I've been trying to make a PayPal account, but when trying to set it up it became limited as I could not prove proof of address. I'm currently temporarily living with my mother, and I previously lived with my father but the house burnt down, so I have no permanent address at the moment. My question is, do you need to have a house in your name to get past the limitation? My mother handles the bills, and all the paperwork is in her name, so I have nothing to submit to clear the limitation.
I am also wondering, since I most likely won't have any address in my name for a few years, will this risk my account getting permanently limited? I fear because of factors out of my control I won't be able to ever use PayPal.
Thank you.
