Receiving money in Egypt

I live in Egypt, and my Paypal account is linked to my credit card.
But I am working on a site and they told me that my Paypal account should link to a bank account to be able to receive money in my Paypal account.
I don't know if that is right.

So, my question is, I live in Egypt and my Paypal is linked to my credit card only and not to a bank account, is that enough to receive money? Or should I link a bank account to it?

Yes, as long as its a VISA, read the link.

Yes, it's a VISA card.
Thank you so much for your help.
That means that I can receive any payments from anyone and it will show up in my Paypal balance right away.
Is that correct?

Did you read the link?

You may be subject to the new seller hold so you need to read up on that as well.

Yes, I did.
But I didn't understand that part, because I don't understand what's my situation.
I didn't make any payments through Paypal before (send or receive)
If I should wait for that hold, is that mean that I won't be able to see or know if anyone send anything to me?

I checked the link again, and I understand that I should wait for that hold period.
But is that mean that if someone sends me payments I won't even know that he did.
I mean, I won't get any Email or anything before that 30-days hold
Is that right?
