    Hello.

    i am a german, but i am now in the philippiens (unsupported country) for about 1 year. My legal adress is Germany, my paypal account is verified via my creditcard (german account) and my German Bank account.

    Question: Could it happen to me, that paypal blocks my paypal account, because they could think that i wanna cheat them (because of my ip-adress i am using right now)?

    just want to be sure!

    tnx

    If you did not know, Philippines is actually a supported country https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-approved-signup-countries-outside , check at the bottom of the page.

    Well, Paypal does not expect you to stay in your country and not travel at all. They cannot control your movement.

    However, whenever I travel, I will write to Paypal and tell them which country I would be and they told me that they will put a note on my account so as not to raise a red flag.

    If you have the travel documents and you be honest with Paypal and keep them updated, they will not lock your account.

    Hi p.q.! I'm in the Philippines too and I'm using my US Paypal here - Verified with US checking account and credit card. I've been using it for a couple of months now, and it's still working.

    well they will perform a secuirty check..

    i have a californian CC and verified ppl acct, but when i came here for vacation without alerting paypal, when i logged in my acct for paying for ome stuff i bought on ebay they asked my mmy CC number to verify it was me and later said that there was a login from a foriegn country(qatar) and asked me if it was me, obviusly i was visitng so i told them yes and authorized and finally nothing happened..

    i dont think they lock the account..though thye cud ask u ure german cc to vierfy that its the same person..
