There is no doubt that Paypal
is the largest and best known payments processor on the internet worldwide.  While Paypal
has proved to be a Godsend for many internet users worldwide, it is no secret that Paypal
has equally been a nightmare for a lot of other internet users.

 

If you conduct a search on the internet with Paypal
as the subject, you are bound to encounter several complaints about Paypal
ranging from cashbacks to limitations placed on several accounts. This has led several internet marketers and users to give up on Paypal
and start using other payment processors like Liberty Reserve, Alertpay, Webmoney, C-gold etc.

 

The truth is that while some of these payment processors offer an alternative to Paypal
they have certain limitations.

1.  They have not attained the level of credibility accorded to Paypal
.

2.  They are not as widely used like Paypal
especially in the USA where more than a third of internet users reside.

3.  The ownership structure of some of these processors is not clear.

4.  Some of these processors reside in countries where regulation is lax or non-existent.

 

Having highlighted the above, I would like to point out some reasons why you will not be able to operate a Paypal
account successfully.

1.  Paypal
is particular about the country you are based in for several reasons of which the chief is internet fraud. For this reason many counties remain banned from Paypal
or are limited in what they can do with a Paypal
account. If you are based in a country that does not enjoy free access to Paypal
or that is out rightly banned, it is possible to open, verify and operate a Paypal
account but you must be careful of your IP address. It is through your IP address that Paypal
can trace from which country your are visiting their site from.

     Therefore you need to be able to mask your IP address or find an internet connection that has an IP address from a country that is not banned.

     Never ever visit your Paypal
account from an IP that originates from a banned country e.g. Nigeria.

 

2.  Since you opened your Paypal
address with a virtual address that is not in the country you are based in, you need to avoid as much as possible buying physical products that need to be delivered to you physically with your account. This could trigger off wrong signals since the address is not an address that is traceable to you.

    Except your virtual address is real i.e there is an arrangement with company providing the virtual address to forward your mails to your address, then its no use buying physical goods with you Paypal
account.

 

3.   Do not bother to request for the Paypal
Debit card even if you are found to be eligible by Paypal
. The card has to be mailed to you by Paypal
. Now if your address is not reachable it will be returned to Paypal
. Of course, you know Paypal
will want to know why the card could not be delivered to its owner.

      Use your Paypal
account to pay and receive payments only. Leave other fancy features for others.

 

4. Definitely you did not use a credit card issued in your country to verify your Paypal
account. Therefore, like most others you verified your account with a virtual credit card that is not reloadable and would have expired after some months. You would therefore find it difficult to load your account with your country issued credit card.

    It simply means that you can only load your account with another card issued in the country which you chose for your Paypal
registration OR use any of these Paypal
account funding options listed here.

 

Now that you know some of the reasons that can get your Paypal
account banned or limited, be careful how you use your Paypal
account.

 

Now if you don’t have an account yet, don’t be afraid to open one as you can successfully open, verify and operate a Paypal
account from almost anywhere in the world.
