Why is Paypal Australia so strict compared to other countries?
Have experimented a little bit and have opened
Aus accounts
US accounts
UK accounts
European accounts
Now I have noticed the most difficult account to open and maintain has been Australian. Why is that?
Example, When i sign-up to an AU account. It asks if i am politically connected and it tries to Match/Verify my address by matching it with Ausposts System. When i opened a US and UK account. It doesn't even bother matching it with their postal systems and it asks less questions during sign up.
I have opened European accounts. (Non-UK) and they only ask for a credit card to verify the account while AU accounts need a Bank + Credit card to be able to verify the account.
it's kind of odd cos i thought out of all western countries. You think the US would be more stricter as Australia always seems to be a little behind in terms of security and technology.
