I was born and raised in the US and made the first account when I was seventeen. I verified it a year or so later and used it to sell on eBay. Nothing big, games, dolls and things we don't use at home anymore. After a while, I had to move to France alongside my parents. When I got there, I knew I won't be able to use a US-based account, so I thought of making a new one with the same identity (my actual identity) and it worked. I didn't use it much and then we had to move elsewhere, so I now possess three accounts in my own identity but based in three different countries. The one I use myself in the time being, and the other two (France & US based). In case you're wondering if you're going to lose the money, or I'll be able to withdraw the money once you put it then, I tell you that credit cards I used to verify them are deactivated a long time ago.
I did think of closing each of the accounts, but when I found out that people who are unable of getting a bank account for a particular reason are buying them, I thought of making a few quick bucks out of them.
