How To Open Paypal Account From Kuwait (Or Middle East Gulf Country And anywhere from The World)

 This is personal experience from  one of my blogger  friend. Please research yourself before taking any step. This is just for information from a friend.

=================

 ”I have opened, verified and withdraw from Paypal living in  Kuwait, anyone can open it from any place around the world. Let me explain how I got my paypal account verified.

A) ->     Open USA Paypal account and used that for 3 months keeping it un-verified.

B) ->     Requested my friend who lives there to help me verify Paypal account and Alhumdulilah my friendo accepted my offer and agreed to help me with this and gave her bank detail. (but wait wait do not be sad, now there is no need to have friend in USA to have your own address, anyone can buy personal USA/ UK/ China addresses from  shopandship.com Aramex on very reasonable price)

C) ->     By that time I was using Ebay and got more then $1000 in paypal and in moneybookers.com

D) ->     I researched “how to get money out of paypal or withdraw from paypal living in Kuwait” and found card444. Card444 is online virtual prepaid credit card number provider and asked them if I can order virtual card and add my desired address, this was their reply:

+++

Got so excited paid them via Moneybookers. Registered myself in Card444 giving my friend’s address, blessed to have such friend really :D , there are many option to pay, they are as follows:  

                      i.        Bank transfer (which would be expensive),

                    ii.        Paypal (this option appears sometimes)

                   iii.        Moneybookers (my favorite, the reason why it was/is my favorite because we can upload or withdraw from Kuwait, this option also appears but often)

                   iv.        Western Union and many others  , at the moment these are the option but we can keep checking every other day to see if there are more options which are suitable for us

 

  I paid $45 dollar to get $10 credit in 2008 but now its $25 to get $5, awesome eh?

I want to use this card to register/verify & pay at eBay & PayPal, will it be accepted there? Also 
can I pay eBay seller fees every month with your card?
Yes it will work. And if there are any specific codes you can also get them in your card statement such as 4 digit expanded use number or certain amount charged to your card for verification purposes. You can also pay eBay seller fees with this card.

++++

 

F) ->     Once you verified your account now its time to withdraw it, there is no use of earning or filling paypal account its better to withdraw as soon as possible to avoid future troubles which cause account control limitation. In that case it is not possible to withdraw any earned money L

G) ->   Apply for Paypal debit card, please follow the steps below:

   1.  Log in to your account at https://www.paypal.com
   2.  Click the “Profile” subtab.
   3.  Click the “Paypal Debit Card” link in the “Financial Information” column.

   4.  Fill in the application entering USA address and card number ordered from card444

 5.  Click “Add and confirm Address.” & follow Instruction.

As it’s a long journey from USA to Kuwait to get it, I got my card in one month, once I received it in Kuwait I paid KD 3.500/- for delivery charges. I was asked to verify my card on paypal.com page.

Thank you

Re-Growing Indoor herb plants & Fruit in Kuwait

$

Alhumdulillah we are living in Gulf country Kuwait, here food is not very expensive and its really a biggest blessing from Almighty Allah, but growing our own veggies and having it feels incomparable.

Country like Kuwait, where climate is at its extreme. When it is summer it is 50- 55° C and sometime exceed that limit as well. Cold is freezing too

But its always fun to try and do something different. Having a garden in backyard or front yard is not possible for everyone (alhumdulilah for those who can afford it ) but there is always a way. We can have tiny small pots in our balcony or Kitchen windows, not only this enhance the beauty of our interior but also create freshness, brighten space and cleanse air.

Here I found something very interesting to grow our own mini garden. I am sure going to try this.

Lets see what we need , got this information from naturallivingideas

***

Below are seventeen fruits, vegetables and herbs you can buy once and regrow forever…

Vegetables

Regrow Green Onions - Want to grow green onions indefinitely? If the answer is yes then follow this tutorial and always have green onions always at hand.

Regrow Onions – This clever method of growing onions in an old used water bottle on a windowsill is a great way to get free onions!

Regrow Carrots -This method to grow carrots from carrot tops is so simple you can get the kids involved. The instant results will get them excited from the word go.

Regrow Celery  - This is a clever idea to regrow celery from the base.

Regrow Sweet Potato’s – The versatility of the sweet potato means it’s a firm favorite with any home cook, here we share a tutorial on how to grow more using nothing but a sweet potato.

Regrow Leeks – Regrowing leeks is similar to regrowing green onions. The simple method is so handy to make the most out of your veggies.

Regrow Bok Choy – Along with celery and onions, bok choy can also be re-grown. This is a fantastic way of cutting your food bills. Why not try it yourself.

Fruit

Regrow Avocado - This easy to follow tutorial requires toothpicks and patience. More avocado’s are not guaranteed, but they have been known to grow. No matter what, you will definitely end up with a great plant  to feature in your garden.

Regrow Lemons - Lemons can be used in so many food and drink recipes alike, even used in crafts and homemade detergents. Why not plant a lemon seed and grow a whole Lemon Tree….

Regrow Pineapples – An impressive tip for pineapple lovers out there! This DIY will leave you with a great pineapple plant making your garden look exotic and unique.

Herbs & Spices

Regrow Ginger – This simple idea requires only a piece of sprouting ginger to regrow more of this fantastic spice forever!

Regrow Basil – Regrowing basil couldn’t be easier, this method will have you growing your own fresh basil in no time. Don’t waste your money on shop bought basil that can ruin quickly.

Regrow Lemongrass – Lemongrass is great in stir-fry recipes and adding a kick to drinks. Here’s how to grow your own.

Regrow A Garlic Bulb – You too can grow a whole garlic bulb from a simple clove. Follow these 5 steps and you will be well on your way to growing your own bulb.

Propagate Rosemary - Regrow rosemary cuttings from your container plant. Why not make even more rosemary plants to fill your garden. This popular herb can be used in a number of recipes so you won’t be short of ideas of what to use it for.

Regrow Lemon Balm – By using the cuttings of Lemon Balm, much like the above Rosemary tutorial, you can re-grow sprouts and plant even more in your garden pots.

Regrow Mint – Mint can be used in so many ways but it’s a pain having to buy a whole bunch from the store. Insteas grow your own and pick what you need!

Following a few of the above tutorials will lower your food bills and provide you with a never ending supply of herbs, fruits and vegetables that you can use in your cooking. Give them a try!
