How to use Paypal at Qatar

How can I use Paypal for receiving payment at Qatar? I see Qatar is listed only for sending money, no option for receiving.

I've heard about a Visa prepaid card through which it could be possible, but can't find the proper info. Or is there any other way?

Will anyone share his paypal experience in Qatar please?

I have and use Paypal all the time here in Qatar for the past 3.5 years. At first I had problems because the IP address is what flags you. I think the actual reason for residents being barred is the fact that you cannot get you bank accounts confirmed. My bank happens to be in the US and that is why my account was confirmed to use Paypal.

I use my Indian paypal account to receive money for service. I then use services like Xoom to withdraw money to my accounts there. As I posted in some reply's, I used my qatar based cc to verify my paypal.

you cannot get cash but you can use Paypal MasterCard to spend the fund you have available in your paypal account.
