Hello fellows, I need to open a paypal account? I`m from Armenia I can`t open an account, because my contry isn`t listed on paypal`s website. Can anybody advise me what to do? Maybe rent some postal address and open some free bank account (US or other) accepted by paypal. I need you kind and urgent help. Thanks in advance. Regards, Tigran
I don't mean to sound harsh: If they are not currently serving the country you live in, you are not supposed to have an account. On the other hand, you might get lucky and find someone willing to forward your mail (they confirm addresses by 'snail mail'). I do not think a PO Box will work, but on that point I'm not sure. Good luck.
Thanks gemini181, But I know there some web-based companies that provide postal address renting services and banks allow foreigners to open free accounts. But I don`t know where to finf that companies.
There is a company called Etrade (i dont use it nor need it, just read about it on some forum); but i don't know how legit it is. Please don't hold me to it. Also i don't believe you shouldn't try paypal, there must be a reason that they are not offering. Why not just try Moneybookers.com ? a lot of people accept it too.
there are 3 options i can suggest for you... 1. look at other alternatives... e.g. e-gold 2. get a friend to accept payments for you - and then send cheques via snail mail to you 3. go to a country that is accepted by paypal and set up a simple company there (a sole proprietership will do). then register with paypal using that company...
Just to help you out - theres www.xoom.com too - try if it helps !! I havent used it neither i am recommending it - plain suggestion.
Don't try to find a way around the rules because when they find out, chances are you probably get your account terminated. If I remember correctly, they do IP validation. If they see an Armenian IP with an American Address, they might get suspicious and freeze your account. I know it is difficult but find some other legal alternatives.
I am from Slovakia and I had similar problem. At last I used Plimus for payment prcessing and I am satisfied with them.
Yeah they do but for example, I'm from Croatia but my ip sometimes says I'm from Amsterdam (Holland) p.l.u.r.
if u want open paypal account pls add me on skype i can help u too open paypal account service2paypal
Don't do it! Getting bank accounts as a foreigner in the US or other western countries is really hard. Paypal will likely find out in the end and you will get banned which means they keep the money in the account!
