Hi all, I need a functional paypal acc. but my country is not supported. By functional I mean, an account that can send, receive and collect funds. Let's say I've got an uncle from US or UK and he'd be willing to open the account for me. Assuming that he could get it verified and clean, my questions are: How can I use that account without the fear of being banned and account closed due to logging in from a different geo IP? Also, how can I collect the funds from such an account if it's set up on some other name and bank account? I don't want to use VCCs and such for verifying the account because that would lead to the same outcome- they will detect my IP when logging afterwards. Suggestions highly appreciated, thanks!
the only way i see is you have to get someone who live in a country that is supported by paypal and open a account for you on his/her name and verified with there CC... but i don't think anyone will be willing to take the risk of reversal or chargeback since paypal have no marchant protection... so if chargeback will be made,, then they paypal will take the chargeback fees from there credit card... so nobody will take the risk of losing there own money because of you unless its your relative that live in a country where paypal is supported... if you don't know that a reversal and chargeback can be made even after one year at paypal. i have open a account of my cousin brother who live in a different country and waiting for him to get a CC soon so he can verify his account for me... the only way you can collect the fund is by withdraw the money on the name of the person the account is made and ask them to send it through western union or you can try Xoom.com if your country is listed at xoom... but i am not very sure if they will limit the account or not if access from a different country or geo location.... but i believe they will since it says they keep monitor every account 27/7 for any suspecious activities... so i am sure they will limit the account soon... and ask for credit card statement to remove limits... so its better you let the person access it for you and send you the info you need....
The question arises where do you live. Then what are your source of funds Opening an account is easy because you just need an email to open an account and other than 4-5 countries where you need to have bank Account attached you can easily verify with VCC's but in case your account get's limited then you will be stuck as you need to resolve using the imaginary Address you used to create Paypal account. The best way for this is not to open up Paypal , check for other Payment Processors like E-Gold or moneybookers or take payments via Xoom.com
That's not an option... I need to manage the account myself. I've got MB but that's not an issue here, I need a PP account..
