Oh my!!! This morning i was so excited to get my Paypal Account so i can have my money transferred from here to my account.I started on my Paypal but cant finish the application. I don't know why but Paypal is not accepting my zip code.It says it is not a valid Zip Code.But that is the valid zip code we have been using eversince. Have you any difficulty in signing your Paypal application?What you think is best to do in case like this.?

I did not encounter any problems when I opened my PayPal account. I just waited a couple of days though to get my refund when they charged my credits card in order to verify my account, but other than that, it went without a hitch. What part from the Philippines are you from? I think I put the zip code of the general area I live in, not the specific zip code of the place I live. I mean, I put 1100 which is the zip code of Quezon City, but the exact zip code of where I live in QC is 1101.

If your friend didn't encounter a problem, then your zip code should be okay. Have you tried doing it all over again. I mean, sign up from the start? If it still doesn't work, I guess you would really have to email PayPal about it.

I haven't experienced this. I suggest you to double check everything. Make sure that you entered the correct data. Try to check if the nationality you entered is correct. If my suggestions don't work, it would be better to contact Paypal. I'm sure they will help you on your problem. Happy lotting!

Sorry to hear this my dear. Just try it again or contact paypal thru twitter. I saw mylotters writing here that contacting paypal admin thru twitter is easier than contacting from the paypal site directly.

Make sure you selected your country first before entering the zipcode.

Wow, that is a bit strange, I don't know why it doesn't accept your zip code. I have you tried verifying it with the U.S. Postal Site, to make sure that they match. Sometimes that might help. I know that I had a similar situation, but not with paypal, actually with my Driver License. My zip code at home under my current home address is different in the U.S. Postal Service and when I went to apply for license the driver license division had the zip code different and until this day it is still different. I don't know why that is the case, but luckily when I signed up for paypal, I never had an issue with the zip code. I hope you're able to resolve the issue.

I would check to make sure that you entered in the right county and saved it and that the zip code entered is right. If all that is right i would check back later sometimes the systems don't respond all the time especially if you are changing information but if it is still not working i would email paypal because there maybe something wrong with there system and they should be able to help you. Also check there trouble shooting section it maybe something simple like not spaces or to many spaces. sorrry that's all i can think of hope it helps good luck

I would contact PayPal and ask them if someone can help you with the application. I myself did not have any problems. I don't have them mail me anything, I have all monies transferred to my savings account at the bank. All I had to do is get router numbers from my bank to put on the application.

call your local post office. if there is a difference they can assist you then you can reenter what you need for paypal and mylot. I am sure paypal and mylot would tell you to check with your post office. Sometimes they change a number and forget to tell the people living in the area. Hope it works out for you!
