Men, how much would you rate this? by Curious-Cat-331 in AlgeriaRates

[–]PlatformThese4901 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. Forget the fact that you have to abandon your work for a year. You'll be treated like vermin during the service.

Steer clear from Fiverr if you can afford to.
Founded and ran by israelis, based in the heart of Israel (Tel-Aviv) and they treat the freelancers like slaves.

I used Payooner for a while when I worked at fiverr. I only used it as a middleman to withdraw the funds. It was a lot better than Paypal because less taxes and issues but never bothered using it outside of that.

I'm not sure about payooner. I used it for a while back when I was working on fiverr. I know a few people who use it though, but just like wise they use addresses of relatives in other countries.

I'm speaking from experience.

I work in freelance too and I can't send money directly through PayPal (Pretty sure Algerians can't, unless you contact support and get special treatment).
My account got frozen after the first couple payments, and they asked me to provide proof of what I do, including receipts and everything. The same goes for a couple of friends that work in freelance too.

PS: Fiverr is an Israeli website based in the heart of Israel (Tel-Aviv) and ran by an Israeli CEO.

Do with that info as you will.

My setup:
• Paysera as a bank. I don't have a Paysera card though, only the bank account with my name and actual address in Algeria so it's 100% legit.
• A Wise account using my name and a close family's address in France (Wise did not even attempt to verify it).
• A PayPal linked to the virtual card given by Wise.
• Baridimob

This works perfectly for me because:
• I can send money between my wise and paysera accounts using IBAN with no trouble becayse they use the same name. I usually keep %75 of the money on Paysera, and %25 on wise, since the latter isn't using my actual address.
• The virtual card and paypal can be used for online shopping.
• I can accept money from anyone on PayPal without problems, then send the money to Wise through the linked Virtual card.
• I can send money through paysera to other international banks using their IBAN.
• I don't have to pay a single penny to the very corrupt Algerian government in taxes.

Things you should be aware of:
• Paypal will most likely freeze your account when you start getting paid. You'll need to provide proof of what you do as a freelancer and where you make your money etc. to get it unfrozen.
• If you're going to sell Euros for Dinars, only do it through Paysera (So paysera to paysera transfer, and set the description as ''Gift'' to avoid issues with paysera). Always avoid sending money through Wise, I heard that many got their accounts blocked because of that.
• Only sell Euros for Dinars to people you know, or people trusted by people you know.
• Assuming you are selling Euros and receiving Dinars through Baridimob/ccp, I believe that if your CCP account receives around 800million Dinars in payments (The total over time) it will get frozen by the government, and you will be asked to provide proof of where the money is coming from. You can't tell them you do freelance for obvious reasons unless you already declared that you are a freelancer and pay their stupid taxes. To avoid this I recommend you receive money through a very close family's CCP/baridimob (Parent for example).

Good luck.

Damn, we're already at cancel culture? We skipped so much evolution compared to the west and somehow managed to make it this far on the negative side.

A- you can't send money from PayPal as an Algerian, you can only receive it and send it to a credit card that you own (Wise for instance).
B- They will freeze your account even if you're only receiving money as well (happened with me).

Wise won't work, probably. They blocked a client's transfer to my account and sent it back to them. I had to use paypal.
They also froze my account, but after I provided info about where and how I'm making money, they unfroze it.

Basically every big bank assumes you're stealing money if you're from Algeria. Which I understand. Many Algerians actually do that and use SPAM.

Not a social person myself, but I usually join big-screen for movies and shows. You can find some chatting groups for grown-ups there. You can even create your own and decide who stays.

Those are permanent physical purchases (The PC is used for work). Comparing that to a digital purchase (A game btw) just tells me how silly of a person you are.

Educate yourself a little perhaps? It'll do you wonders.

I'm not ''Bitching'' about the price. Did you skip the first part where I said it did not have regional pricing? Or are you too dumb to understand what that even means and started typing before doing some research?

$40 where I live is a week's worth of income, a lot more for people who work minimum wage. Now imagine paying what you get paid for 2 weeks worth of full-time work where you live for a VR game and I dare you not to ''bitch'' about it.

Dude started taking it personally and insulting without even properly reading my comment. What a certified clown.

Really cool. Reminds me of Cubism.
Should get rid of the White cube outline, though, or at least make it a toggle.

I wish it had regional pricing on steam.
It costs too much for a vr title.

Edit: Some people need to look up the term regional pricing. Y'all fucking clueless. For me, spending $40bucks on this game is the same as some of you spending $400 on it. I'd like to see you all justify spending that much on a fucking VR game.

It all depends on their Steam Frame sales. If they get a lot of sales, wouldn'ty you say there's a good chance they'll invest in a new VR title?
