Hi...first you need to only post this once..please remember that for the future...also put up a flag so we know where your from...

This has been discussed..Ive read its a bit of work...try INGDirect...

The thing with ING is they only want US customers, people out of the US they can't help. But you can try it if you want.

There are a few prepaid cards that you can use a bank account for Paypal. Search the forums for more details.

No, they won't. I use proxies from the US while in Japan and the accounts are still up after 3+ months.
