I'm not sure what you mean about Stripe only accepting US payments, but Stripe will accept payments in over 135 currencies. The list of countries that they allow for merchants is smaller, currently 25 countries.
PayPal suspended my account for simply using a VPN while using PayPal on public networks. I've reapplied for an account several times and each times it's been denied. Someone working at PayPal even told me if I ever added money to my account they would hold it for six months. There have been stories where people in this subreddit have been told the same exact thing and have lost all of their money when they were supposed to have the chance to withdrawal it. This company is full of scammers and if you don't believe me check out https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.paypal.com and look at their ratings.
Why is this people stealing money if you google paypal the predictions are “stole my money” “block my account” “is a bad company” Im surprise their rank is one star as well
It's not a "parental account type thing" unless your parents set it up for you. Don't make it worse by trying to send an ID belonging to someone else. Just don't.
Ask your parents to set up an account for you, the right way: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_request-register-youth
Yes, PayPal subscriptions support trial periods. You would probably need to set this up via their API though, I don't think you can do it otherwise. Some more details here.
From PayPal's site. https://www.paypal.com/ie/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/sell/mc/mc_convert-outside
> The most readily available information on currency exchange rates is based on "interbank exchange rates". Interbank exchange rates are established in the course of currency trading among a global network of over 1,000 banks, and are not available through consumer or retail channels. Consumers may use these rates as a reference, but should not expect to use interbank rates in transactions that involve currency conversion. To obtain actual retail rates, contact your local financial institution or currency exchange, or check the rate displayed in your PayPal transaction.
Generally rates like the ones shown on the Bank of Canada page are the rates that the big banks would be able to obtain. Regular Joes will have to pay a somewhat higher rate, which is probably why the numbers differ.
As an example, try using the converter from your bank at http://www.bankofcanada.ca/rates/exchange/daily-converter/ and tick the box for the cash rate. That should give you a conversion closer to what PayPal have used.
I don't think buyer protection can be used to extort a partial refund from you due to the item arriving 2 days late. If the item is as advertised and received, I think you'll win a dispute.
Call Paypal.
https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/paypal-safety-and-security
This is a good question. I've always understood that there are only to reasons for a refund. Either the item is not received or it is not as described. I've never even heard of someone asking for a partial refund because it was delivered late.
looking at Paypal's buyer protection, I don't think a "late delivery" is covered. I would call paypal and ask, I think you'll win.
https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/paypal-safety-and-security
Oh no, they hook people with lies on youtube or google checking your internet history line with adds, and lie with their 5 stars raiting on app store because they use a trick to rate them high with just the option “rate us well” and there is no way to rate them lower unless you go to the store directory and write a review out their automatic add ones, but the fact is out these huge platforms people is angry about it check: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.paypal.com
> Use Stripe, use Cryptocurrency, Google Pay, Apple Pay, etc. Otherwise you are enabling this by staying on this platform.
> There are no fees to refund a charge, but the fees from the original charge aren’t returned.
Cryptocurrency transaction fees are not refunded in any major cryptocurrencies, as they do not offer a way to refund (only to create a new payment).
I can't find any information about Google Pay or Apple Pay.
You should read the PayPal User Agreement for your country. It is here for the US.
In particular for your question you want to check the Protection for Buyers section of the User Agreement. You have 45 days to open a dispute over a payment. I believe this is the same for most countries but you should check your country's PayPal User Agreement to be sure.
Man you have no idea how many people is suffering this, and these MF shutdown lines on my country so its IMPOSSIBLE to contact these thieves EVEN ebay dont want to deal with them, if you call ebay and mention Pp they will tell you its not their problem any more since 2020
> So I've never used PayPal but I've had it for awhile. I dont have a bank account so I plan on putting money on my PayPal using the moneypak feature. My first question is how long after can I use the money when I put it on my PayPal?
I'm not sure, but it will probably be a couple of days. I do suggest you open a bank account if possible, it can be to your advantage.
> This will lead into my second question. So I'm using PayPal to buy some shoes off of someone. I'm paying $300 for two pairs. He says it will be $300 flat if I gift but more for invoice because I'll have to cover the fees. He says if I choose to gift he'll give me references to prove he's legit but I'm more than welcome to invoice it. Second question: how much would the fees be? And how protected am I if he chooses to not send the shoes?
The fees would be 3% + $0.30, so a bit less than $10.
If you choose Gift, you are not protected. An invoice protects you. This is not a professional seller, so unless it is someone you absolutely trust, I'd probably say 'use the invoice method.'
> Some things to keep in mind: I'm putting money on my PayPal using the moneypak feature where you bring cash to rite aid and they put it on for you. This is my very first time using PayPal and I made the mistake of letting the seller know that (although he seems legit and has refs). Thank you!

