What if adding a bank account isn't an option?
You can't open a bank account in another country when you're not there.
And even when you are there, there may be problems for a non-resident to open a bank account.
There are many people outside US/UK who want a US/UK eBay account, because eBay is dead in their country lol!
It seems that everything has problems.
People here say that everything cannot work and will get the accounts linked and suspended.
1) Using a prepaid card/ moneycard
2) Using freelancer sites
3) Paying your own website
4) Sending funds to your main Paypal
Perhaps using the most direct and open way is the safest?
That is option 4 - Sending funds to another Paypal linked to bank.
Paypal can see exactly from where to where the funds are going and this openess may make them feel more secure and less suspicious.
As compared to operating like a snake and leaving many gaps for PP to fill in.
I think there are a few ways to make this transfer appear "valid" and unsuspicious.
1) Pay a fixed sum at the end of the month every month and state that the payment is for rent. I don't think paying your rent through Paypal at the end of every month is fishy. Of course, the amount has to be a rent amount and will work for larger sums.
2) Pay an irregular sum at semi-irregular times and state that it is for repayment of a personal loan.
3) Pay a fixed sum at a fixed time of the month and state that it is for the payment of nanny services (or whatever services). You can make this mid month if you are paying the rent end of month so you can spread out your payments and distribute cashflow.
You can also pay irregular payments at irregular times. Say that its for dog boarding, etc. You need to stick with the same service. Your main account person is less suspicious if he has just one occupation.
You can use all of the above for 3 different accounts paying into one account, but I don't think one account can wear many more hats.
So you can have 4 PP accounts with only 1 bank.
Then you need another withdrawing PP account and you can use the rent, loan and whatever services like dog-sitting, nanny, nursing, etc. These services have to be for personal service that are usually offered by people without a business can offer. Don't say a service like food catering, etc. that are usually run by a business because your account isn't registered as a food catering business, I'm sure.
What do you think of these ideas?
