Is it advisable to link an Offshore bank account to Paypal?
 

So Paypal has banned like about 3 of my accounts already. Now I have new ones which I plan to run with cautiousness. I, however, have run out of bank accounts because the bank accts I currently have were linked to the blocked Paypal accts. I am thinking about opening an online bank acct or offshore bank acct because I really would not like to open another physical bank account.

Anyone here ever used a bank account other one opened at a physical bank for your Paypal linking?

The only bank accounts you can add are US based ones. Nothing offshore will work.
Also, nothing you open online will be good since most of them are used and abused. Banks like ING and Capital 360 are all blacklisted.
Don't be lazy. Go to a real bank and open new accounts. Its simple easy and fast. And thank your lucky stars youre in the US and have access to literally hundreds of difference banks you can choose among.

Slowly close out the ones that are burned and open a new one in its place. Most of the bigger banks you can do this online.

Or perhaps OP is lying about his flag...

I am not lying about my flag. I am in the US. The issue I am having with opening another bank acct is the fact that banks require you to have a minimum balance in it or have a direct deposit coming in every month for you to operate the account free of charge. I am not a very high earner and so cannot afford to just leave an account dormant over a long period while getting charged by the bank.

If you cannot afford a few dollars for that sort of fee then you have far more serious issues...
Takes money to make money and this is just a cost of doing business...

Most major banks now offer very simple checking accounts for free. I think chase liquid is like $4.95 a month. They are geared towards people who do everything online, rarely call customer service and never go into the branch for frivolous things.
