Hello folks.
Little intro first: (you can skip to the question below)
I'm a frequent ebay.com user and you know they use paypal.com as a payment method. It is actually the best way to pay. Anyways I was travelling some time ago and tried to access my paypal to pay for something. Paypal detected that I'm accessing my account from a different country and asked me to verify myself and I did and was able to use the account. I travel often, and yesterday I found my paypal account limited(I can' pay) because they noted that I accessed from a foreign country. They asked me to verify myself and one of the steps was to answer an automated call from paypal website to my home phone registered with them. I couldn't do this as i'm outside the US, and I really needed to pay for an ebay item so I called them. I talked to them and they said you can only use paypal in approved countries. I told them that I understand this and all am trying to do is to access the account and pay! The account is US based, and I just trying to use it while outside the US.....I mean that's the whole idea behind the internet.....it is international. The guy on the phone said: NO, you should only use it and access the website from an approved country !!!!! I told him that I have done it before while I was travelling.......!What is the problem now! He kept on saying you can only use paypal in an approved country..........Please wait tell you come back to the US !!
This is annoying ! I mean you should be able to use your services while anywhere..........It is just like one'e email, what is the point if you access it in one country!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The question is how do I access the paypal website and make it appear to them as if i'm in the US ? is this possible? Maybe if I use these anonymous services? or maybe if I connect my laptop to the dial up service I use in the US?
Maybe there is an easier way?
Please help. I buy alot from ebay, and I travel alot. What should I do?
