    Go to www.paypal.com and sign up for paypal account which suits your needs. Premier paypal charges some fee to receive money in your paypal account but personal paypal account is absolutely free however in personal account you can only accept 5 credit card payments in one year and that too with huge fees of 5.9%+ $0.30.

    After opening either type of account you need to verify your account by using your credit card or credit card plus bank account if you are in US. And yes paypal can track your ip address also, but you can open two paypal accounts under same name, one personal and one premier/business account.

    If you're going to open an acc on real details and you're citizen of the country you've chosen, be ready to proof it with your ID details such as passport copy etc.
    I had same problems, but after few troubles with support everything was resolved.

    My friend got his account limited even when he's logged in from his friend's pc, who lives in neighborhood :)

    So, security in PayPal is strong, what causes problems for scammers and sometimes for right people too...

    This is to protect the welfare of the account holder.
    Some how you still need to access your paypal account when you at other country,what you can do is sent an email to paypal and tell them your situation.

    Well if you are in US you have to use both bank account as well as credit card, however if you outside US then only credit card will get you verified. So in either of the case you have to use credit card.

    Sign up only by using your real details including country you are from. There is no crime in travelling to another country for a short term, just make sure that the country you are going you is paypal supported. It is a good idea to drop paypal an email each time you travel and give them the name of the country and time frame you be in there. It always works for me.

    If you are from the US, UK, Germany or Australia, you will need to verify using a Bank account and possibly need a credit card in order to make instant payment online. For the other supported country, you will need to verify using your country's bank-issued credit card. If you are from India, ensure the credit card is marked for international usage.

    If you are not from a Paypal supported country, do not sign up for an account.
