    If you operate paypal account from country which is not supported by paypal then due to ip address you are in trouble and your paypal account getting limited for sure IMO. So don't do this.

    DON.

    That's not going to solve your problem. The account may be in your brothers name but essentially, your account will get limited for being used in an unsupported country. It will be similar to using fake info (country, etc..), with the exception of the information supposedly being real.

    What Pervert was suggesting is not tested because Paypal explicitly said that only access can be done from a paypal supported country and not others, there is no acceptable to the rule. What he is telling you to do is to just try your luck but since this is a forum, you cannot take any of our words as Paypal's.

    If you want to be certain, ask Paypal directly to get a confirmed answer. If you believe their answer would be NO then you should not even consider this option.

    If anything goes wrong, your brother would be in trouble and not you since it is his account. Besides some customers would not like to deal with 3rd party payment, ie you do the service and they pay someone else.

    Also if you have a Business Account, make sure that you have a registered business in the respective country or else you may not be able to withdraw your funds and if they ask for proof of delivery and invoices, it would need to be done in the company's letterheard.

    Make sure that you do not use any proxy to access your paypal account as it would be against the TOS. Paypal is not stupid and they can track IP addresses and they would know what is proxy and what is not.

    Why not contact Paypal before you sign up for the account and tell them your current situation without covering up any facts or truth and see what they have to say about it.

    I am not trying to promote anything illegal here but I do not think that statement holds value because a person can simply use a proxy to get through to his account. Correct me if I am wrong.

    Do you know that using a proxy is deemed as not being acceptable. Besides it is just trying to circumvent your contractual agreement with Paypal, it does not make it right.

    https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/UserAgreement/ua/USUA-outside#restricted-policy

    Personally, I don't think that Paypal is stupid enough to be fooled by a Proxy.
