To Admin I posted this question a while ago but it did not show up for a while so I thought there was a computer glitch and I posted it again with a different title and changed the way I asked a bit. "Paypal: About International paying methods" (or something similar). I'm so sorry but the other post is more clear about my question so could you get rid of this post if there is no reply yet? and if there is already a reply please erace my other one (which will shortly show up I believe) I'm sorry again about the confusion. I did not mean to post twice... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi I am trying to use Paypal for my online business in Japanese market(I live in Canada). I have a paypal account already, created in Canada. I want a Japanese paypal account mainly because they offer accepting more payment options somehow (Like JCB Card). But I already have a Canadian account and there is no option to chnage my country. In Japanese Paypal's terms of service page, it says you can have only one business/premire and one personal accounts. At the same time it says to hold an account you have to have an address in one of the countries listed and it includes both Japan and Canada.This is in the Japanese Paypal's terms of service page and in the Canadian page for business account your primary residence have to be in Canada!! I'm so confused....maybe it's not a big deal to use my Canadian account since at least they accept Visa and Master Card, but in Japan a lot of people have JCB too so I don't want to lose potantial customers. Maybe it might not be reccomendable but should I hold 2 accounts with each country? What do you think? Thanks in advance.
These is a very complicated situation. I do not think you will get answer to this very specific question in public discussion forum. Probably you need to talk to the Japanese PayPal support team. If the Japanese PayPal does not share database with the Canadian PayPal and function independently, you may have to open a separate PayPal account for each and should be a business/premium account for each. If they share the same database and function as one it is going to be hard and you going to end up choosing one of the two because PayPal allows only business/premier and/or personal account.
Is it possible to make money off of international account to make money off of the ever changing currency?
