    Paypal does not restrict their usage for US Residences only and you are expected to use your country issued credit card when you open up a Paypal account.

    For instance, if you are from India, you should add an Indian-issued Credit Card and if you are from South Africa, you are expected to add a South African-issued Credit Card.

    Basically, you cannot sign up for an Indian Paypal account and add a South African Credit Card.

    In short, you should use your locally issued credit card and sign up for a paypal account based on your country with all real information and not fake ones which other DP members are doing and finding that they got their account limited.

    You can use non-us credit cards with PayPal.com as long as the billing address of the card, matches.

    I have an international paypal account, I live in Mexico, works great. Just make sure you use your address. Don't falsify one.
