    I hope you heard for term "virtual office",but I am sure that many of you don't need it anyway.This may be interested to internet marketer which country is not on the paypal sign up list.Surfing the net I found virtual office as the only solution to create paypal ,clickbank ..accounts for not allowed countries.
    I want to know if that's really working that way.Did anybody do it successfully?If the answer is yes ,which virtual office provider do you use?
    Thank you!

    I don't like virtual offices at all. I think most of the time it comes off as very unprofessional when someone picks up your phones and they aren't even in the same office as you and knows what is going on with your clients that day. For instance if a client is upset and you tell them to call and all of a sudden they get into an argument with a dollar a day virtual office assistant this can hurt your business and destroy your reputation without you having any type of control.

    I completely agree with you,but not having paypay account is really annoying and restrictive factor to my online business.I am sick of it.Should I move out my country?! :).Possibility to my country get accepted to paypal in couple years is very little.I will be satisfied to pay virtual office service only to be able to create and use premium paypal account.

    My friend did use virtual office for his online business. But I think the results are not that encouraging.

    A word of advice from someone who used to process hundreds daily through paypal, I would find another service as I use Google Checkout now and it is 10x more secure than Paypal. There is probably a service available in your country that is better than paypal.
