Opened new account but they require me to add USA account?

[andreas]

Hi,

I just opened a new PayPal account from Spain and when I tried to add a bank account I can only submit a USA bank account?

I didn't verified the account yet with any documents no passport, utilitybill or credit card.. can that be why?

I send PayPal a ticket already asking them for the same, maybe some here knows.

What message did you get if you don't mind?

at least they responded within 24 hours as they promised. I read many people don't‌ get replies I got it in a timly manner 😉


Can somone please tell me what︉ this means? They want me to add my Visa debit card for my Cyprus bank︊ account and then I can withdraw `money from PayPal to the Visa card which then︋ get's into my account?

I have asked them too, will wait for their answer.

That's why all the people are asking for US bank accounts 😀 finally I got a‌ clue about it.. for every country that PayPal not support in regards to bank account‍ withdrawal and because of some sort of regulations they demand people to add an US⁠ bank account... and most people don't read the last part that if you add a⁤ Visa debit or credit card they can withdraw to their local bank account anyway!

@andreas thanks for the valuable information 😉

Yes that's how it works.. I just tested⁠ and it works.. OMG people are so stupid from time to time.. The whole Internet⁤ is full of stupid dumpasses looking for an US bank account just because they don't⁣ ask what it is about thu&¤#stupi#21

Thank you OP for bringing this to my attention otherwise⁢ I would not have trieddoh948""

Perhaps you didn't open the paypal account from a spanish IP because normally you can‌ withdraw the money to a spanish account. But spanish paypal acount means spanish company formation‍ papers.

I don't know if they are stupid but people just don't do⁣ action they read and believe what they read on the Internet.

I used a different⁢ IP than the country for which I opened the account, I had lots of corenspodance︀ with their support and nothing about any issues with the IP again I don't believe︁ that ever was an issue.. I have a fully working PayPal account now with option︂ to withdraw money.

True it was‍ not from a spanish IP. I sorted it out last night with PP.