It may be allowed for Japan based accounts. I wouldn't challenge them on it unless I could find out for sure that it's not. Here is the UA for Japan if you want to look for it: https://www.paypal.com/jp/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full
My guess is you've been involved in something dodgy - stolen cards, stolen steam keys, gift cards etc - and they've blacklisted your name. Opening up another three accounts would only confirm this to them. The only people who open multiple paypal accounts are those with businesses, or who are doing dodgy/criminal shit.
I'd go back to your first one and try and get that one sorted out.
This isn't a problem you can scam your way around. You have to follow their rules and wait for them to finish whatever they're doing and tell you what is going on.
If you have just tried emailing them, there is a page where you can get a code to input and call them. Go to this page while logged in and select the phone support.
There's an app called PayPal Here you can download that allows you to accept card payments directly into your PayPal, but they couldn't be flagged as gifts. Otherwise, you'd be limited to accepting payments from people who already have PayPal who could log in to their account and send money to you on the spot. https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/irs6050w According to this link, they're only required to report to the IRS if you receive over $20,000 in a year, so you should be fine.
> A few days ago I received an email telling me that a payment has been made from my account.
I bet you clicked the link to get to PayPal from that email? If so you just fell for the second oldest internet scam there is. Congratulations, you have just given your PayPal details to some random person on the internet who now will try to steal as much money from your account as possible.
Change your password asap. Go to paypal.com and change it, dont click any links.

I think this company just went nuts, due pandemics they are losing money or have huge debts and they start to steal money from users, sadly millions like you are on this illegal situation.
Im so sorry to heard this, half of the people on ebay I know already lost their paypal account this way, but is not only against you, millions of users are losing their accounts daily, the reputation of this company is now underground thanks to this. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.paypal.com
e.paypal.com is an official PayPal email. A good scammer can spoof it though so always be careful. PayPal uses your full name in their emails. That's one thing to look for.
More tips: How Scammers Target Your PayPal Account & How To Never Fall For It
Open a Delaware company, it's easy, can be done completely online, is very cheap, and doesn't take too long. I've personally gone through this process at a startup I was working for. Stripe even have a service to completely manage this process for you.
This will literally solve all of the problems you've mentioned.
Have you considered forming a US subsidiary?
It seems like https://stripe.com/atlas was more or less designed for "vendors across the world want to be able to easily accept credit card payments as though they were a US based vendor". Their fees are not $0 but, hey, it might help down the line to have a US corporation.
On one hand I agree, I prefer my passwords to be 25 characters or longer so the 20 character limit is somewhat annoying.
However 20 random characters from a set of 92 results in a password entropy of 102 bits. This is well into the range considered strong enough for financial information.
In the end if you're serious about your PayPal security you should be using 2FA/OTP, ideally via PayPal's security card. It's 30 bucks but it's by far the best you can do for login security.
Are you connecting through a free/paid VPN service (something like NordVPN, ProtonVPN, etc) that anyone can sign up for and use, or a corporate/hosted VPN that only a select group of people have access to?
If it's a free/paid VPN service, it could be:
- PayPal has had trouble with other users violating the terms that connected via that VPN service
- Some kind of geographical flags (i.e., you log in from New York and an hour later log in from France, then log in from California an hour after that)

