Why can't I receive transactions in Egypt

I am currently unable to receive money on my Paypal account from another Paypal user. When they attempt to send me a transaction, they get the error "Sorry, this payment can't be completed due to regulations."
For reference, my PP account has several cards connected on it, but all of them are mastercard. I know that you need either a visa credit card or a US bank account to receive transactions. But I very recently connected a US bank account (managed by Wise) and successfully confirmed it on my PP. I thought that would bypass the need for a visa card. Was I mistaken?
For further context, the sender is a US citizen, while I am an Egyptian citizen. If that makes a difference. The bank info I connected is entirely a US bank, though.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Paypal does not support Wise / Payoneer (or any other virtual banks).
Whilst you can sometimes add an account it wouldn't work properly and Paypal advise you against trying.
If you do succeed then Paypal wouldn't be responsible for any missing funds to or from that virtual / digital bank account.
You need to add and confirm a visa credit card to be able to receive funds in your country.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
