I think if PayPal were open and warned people of trying to use the service out of their territory it would help. I had to chase round the houses and call the Irish call centre from South Africa before I weedled this out of them.
Strangely I've just received an email from PayPal saying my account is now up and running again after I provided verrification. I don't think so - I'm still in South Africa and so could not provide copies of the documents they are seeking. Anyway - I won't complain to them about it.

Had to close one PayPal account (had to wait for credit to be used up) then open another... have to do this every time I move countries (which is actually quite frequently).
PITA!
