Screw you Paypal..

[theducks]

Due to security reasons, PayPal only allows one country address per PayPal account. When moving from country to country, you must close your existing account and open a new account in the country where you are residing.

Sigh. Of course, I don't have a Canadian credit card, which means I won't be able to open a Canadian PayPal account, and I think I can bet my ass that they won't let me open a Canadian PayPal account with an Australian credit card..

Which means, I suspect, my eBay purchases will have to go via Australia.. bleh.

Surely, SURELY in the effort it took them to write that statement, they could have added a "change country" feature.

does paypal let you use prepaid credit cards? i know you can buy prepaid mastercards at shoppers, i think in $100 amts but then you can refill them online.

or what about linking your bank account to paypal?

Do Canadian banks have the debit Mastercard thing going yet? Why am I thinking I had a debit Visa through the RBC there... I might not have. That could be a way to get around it.

This might sound like a silly question, but can't you just open a new paypal account with a different email address? Doesn't get you past the lack of credit card though...
