How to register a PayPal account with your residential IP?

In the globalized digital age, PayPal, as a leading online payment platform, provides great convenience for cross-border transactions. For users who want to conduct business or personal financial management in the US market, it is particularly important to have a US PayPal account. However, registering a US PayPal account often faces certain geographical restrictions and identity verification challenges. This article will detail how to use residential IP (taking 98IP as an example) to register a US PayPal account, helping you overcome geographical barriers and easily enjoy PayPal's global payment services.

I. Understand the basic requirements for registering a US PayPal account

1.1 Geographical restrictions and identity verification

PayPal has different registration requirements and policies for users in different regions. US PayPal accounts usually require applicants to have proof of residence in the United States, bank account or credit card information, and a valid US phone number.

1.2 The role of residential IP

Residential IP refers to the real, dynamically assigned IP address assigned to home users. Compared with data center or commercial IP, it is more difficult for platforms such as PayPal to identify it as a virtual or proxy service. Using residential IP to register a PayPal account can greatly increase the registration success rate and reduce the risk of account restriction or ban.

II. Select and configure 98IP residential proxy

2.1 Choose the right residential proxy service

98IP is a company that provides high-quality residential proxy services. Its proxy network covers many countries and regions around the world, including the United States. When choosing a 98IP residential proxy, please make sure to choose a residential IP located in the United States to meet the registration requirements of PayPal US accounts.

2.2 Configure proxy settings

• ​Get proxy information​: Get the IP address, port number, username and password of the residential proxy you choose from the 98IP official website or client.
• ​Configure browser or operating system​: Configure proxy information to browser settings, operating system network settings, or specific applications according to your needs. Make sure that all devices and software that need to access the PayPal website are connected through the proxy.
  
  

III. Steps to register a PayPal US account

3.1 Prepare necessary registration information

• Proof of residence in the United States (such as utility bills, lease agreements, etc., although they may not be directly required during registration, they are prepared for subsequent identity verification)
• U.S. bank account or credit card information (virtual bank account services or international credit cards can be used)
• U.S. phone number (virtual phone number services can be used)
  
  

3.2 Visit PayPal official website

Visit PayPal official website through the configured 98IP residential proxy. Make sure that the browser does not have any plug-ins or features that may expose the real IP address, such as VPN, ad blocker, etc.

3.3 Fill in registration information

• ​Personal information​: Fill in personal information such as name, date of birth, address, etc. according to the prompts. The address should be consistent with the proof of residence you prepared.
• ​Contact information​: Enter the US phone number and email address you prepared.
• ​Bank account or credit card information​: Add your US bank account or credit card information as required to complete identity verification and fund binding.
  
  

3.4 Complete identity verification

PayPal may require you to perform additional identity verification steps, such as SMS verification code, email verification code or bank account verification. Please ensure that all information you provide is accurate and verifiable.

IV. Precautions and risk management

4.1 Keep your account active and compliant

• Log in regularly and use your PayPal account for transactions to keep your account active.
• Comply with PayPal's usage policies and regulations to avoid illegal operations.
  
  

4.2 Stability and privacy protection of proxy services
