so you have no access to paypal, credit cards, or billpay (direct from your account)? and i think you will need to upgrade to a premium account to do those things like buy and sell.

You could always get a job inworld or make something to sell for L$s.

 

Earn them or make something

Residents can trade both goods and services. With a little work and ingenuity, you can be Second Life's next big fashion designer, jet pack inventor, or real estate developer. You can create pets, vehicles, houses, furniture, games, clothing, shoes, decorations, jewelry, plants, guns, timepieces, signs, fountains, animals, or even a new body! It's all about imagination.

To get an item ready for sale, just right-click it, choose Edit, select the For Sale checkbox, and name your price. If you own land, you can place your creations there to display, or you can make a deal with another resident to help you sell your item in their store.

• Check out the Guide to Jobs in Second Life for a more detailed tour through some of the jobs our Residents have come up with.
• If you're interested in becoming a merchant, read about Selling in the Marketplace.
• You can also read Resident Angel Fluffy's FAQ on how to earn L$ in the Second Life Forums.

Well you could team up with a friend and learn this.

People would pay good money to see it LOL,:matte-motes-big-grin:

You absolutely do NOT need a Premium membership to buy or sell in Second Life. I've been a merchant in SL for over 5 years, and have never had a Premium membership. You do need a valid method of payment on file, to pay for texture uploads and other expenses, and you do need a way to cash out, such as being paid via PayPal.

Supposedly there are methods in place for most countries to allow payment methods that work there, and to allow either PayPal for cash-out, or an alternative method if PayPal isn't available in that country. I would be very surprised if Residents in a major nation such as Egypt would be unable to establish payment method on file, or a way to cash out. Contacting the billing department directly is the original poster's best method to straighten this out.
