money people outside usa use paypal as their primary money processor. when i first tried to sign up there was no other option to fill in the address bar other than usa address and states. that's weird because you can see on paypal website that they support business with many other countries.   so should i scratch the idea of using paypal balance and use the linked visa as the preffered payment method instead? ...

 my account got a limitation because i seem to have entered an invalid SSN when trying to transfer money from my visa to my paypal balance.   it is telling me now to provide proof of my SSN and bailling address but i live outside the usa. i live in egypt, as you know you have to provide a U.S address when you sign up to paypal. so clearly the bailing address currently registered in my account is not where i live.   also i don't know how to provide the SSN/TIN or what the egyptian equivilant of it. please shed more light on this.   i know that i can still make purchases online using paypal since the limitation is only on "adding funds to my account" and my linked visa card is valid. ...
