Most of the people rely and loves PayPal. Their online payment security system really makes online transactions fast and easy. Unlike other online payment methods PayPal make your online transactions happen with just a login and password. PayPal is widely accepted and is used by over 100 million users around the globe and monitoring that many users for fraud control is quite difficult.
Why PayPal Lock Your Account
Like many other Banking institutions, PayPal uses fraud and security automation to minimize their workload to some extent. But, unfortunately at times, their automation creates problems when you try to access your account overseas from a different IP address. PayPal takes it as identity problem and accuse you of being some else and you need to convince them you are not.
Unlike other banks, PayPal do not believe on what you say, they have typical lengthy procedure and documentation to be fulfilled before unlocking access to your account and obviously this will require time. You will need to provide them with whatever information they ask for. This may include scan copies of your personal information and copies of all previous documentations.
Prevent PayPal Account From Freezing Abroad
If you are a business man, tourist or travel quite often, there is a simple and quick solution to avoid your PayPal account from such blocks and limitations. PayPal fraud detection is mostly based on identifying your IP address (your country and city). You can easily control your IP location, no matter where you are on the earth, with VPN.
Almost every day we have customers asking for VPN connection after they find out their PayPal account is locked or limited when trying to access it overseas and it requires days to unlock it. They find themselves helpless and very inconvenient as they need to pay for their hotel rents, dues, shopping and other expenditures.
We suggest signing up for a VPN account before you travel abroad. For instance, you are an American travelling abroad and have intentions to use your PayPal account abroad for payments. Now, what you need to do is, connect your VPN account, selecting USA VPN server and then login to your PayPal account couple of times without purchasing anything. PayPal fraud prevention script will enroll this new IP address as a friendly IP and let you access your account from anywhere around the world via VPN.
