Process
How a PayPal payment reaches you in Lebanon
PayBuddy runs a five-step process: quote, confirmation, the PayPal transaction, clearing, and local payout in Beirut. Most payments cleared before 17:00 Beirut time are paid out the same working day.
The five steps
- 01
Request a quote
Message on WhatsApp with the amount, the currency, and whether you are sending or receiving.
- 02
Confirm the terms
You get a written quote: the assistance fee, the applied rate, and the settlement time. Nothing moves until you confirm.
- 03
The PayPal leg runs
Your client pays into a verified PayPal account against your reference, or PayBuddy completes the merchant checkout for you.
- 04
Funds clear
Payout is released only after the funds clear, which protects both sides against reversals.
- 05
Get paid via Whish Money
Your payout is sent through Whish Money anywhere in Lebanon. You receive a transaction statement.
Times and limits