one 3.5 stars the other 0.5 numbers talk plus here they answer people Pp seems to just steal your money and block your phone number once they do to make impossible ask for it.
Im sorry but they wont refound anything at the end of those 180 days they will take them with the trash excuse that is “the fee for damages to their company” none around was able to recover them thats why 90% of users are here and there claiming the same justice:
Be careful Paypal is a snake, they might acuse you with goverment if they suspect you are trying to avoid taxes even when thats not true, and limit your account to keep the wallet money as lots of people around here my recommendation use skrill wallet, compare ratings:
I think the only ones here around actually defend this corrupt company are the employees they send to justify the accounts holocaust they do to steal people money.
I wouldn’t buy ANY crypto or transfer money with a PayPal account. You should be deathly worried they will ban you and steal your money because that’s literally what they do. Just read the posts on redit etc
No PayPal runs a legal scam dummy do your research before you speak on what you don’t know. PayPal bans people holds the money and gains interest on it then they take it for “damages”. Just because I invest in crypto doesn’t mean jack stalker. Go look at PayPals 1.2 trust pilot score. Actually here for everyone to see.
Will tell you my paypal experience My 87 years grandma got blind this year she cant go bank or walmart anymore to get her goverment aid money, we open her a paypal account to get it there easily every month, she got permanently ban from it since “she is a high risk user for them” we call help line a guy barley speak english say thanks like 100 times in 5 minutes and laugh of us when ask how we could recover account or money inside and ended the call. Thats my Pp experience, then I google it and first prediction was this page:
No, ExpressVPN didn't try to log on. Unless you have given them your credentials they can't.
Do NOT use a VPN with PayPal, however.
I'd suggest you try scanning your devices (phone/computer/etc.) for malware too.
Your password was found in another breach and they were trying it and it worked. You only get the text message if the password is correct and since they did not have your phone they could not get in. Check out https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see what breaches you're in and stop reusing passwords.

You can probably put it in the about section on Twitch or create a donate card thingy.
The page here tells you how to text to PayPal and how to call. Don't text to PayPal until you have setup to do it.
I found most of my info from https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/credit-card-reader-how-to as well as http://usa.visa.com/contact/index.jsp
If you leave 15$ on the card, you will either need to spend that money within the expiration date listed on the card, or invest it elsewhere, off of the card, somewhere such as Paypal would work. Simply linking the funds will not prevent this. However, if you plan to spend the money before the expiration date, I would advise leaving it on the card itself. It allows more flexibility in your future purchases.
Enjoy
Unfortunately, you can only open 1 case on either eBay or PayPal per transaction.
You can change an INR to a SNAD in the event that you end up receiving your item and it isn't as described; but once the case is closed, you can't open another case.
https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/helpcenter/helphub/article/?articleID=FAQ809&m=SRE
If you funded your purchase with a credit card through PayPal, contact your CC issuer. They may be able to help you dispute your purchase for the defective item.
What country?
From the user agreement for US accounts:
"4.5 No Surcharges. You agree that you will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting PayPal as a payment method. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of goods or services as long as the handling fee does not operate as a surcharge and is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-PayPal transactions."
It's possible the seller requires a Confirmed Address. For many (most?) users, that is the billing address of a credit card. There is an alternate method to confirm addresses.
That may not be the problem but it is one reason that might happen.
Premier lets you accept debit/credit cards for payment and offers a PP debit card.
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/pop/choosing_account_type_signup-outside
If you just want it to buy things, Personal is fine.
While the PayPal debit card has a MasterCard logo on it and should be accepted everywhere MasterCard is I recommend getting into contact with PayPal directly to insure that you can use it elsewhere. You can contact PayPal support here: https://www.paypal.com/selfhelp/help/home
As has already been suggested it's also a good idea to let them know what countries you're visiting to avoid the card being 'locked' as they may think is has been compromised when they see the abnormal purchasing behavior.
Good luck and enjoy your trip!

