The option to receive Paypal payments is sadly not available in Mauritania 
You can only send payments for purchases funded by your (confirmed) credit card.

Paypal varies a lot country to country and can only offer the services that the banks / governments of that country allow it to offer.
There are quite a few countries unable to receive Paypal payments.

Hold on a sec, i know a guy in mauritania who told me he have an paypal account that can send and "RECEIVE" money on it.

How is that possible?

That is not possible as you will see on that countries site.

They only have PERSONAL top of page which means 'send only'.

However some folks in send only countries try and get around that restriction by opening another countries paypal account.

At some point however that account would be permanently banned and any funds in it limited.
