Hi @MtMakary

 

Thanks for asking your question here. You should be able to receive payments in Egypt. In order to receive payments the account would need to be verified and 'Autosweep' needs to be enabled. I would advise contacting us again so that we can check the account for you. 

If you are able to receive payments from other people the issue might be on the sender's side. 

 

You can contact us through the 'Help & contact' link at the bottom of each page or through Twitter and Facebook