Yes I heard a youtuber said this company acts like they are condemned and they are trying to steal as much as they can before it happend, here you can see the current rate they had last year:
Deppends on the country can be consider a crime or not, it’s supposed a company must have transparency, but Pp lie about everything the feedback they have on app store is a lie they have not 4.5 stars thats the feedback they had in 2016/2017 when they had their best rank, if you write a bad review under 4 stars they hide it, thats not transparent at all, their true rank on BBB is 1.3 stars and 1.2 on trustpilot. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.paypal.com
Listend I called BBB due this issue and they told they open a whole file just to all US people got this problem with this company, literally half of the people complaining lately in their messages came to complain about Pp stealing their money, you know whats the funny thing here? Pp stop a answering them as well, the BBB agent told me this company just shut down their lines to avoid explain this to BBB, so they are filling a whole case with millions of users Pp steal to proceed against this company, here you can check the company rate lately:
Belive me theres no only 2 more people there are millions dealing with this issue is one of the top google predictions from people dealing with this company
>https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.paypal.com
did you just say you thought their customer service was phenomenal lol?
are you really being serious saying this? this company has one of the worst customer service
Because their are stealing people money from any kind of bussines or account since pandemic started just look around the forum subjects or just google lt
Actually this company can close any account without any reason behind thats a fact and they are doing to millions of users, rated with 1.2 stars is one of the worst and corrupted company in the world: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.paypal.com
Do you and Garret use the same password for PayPal and other accounts? You can check websites like have I been pwned to verify if your details have been part of a breach and where.
Edit: typo
you can spread word here:
https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.paypal.com
Trustpilot is the most transparent site to review a fraudulent company and thousand of people go there daily to read and rate daily over them.
Its incredible how in just one year this company pass from 4.5 stars to nothing at apps reviews

Yes, you're just lucky. There's a reason PayPal has 14k negative reviews and a score of 1.2 on trustpilot. Most hopeless company I have ever had to deal with, and once they finally solve my issue so that I can get access to my money I will make sure to never use it again.
Paypal is mass blocking accounts and mass firing employees so its highly risk to put that amount of money there, paypal isnt the same thing anymore, to the point ebay will drop them next year, half people here already lost their cash with them. If you want a money transfer app wont screw with your money try Skrill Its a new generation ewallet just like paypal but...more secure.
Paypal can beat them if they turn back to their golden days when no need to beg for new users and people love their service but now they seems so arrogant... About options here around users mentioned Skrill which is like paypal but new generation money transfer and stripe which work like amazon you only pay the invoice/items with the card you chose:
no that's bullshit i just did a search on fb and twitter and many people complain about paypal.
their trustpilot reviews are terrible https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.paypal.com
File your claim with PayPal. When the item was shipped to you there should have been an address on the shipping label.
Did you read this page? http://www.gearbest.com/about/warranty-and-return.html
> In the beginning of Stripe, they didnt refund transaction fees but soon they changed that and have not went back on it.
Stripe's refund information page disagrees: "There are no fees to refund a charge, but the fees from the original charge are not returned."
They buried that option when they did the redesign last year.
Try this link for PreApproved Payments when you're logged into PP (US).
Putting aside the int'l aspect of the transaction, I'm not sure the PP Buyer Protection Policy covers retail purchases. Maybe there's some general MasterCard and/or debit card policy that would apply.
> Items Not Covered (Source: PP Buyer Protection Policy Source)
- Intangible items like digital goods or services, <snip> or items that violate our policies or eBay’s policies, anything you buy in person, or money transfers to friends or family.
Can you describe exactly what error you are seeing?
You can ship from this link, but you'll have to copy the tracking information. If this is an eBay sale, do your shipping on eBay!
You might be SOL. PayPal's Seller Protection does not cover digital goods. From their FAQ:
Why doesn't Seller Protection cover deliveries made in person, or intangible goods (such as digital goods or services)?
One of the most important requirements for coverage under Seller Protection is proof of shipment or delivery. Since deliveries made in person and sales of intangible goods do not have verifiable shipping documentation, we cannot currently extend protection for these types of transactions.
EDIT: Also, there isn't a PayPal transaction at all. I think you are pretty much screwed and left with a lesson learned, unfortunately. If you know who the person is, you can press civil charges in a lot of jurisdictions, but laws vary.
The way this was paid through your PayPal account was through a billing agreement with valve. If a payment method isn't specified on a billing agreement (you can go to https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_manage-paylist to manage your preapproved payments. As far as I know this is the only place to specify other than when the original agreement is being made) then they can try a different funding.
I understand it's frustrating to have been on hold for so long...sounds to me like you got transferred into a dead qeue, likely by accident. Curiously, though, what are you calling PayPal for? You said that steam admitted fault for continuing to bill you in this situation. The way that Steam took payment was through instant transfer, which means they received their payment already, and likely the company you have to pay back is PayPal.
>Cross border fees are 1percent
Cross-border fee is 0.5% from the US. https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/cross-border-and-conversion-fees#crossborder
>personal payments sent from a credit card are 2.9 percent plus 39
The payment was not personal, and it was sent from the buyer's paypal balance.
However, I've just realised something:
Standard transaction fee within the UK : 3.4% + 20p per transaction.
Adding the 0.5% cross-border fee gives 3.9% + $0.32, which is roughly $1.53. So I guess that's fixed.
Thank you, though.
When I linked my first CC to PayPal, I had to verify it before many sellers would accept it. I guess sellers can specify with PayPal if the charged amount has to be on the account or if it can also be linked to CCs?
To verify PayPal charged €1 to my CC and on my CC account I saw the charge with a short code in the charge description. I then had to enter that code at PayPal and then my CC was verified. The €1 was added to my PayPal account. As I read the FAQs now it has become 2 small charges but it's still with a code that you enter and the charge amounts are added to your PayPal account.

