yes . You need a US address. if you do not have a friend there , get a PO box, it is enough.
Then with the po box, go to a bank , and you will need your passport etc etc. I did not elaborate , I just said I spend time in the usa on vacations , and spend time in canada. I personally found it very easy.
You now have a us address and a us bank caat - chequing and savings - free of fees - both legit.
You will get a debit visa that will be sent to your PO box, so you will need to pick that up and then call in from your phone to activate it.
After this request all to be online paperless, and you can cancel the po at that point.
I initially did this for amazon, but afterwards thought I would open an ebay with this info , and did so from my home laptop. No problems at all and even though my other ebay accounts have been taken down right now, this is the only one still up and running. I am not listing anything on it right now, though it is selling on the GTC listings.
I would not be surprised if it were to come down at any minute though , as I did not protect it in any way when I set it up at first - was ignorant of all this that I have learned on this forum at that time.
I wish I had opened several walled off ID's on that CC address now looking back. |
