Cannot verify email - Canada

I live in Canada, and I'm trying to get set up my account. I can't verify my email address because when prompted to put in my address, the only options are US state and US ZIP Code. Any Canadians know how to get around this issue?

If you are being prompted for U.S information then you have opened a U.S account.

U.S is the default country as paypal is a U.S company so when you register you have to click on the drop down box (or flag) and select your own country and open a Canadian paypal account.

A U.S one is useless to you, best close it if you can removing anything you managed to link and open the correct countries paypal account.

Stop trolling other folks threads, doesn't help them at all and very selfish.

May get your forum account banned but would make no difference to your paypal account.

Try contacting CUSTOMER SERVICES if you want to talk to them.
