Available payment methods in Tunisia
Summary: haham_9653 is looking for information on the payment options available for selling on eBay from Tunisia, because PayPal is not available in the country. lingma85 and koalagris confirm that eBay makes payments by bank transfer and not through PayPal. koalagris also points out the importance of having an eBay account registered with the correct country information to avoid verification issues. Both recommend using eBay.com for transactions from Tunisia.
Hello Sir or Madam,
I hope you are well.
I am currently residing in Tunisia and I plan to sell products on your eBay platform. I would like to obtain information about the payment methods available in Tunisia for receiving funds, given that PayPal is not authorized in our country to this day. Could you confirm whether bank transfer to a Tunisian bank account is possible? If so, could you also tell me whether it is necessary to have a specific foreign currency account?
Thank you in advance for your valuable help.
Regards,
koalagris

If you live in Tunisia, your registration with this username is misleading since you registered this account as if you were in France... 🤔
So this will inevitably cause a problem (identity verification + FR IBAN, in addition to the fake location that will mislead buyers).
Ebay only pays sellers by bank transfer, so the question of PayPal doesn't even come up.
Create an account with the correct country, knowing that for Tunisia you will be under ebay.com (not ebay.fr)

Ebay pays its sellers directly by bank transfer to the sellers' bank account after deducting the commission.
Therefore, paypal doesn't matter....
Also.. given your location, plan to sign up on eBay.com... that would be more sensible.
Best regards
