Last year I tried to set up a PayPal account in Costa Rica. Though I live in the United States, I also have two little casitas in Costa Rica along with a bank account. Though I tried and tried, it just never would let me get through all the steps to create the account. I was in Costa Rica when I did it and I tried to get customer service to help me, but alas my Spanish is only so good on the phone. I then tried emails and PayPal tried to figure it out to no avail. Then I tried to set up the Costa Rica PayPal account when I got home to U.S. and apparently it looks at your IP address and I needed to be in Costa Rica to set up a PayPal account there? Does any of this sound familiar to this group and perhaps have some suggestions?