PayPal didn't end Bill Me Later they rebranded it as PayPal Credit.
From that page:
> > Why did Bill Me Later become PayPal Credit?
> In order to better service our customers, we changed the name of our credit service from Bill Me Later to PayPal Credit. This was to clarify that this is a credit line being offered by PayPal and Comenity Capital Bank.
and
> > How is PayPal Credit different from Bill Me Later?
> PayPal Credit is simply the new name for Bill Me Later. You will still enjoy all of the benefits of Bill Me Later, including great savings with special financing offers and the ability to buy now and pay over time.
In any case, Pay After Delivery is a separate service.
PayPal has a service called Pay After Delivery where they front the seller the cash and then collect from the buyer up to two weeks later. You can read about it here. This is a risk free service for sellers as PayPal takes on the collection risk. They don't extend this payment option to everyone for rather obvious reasons.
Virus/malware scan, be careful for spoof emails, report the unauthorized activity to paypal - https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/security/unauthorized-transactions

Yes, if you get the PayPal Business Debit Mastercard. Works just like any bank debit card, where it'll draw directly from your PayPal balance, or your backup funding if you don't have a balance.
400.65 USD is gross
Paypal have taken their fee off the top of it however it looks to have charged you at 4.9% +20p so you have been hit with a 1.5% cross border fee in addition to their regular 3.4% + 20p
cross border fee is based on where your buyer is located, table here: https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/cross-border-and-conversion-fees
eBay does something similar too, but at least eBay leaves you logged in for two days.
However, try this URL:

it's what I use to get past PayPal spam. You still logon, but go directly to your account.
Chargebacks are handled outside of PayPal by the card issuer, and are merely processed through PayPal. While PayPal can provide information on the chargeback, the end decision is with the card issuer.
>Chargebacks are initiated and handled by the buyer's credit card issuer - not by PayPal - and therefore will follow that company's regulations and timeframes. That said, PayPal often plays a role in resolving chargeback disputes.
https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/security/chargeback-guide
Even after I (unfortunately later) discovered that the company has a track record of purposefully, maliciously, sending incorrect items to buyers with the intent on exploiting the impossible return conditions for a refund?
You could try contacting them. You should never have a web site live unless it is complete, and that may well have influenced their decision. Give them a call, and see what they say?
Call them at the number on https://www.braintreepayments.com/contact
Yes it’s possible via Xoom however there are fees involved
https://www.xoom.com/mexico/send-money
You could also use Skrill which is free but it’s up to you to decide
https://www.skrill.com/en-us/siteinformation/fees/#send-money-receive-money
Other solutions like Apple Pay also allow you to link a bank account and transfer the money
Yes yes and not only there please check paypal own forum they are burning down the company, like people literally is crazy for answers there, and you can keep googling and see, check the last comments here

And in just 10 months:

