Accessing Account From Another Country

[Zabiyiah]

Can I access my PayPal account or make payments using my PayPal in a different country other than the one I opened it in? I travel frequently and need to make payments. Will my account be blocked if I am making a payment in a totally different country I have travelled to?

You may well have problems as Paypal is country specific. When you try and access your account in another country Paypal security will kick in to make sure your account has not been hijacked and being used by a scammer in another country.

As long as you have the phone with you that is linked to your Paypal account they 'should' be able to verify its you BUT my advice is that you contact customer services BEFORE you leave and let them know and ask what you need to do so that their are no issues.
