Verifying EU PP with a card from a different country with different currency
 

Has anyone successfully verified a stealth EU PP with a card in a different currency? For example verifying a French or British PP with a Hungarian card in HUF. Will pp see the card is in HUF and not in EUR and is it a problem, if the alter ego is Hungarian as well? Thanks!

PayPal would know it's a Hungarian card because the card number itself identifies the issuing bank and its location, however it won't matter because they will still let you add it without any problems.

Thank you for your response! Would this raise any flags for the account or it's all good and it doesn't matter? This is considering with the above example I only log in from British or French IP addresses.

Yes I have used VCC in all sorts of obscure currencies, not a problem

Thanks for the responses, guys! This would make opening new accounts way easier. In the above example I've given, would you choose a Hungarian name or a French name for a stealth French PP and EB? Obviously it would make more sense, if the person was an expat from the country, where his card is from.

There's limited info and mixed opinions about this, so I'd like to ask does pp see the address of the CC, which was used for verification? I know they can't see the name, unless I top up the acc, but what about the address?