And you can keep this forever.
Square and Amazon Pay are two easy to sign up for processors that refund transaction fees when payments are refunded. We may go with one or both of these options as a temporary measure.
However we are looking into a proper merchant account either through our US bank or through one of the major merchant account providers. No matter what bullshit PayPal spews it is not "standard industry practice" to steal the transaction fee when a refund is processed. If they're stupid enough to try this shit in the EU I look forward to PayPal getting pounded into the dirt over it.
As I said above, PayPal can die in a fire. I hope they do, and soon.
In what capacity are you using Invoice Ninja?
Their web invoicing app:
https://www.invoiceninja.com/invoice-ninja-explained/
This should be easy, you just plug in your PayPal mail address, if I remember correctly. I tested out a lot of these online invoices apps and gave IN a spin once.
I'm not sure what stage of "working to" you're at but if still planning take a look at this:
Stripe basically handles US incorporation, US bank accounts, etc for you. It's pretty new so if you've been with Stripe since closed beta you may have missed it.
https://wise.com/us/blog/paypal-currency-conversion-rates
The conversion rate is different if you’re buying something as opposed to doing a transfer because the PayPal fees are included in the conversion
Open a bank account and have your employer pay you by bank transfer. If your employer is abroad open a Wise account so they can pay by domestic bank transfer i.e. USA, UK, SIN - then you can transfer to The Philippines and withdraw to local bank account. Probably much cheaper than PayPal too as Wise's fees are considerably lower.
and the reason why >One of the most important requirements for coverage under Seller Protection is proof of shipment or delivery. Since deliveries made in person and sales of intangible goods do not have verifiable shipping documentation, we cannot currently extend protection for these types of transactions.
Hmm, that's different than what this says https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/security/buyer-protection-resolution
According to that page, you have 20 days to work it out amongst yourself, and if you can't, you can escalate it if you choose to. Paypal doesn't automatically escalate it. Am I reading it incorrectly?
When you ship the item, the shipping company will offer you tracking information. Typically it's a dollar, but that depends on what country you're in.
Estime the shipping using the PayPal shipping calculator, and then you'll get a (pretty close) price at your shipping company. Include this in your price, and I'd even put the breakdown into your invoice as more proof: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/get-started/shipping-calculator
You apparently do not know much about chargebacks.
Chargeback rules vary widely from country to country and from card issuer to card issuer. For example, did you know that in some locations there is actually no time limit on filing chargebacks?
Winning chargebacks is far from a guaranteed thing and PayPal has relatively little say in the matter. It's very, very different to a PayPal dispute. Here is PayPal's FAQ on chargebacks.
> If you used the send money tab there is no protection and you won't be eligible to get your money back.
This is only true if you send the money as a gift. Source.
Gift cards, game codes, and similar items are a bit of a gray area with PayPal. PayPal only provides protection for "physical, tangible good[s] that can be shipped". Certainly product codes can be shipped (and as a seller you should always ship them, not just send emails!) but of course most people don't ship them and most buyers don't want to wait for them to be shipped.
In any case, the issue of an item being shipped or not is different from the payment method, and as long as he didn't send the money as a gift he has PayPal protection.
I just figured it out.
I installed Zenmate, a VPN. Restarted Brave enabled a U.S ip address went through the process again to order my ledger and when I hit paypal checkout some random hotmail address showed up.
It's server side. Thank god.
It is definitely a stolen account, I would advise not using it. Never buy from those instant delivery shops, they sell stolen accounts.
If you need a legitimate VPN subscription on the cheap, Stacksocial always has deals for lifetime subs for $20-30. I have been using Ivacy for almost a year now and it's great:
At the start of the year, I invested in a good VPN with Private Internet Access. PayPal are now asking me for official documents to prove my identity, and though it appears that not much will happen if I don't prove my identity I am considering making a new account.
Hola IPs (and any other free service's IPs) will be blacklisted.
You either need to set up your own VPN to your home or office or use a VPN that gives you a unique IP. The free services like Hola are shared by thousands of users and are not suitable for services like PayPal. Usually I would suggest StrongVPN but they do not have servers in Spain.
I did eventually get this sorted. The promo required a single purchase of $10 or more.
Not $9.99.
Not multiple <$10 purchases.
I ended up buying BackCountry Navigator TOPO GPS ($11.99). $1.99 for a 4.5 star $11.99 app shareable to my Family Library!
