot use PayPal, nor open a PayPal account in a different country because PayPal accounts are country specific. Can't add Lebanese account info and financial info to a non-Lebanese PayPal account.

 

Lebanon is not listed here:

Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
