Can't buy a Simon card, other ways to confirm?
 

Hi,

Just got unlucky after buying an item on eBay using my US PayPal account :(
And now my PP is limited...
The problem is, I no longer live in US, so I can't confirm my address.
I can probably call PP and explain the situation, but then they will probably close my account, transferring funds to my US bank account. And I will lose my US PP, but I don't want that to happen.

So I tried buying a Giftaccount from Simon, but they only accept credit cards with US address on them for payments. As I said, I have a US bank account, but address on my card is international.

Could anybody suggest a workaround?

Thanks,
Sergey

i m locked like you :/

same trouble for me, need to verify the adress... but it s an stealth account for me :/

Are the accounts US accounts?

Send me a pm if the info is sensitive :ranger:

Yes, US PP account linked to US bank account. But I'm no longer living at the specified address. So that leaves either adding a bank account or CC. I guess, the latter is much easier to do. PMed lakeman for a VCC, awaiting his reply.

OK, I created an EntroPay account and verified it.

Currently I have a real Russian address on it.

Do I need to change my Personal Details in EP to the US address I have with PayPal in order to add EntroPay's card to my PP account?

Cause when I try to change address it says:
Please, advise.

Unfortunately, lakeman's VCC didn't work for me.

So I went ahead and added my BofA card as a second funding source, specifying US address I have with PP as a billing address... and my EntroPay account was put on hold :(

I'm somewhere between mad and desperate now :tears: Isn't there a way to confirm my PP? There must be one!

UPDATE:

Just got an email from EntroPay:

Is the acount already bank verified?

I sent you a pm, btw...

Yes, that's an old bank verified account that even has a PayPal seal, but they limited it anyway.

PM sent.

First Edition,

Sorry, I can't keep all communication on the forum. I have a 6 PM per day limit. Waiting till 7:17PM (local time?) to send a PM to you.

I feel like an idiot. After spending an enormous amount of time on this, I finally called PayPal, explained my situation in a few words and a guy on the other end removed the limitations from my account no questions asked!

Hope this will help somebody :)
