Paypal Credit Card Payment Processing Problem

Maybe get a prepaid debit visa card that can be reloaded for backup ?

Isn't it funny how their answer to you required being in the States but when you contact them you talk to an outsourced job position from a call center in the Philippines?? We have the same thing going with our paypal payments for advance bookings being deposited in our New York City bank account with an address attached to my wife's brother in Oakland, CA every 2 to 3 months they forward our USA mail to our Manila address where I pick it up from the local Paranaque post office. We have never used paypal for any payments so only receive payment thru them. I'm not sure but there might be some sort of way to answer a USA phone # by using a remote extension? I vaguely remember somebody telling me they could make a call from the Philippines but get USA cheaper phone rates years ago.

Sounds like you need a trusted USA proxy that you can VPN into, Andy. By connecting securely to a PC in the US, you'll essentially be conducting your Internet business like you're sitting in the States. Might resolve some of your PayPal, etc. issues.

Andy I dunno if this is the same as I had but in the UK I got a call like that and it just gave me a pin code to enter into the website to confirm that this was my phone number. Sounds like this might be different though. As Craig said, get a vpn and connect to a US server to make purchases, should stop the fraud protection kicking in.

Also I know you can have two paypal accounts, one business and one personal, so maybe having one for doing business essentials and another for more risky stuff that could potentially get your account froze.

Craig you said,
"Might resolve some of your PayPal, etc. issues."
I look at it as "our" paypal.com issues.

I have a dedicated server, and yes, I can put this on my dedicated server and stop an keylogging program, cache, or server that could log my user name and passwords to paypal.com.

Effectively solving my problems, but what about "readers."

I write blanket travel tips that help the whole group, not just the super smart.

Paypal.com just stopped 98 percent of my friends in Guatemala from being able to using Paypal.com.
