Good morning everyone! I am based in Dubai and would like to open an etsy store. I am however clueless as to shipping and receiving payments.
1. what is the best shipping company to ship out of UAE to the rest of the world
2. how do i receive my payments? I have a Paypal account but im not sure how to transfer the money from my paypal account to my bank account as i dont think this feature is available in UAE {i might be wrong- i need guidance please}

its been almost 2 years that i have wanted to launch and i really dont know where to get information on how to get started- please help :)

1. The best shipment company is Emirates post. I use it for all my transactions and it is working perfectly! They offer tracking numbers and express shipping when needed. They have a lot of branches around Dubai and the UAE.

2. Paypal is the best way to receive payments on Etsy. You can easily withdraw your money to your credit card account from the main page. if you have any questions about that, I will be happy to help.

Hi aSma,
I wanted to know once you set up a paypal account in UAE and everything.
Do you need any license or anything else for selling.
I'm not selling physical items but only digital so I was wondering if I need a license here or something.
Or if it is just ok to receive payments for a small home based business?
Thank you!
