can paypal knows where you are when you input credit card info to verify your account?

 

Well, if you ask if they log IP addresses of every log in, I would say yes. It is one way which they can ascertain that only you log in from an approved paypal country.

Technically speaking, part of the credit card number would identify which country and which bank issue the card so that can be another way of determing who is real and who is not.

With its billions of dollars, you be sure that Paypal would employ every conceivable methods to prevent fraud.
