Any experience opening stealth in these EURO countries?
 

Hello,

I am looking into creating more European based accounts.

I have easy access to US bank accounts so I am targeting the countries where Paypal allows adding a US account.

Does anybody have any experience creating & running stealth accounts for the following countries:
IRELAND
LUXEMBOURG
GREECE
FINLAND
HUNGARY
SLOVAKIA
CZECH REPLUBLIC

Any pointers is appreciated. I am researching and compiling all the info I can get.

thx

the above and alot more countries, actually almost all inc. UK allow US banks BUT some important info I can give is that it has to be REAL US bank acc, vba are no good and all the card type banks for withdrawal eg walmart no good either. This is a recent development.

Thanks oompa

how do you add real US bank to UK paypal? I have never seen that option? I can only enter a sort code and account number

are you running stealth accounts in any of these countries?

It might be at the very beginning pages when you form it when they ask your country of origin at paypal.

Not always there these days the ability to add a USA bank account.

:deadhorse:

agree GB, hardly ever looked on UK, I do know in the past I saw US option, when I have time I will look on a newer UK paypal and see if there is the option....

Used to be there.

Like I said, not seen it for weeks.

:typing:

lemme look on a couple of euro ones and get back to you...

If you read the forum you might have noticed it is also mentioned that the means to add a USA bank account appears removed from some countries' paypals

It is a difficult time for users hoping to add US bank account

:brushteeth:

I am going to try a couple of euro accounts and report as well.

re-checked - the euro option is there, but if you add a vba/card bank there is an error message....if you add a real USA bank, IDK, maybe try that........my advice to OP is there is no real advantage in having a non domestic account, unless there is some business reason, eg. you want to look as though located elsewhere.....

Getting increasingly difficult to add US banks to non-US based PP's ...period - even up here. I think it might be a move to REALLY force PP's horrible currency exchange rate on the hapless users who receive USD but must change it for the country banks...

Thx oompa. Which euro country did you try?

I have tried uk and fr and could not add us bank account ( no options to do so)

update for UK, new paypals have NO option to add USA bank...

Some europe new ones still have option, but withdrawable card type vba not working, must be real usa bank...and this is recent, you used to be able to, but loophole closed

all tested by me...

Wondering about Luxembourg these days...

Yes, I said that above.

Been testing this for weeks as well.

To grasp the whole situation, you need to read this thread

Slowly spread over the different platforms.

Before year's end, it will be worse.
