You can't open a U.S paypal account if you don't live in the U.S.


When you click to register a paypal account there is a drop down list of countries with U.S being the default top option as Paypal is a U.S company.

You then have to scroll down and click on your own country to open the correct Paypal account for that country.

You can't use another countries Paypal account as it would never work properly and would soon be limited.

If you have opened a U.S paypal account by mistake then you need to remove anything you have added and close it (if you can) and then open one for the correct country you are in.
