Mmm, I just purchased a VPS with American IP. (Unique IP)
What about that?
PayPal would most likely be able to notice that your IP address is a server IP. I use similar IP monitoring for lead verification. Think about what PayPal is going to think if somebody is checking their account through a server - what type of person would do that?
Is SSN verification essential now? I have few accounts verified with vba + avsvcc.
When you verify your PP account, PP gives an option of providing your SSN or adding a credit card to remove the limits. You can add either one. But if you start selling and start getting closer to 20k a year or 200 items I believe PP will ask you for your SSN
