Free registration at the forum removes this block.HOLA!!! That's what I had on my old laptop that was stolen. Worked great! Couldn't remember the name for some reason. Just tried Tunnel Bear and it didn't work... My Paypal is saying my device is not verified. Wants to call to confirm and wont except a foreign number. More hoops to jump through... Maybe I will call a trusted friend in the US to help. I will try again with Hola because it is a great service, but I think I will need a more permanent solution then tricking paypal with VPNs.
For now, can you get someone to log in for you, call someone you trust and do it over the phone,Hola didn't work... Now they don't recognize my device... I owe my supplier cash and he thinks I'm a bullshitter now. All the money I gave Paypal over the years and they leave me hanging like this...
Buy a VPN service, and then when you connect you'll appear to be in one country no matter where you are physically located.They want me to set up an account for each country I am in... But I travel constantly. Create a travel profile... I'm not allowed to.
How do you overcome the issue of logging in from a device that is not trusted?
Set up a VPS in the US and sign in to paypal through it.
For now, can you get someone to log in for you, call someone you trust and do it over the phone,
they connect from the US, and pay your supplier, then change the password.
after that, get a VPN server in the US, theag, has a point try it for a month,
see what happens then.
Sorry it didn't work, good luck....
Hola didn't work... Now they don't recognize my device... I owe my supplier cash and he thinks I'm a bullshitter now. All the money I gave Paypal over the years and they leave me hanging like this...
Jesus stop whinning. PayPal don't give a rats arse how much money you put through their site. All the moaning in the world does jack. What they are trying to do is make your account secure so you don't get ripped off from some overseas scammers. Yes it is inconvenient but you should have put processes in place before leaving the States. This is down to lack of preparation on your part not PayPals.
If your supplier doesn't understand your issue then you need a better relationship or a new supplier. Why can't you wire money from your bank? It's a standard banking process that all banks cater for surely.
I thought I added plenty of value. If that was the only preparation you made my comments still stand. Just be man enough to accept you weren't prepared. I am glad you got it sorted though.
I had my PayPal account put on stop a couple of weeks ago for 3 days. No reason given. Nothing out of the ordinary for PayPal. They are a law unto themselves. That might change when eBay break their ties but who knows. In the meantime it's wise to have other options in place so you are not caught with your pants down. We learn, we adapt, we grow and we move on.
Did you even read my recommendation? Seems like you didnt because it would solve your problem 100% for a few bucks a month. Get a windows VPS (=server) in the US, remote connect to it, and DONE. /thread
A VPS is something COMPLETELY different than a VPN by the way......
Some people just cant be helped.......
