    Hello dear forumers,

    I need your qualified suggestions on this one. I am from the country where PayPal allows to open accounts, but only to send money which is good for buying something.

    But... when it comes to selling it says I cannot accept payments, because of my country. Ok, now the question : will having the USA bank account with me being citizen of my country help for PP allowing me to accept payments from other people?

    Not sure what your trying to do..This is what you can do..

    Make a US account, it can accept money without a credit card, then get a VCC from someone and verify it..Then you can send that money to other people..So there for you can both accept and send money..But you wont be able to pull the money out since you don't live in the USA..

    Hello,

    If you are not from USA, you can not open a bank account online. You must to travel to USA to open a bank account, or take a look around etrade dot com, they have something similar to a checking back account....

    If you are from a country which is not permitted by Paypal to receive payments then no matter what you do apart from moving to US, you will not be able to receive funds based on their terms and conditions.

    The country you are in would determine your status and not where your bank account is.

    I'm English, living in Spain, but still have a bank account in England.

    I've got an account with PayPal UK and use it when receiving
    payment for some things on my website. Have had no problem
    with PayPal transferring funds to my English bank account.
    Then, it's up to me to decide whether to leave the money in
    England or transfer it out to Spain.

    Don't know if this helps with your problem at all.

    I suppose it all depends on whether you can get "verified" etc.

    Hi,
    Is there any other way for me, if I happened to be in a country that approved by Paypal, besides opening a US bank account? Perhaps standing instructions for Paypal to transfer the money to a bank account?

    Regards,
    Josh
