I'm from Pakistan as you might be already aware - My uncle from Italy just helped me create a verified paypal account with his bank account as a possible way to withdraw my money. If I access paypal account directly from Pakistani IPs, will that be a problem or will my account get blocked? Awaiting replies.
I haven't read anywhere that paypal requires you to log in from your account's country of origin only...
So true, there is nothing written but your account may be blocked anyway. Happened to me once while being abroad, then Paypal emailed me asking me for documents, but regaining access after doing so.
Have your uncle access the account for you exclusively. Yes, Paypal may not outwardly mentioned that you cannot do it but I believe their system will be alerted if you do so. Unless you do not mind risking and losing the account, I will say it is best not to do so.
I don't recommend that to. Paypal is a billion dollar international support corporation and is not as stupid as what some people think they are. I believe they will easily see through your scam. If you do not mind getting your account frozen then try it. If not, do not use the paypal account at all.
Can't agree more. Even though Paypal does not treat its customers equally, it still is a crowd of clever people doing one of the best businesses on the web.
On a side note, most proxy services will not let you go through a SSL website like Paypal, unless you pay for such enabling such feature and even then it's more likely that it doesn't work either.
I use different computers and when i mess up on the password, maybe a typo it locks my account because it was from a different ip and sends an email to unlock it.
I'm not stupid to use web proxy because you risk/trust the owner of the web proxy with your passwords. I'm using an Italian IPort proxy (My paypal account is originated from Italy)
i remember one time i asked paypal about making an account on paypal because my country wasnt supported and still right now they told me to make an account to any other country and i did this and i send and receive payments never got a problem cause i asked them about this they told me to get it verified by adding a bank account and credit card and thats all and i did this and now account working with no problems
When you open paypal with a different IP, it makes your account limited. You can do nothing with limited account until you resolve it.
Maybe you can remotly use your uncle pc when you are loging to paypal so you will have italian IP address.
I don't think it will be a problem, because i am using my US client from india to pay for his domains/hosting etc.
I don’t think it would be a wise idea to do so... Have your uncle/or some else access that account for you. The safer, the better.
Well there might be one more possibility that your uncle email PayPal telling that he often travel to Pakistan and will access his paypal account from Pakistan. I think telling Paypal this will solve the problem as PayPal account is not bound to be used only from the country of its origin. PayPal may ask for further documents as a verification part.
