I don’t live in the us

My PayPal is now blocked and it’s telling me to confirm whether I’m a taxpayer in the US or not but I do not even live in the US?

Maybe set up new account with different email address. May have to get Hotmail or Gmail address. Good Luck!

Hi @Diamond420,

 

Thank you for your post and welcome to the PayPal community forum!

 

It sounds like the reason you're being prompted for information is due to FATCA regulations. Please take a look at the linked article for more information.

 

I would not recommend the solution provided by @Graga. Circumvention of PayPal's rules by opening a new account is a violation of the User Agreement, and will likely result in permanent limitation and the inability to use PayPal.

 

I hope this helps clarify!
