Hello, The question is: I am not from US or UK. But, I have US Virtual Bank account which is linked to Payoneer master card. Can I use GoogleCheckout? 2. Can I open US Paypal account and use paypal merchant services? (I am emailing paypal as well) Would be great to see replies from experienced members. Thank you
I had a google checkout account, but I was got stuck on 1 refund, when I issued the refund after 2 days of refund google suspended my account and asked me to provide Photo ID and SSN for verification. My Advise is DO NOT go with google if you don't have valid ID and SSN
I wouldn't risk it. The do comprehensive checks on all of their sellers, far more than what Paypal does. It would be unlikely they wouldn't identify that you aren't in the US/UK. If you live in the US and have a US bank account, you're probably fine. If you are not actually located in the US, or have a legal business presence in the US, otherwise it's not about the bank account, it's about the liability and accountability.
Wajdan if you have vaid US ID/US Bank and SSN then you can open google account, they will observe your account for 60 days before, in these 60Days your Payout time will be 10 to 15 days, after they validate your account it will became 3 business days.
What is meant by SSN number? As I said earlier, I am not US citezen nor I live there, but I have got bank account there. I have valid Bank Account with valid ABA number. Bank Account is on my name , that matches with the name on my ID card. Thank you
You'll need some form of taxpayer ID number. An SSN is a social security number for US citizens and a Taxpayer ID Number (TIN) can be obtained by those from other countries that do business in the US. You would ABSOLUTELY have needed either one of those to open up a bank account.
Well. First of all, you have to pass though SSN/EIN verification and when you done, you may go ahead and add your first bank account- everything will go smooth for maybe 2 to 3 weeks at max if you have regular sales. Then one morning, you will receive an email from Google noticing you that your account has been terminated and they do have the rights to do so as per their TOS. Umm, I have tried it 4 times at different ways and just waste of time... Oh by the way, google has paid me off all the cash I had in my seller account except a $48.00 last transaction that they refunded to the origin. Best wishes, Ahmed Nitul
You won't be able to access PayPal from outside (if you create one with US address) and if you do, it will get limited and you will have to provide valid US documents like SSN, Utility bill etc. Any idea how you would be doing that?
