Hi,
Being nonresident US citizen from an unsupported country I was able to get my Stripe up and running without a hitch. (I signed up as solo proprietor but I don't think that's the issue)

But I didn't realize I was using the local IP address to log in. the guides never mentioned this! nor did my stupid head realize this!

Next day, I get a notification from Stripe that they will be shutting down my account 14 days from now. They took issue with the fact that I was logging in from an unsupported country.

Now they're asking me for TWO things, or else they will shut down the account!
i) consistent login activity from USA (easy)
ii) US document such as utility bill or similar to confirm the listed address (impossible given I'm not from the US)

What should I do?
Should I ditch this account and start over?
OR should I continue using this account but with a US IP address and pretend this whole thing never happened?
 
You mess things up, mate. Bt I believe you've learned your lessons now. Next time, you will be careful AMD get a residential ip running before you use a stealth payment gateway.

I will simply ditch the account. It's not worth anything again since they detected you. And the horror side of it is they might decide to freeze or suspend your account and you lose all your money.

Move your money and run! My 2cents.

Thanks for replying:
My only concern is,
Can I sign up for the new Stripe account using the same settings I used for the old Stripe account, but this time with a US IP address? Or do think this wil be an issue?

I won't advise you use the same account credentials. You may get a new account on a different ID.

Always use a reliable residential proxy. Residential proxies are not cheap though. But if you're on a tight budget, you may try 911[dot]re and use proxifier standard edition with it.

This will allow hep you save money as you won't have to buy proxies monthly. It is pay per credits plan. One credit can be spent in 24 hours. If you don't want to use your credits for years, it will never expire.

Of course, you would want to use a USA proxy. Save the proxy you use to sign up in a notepad so that you can always refer to this and loggin with it anytime you want to login. This makes for consistency and avoid suspicious triggers.

Which residential proxy would you recommend? Does ExpressVPN work?

No. VPNs won't work and can raise a flag. Real residential ips software that you can install in your pc. Then run your browser in it. I mentioned that you may buy from 911.re, configure and use it along with proxifier.

This makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the info. I only wish the guides had mentioned this earlier and saved me the extra time : (
 
Ditch that account asap and start a new one using completely new data, a clean IP and likely a virtual machine or at least a newly installed browser.
They already busted you and whatever you do from now on won't matter. Even if you supplied them with the documentation chances are they'd still lock your account one day or another.
You can order fake document scans/photo but discussing this is beyond BHW rules and still I wouldn't suggest that route since your account already got flagged.
 
I would suggest you to get a cheap windows VPS to do this again!
 
Hi,
The only issue is, my identity verification document is my passport. I can't get someone else's passport and will have to use the same one for identification purposes.

Also, could you point out a reliable vps I could use?

Do you know with certainty that I can't use the same credentials for a new account?

Can anyone here help me with a free socks that can be used to open a POF account? Please
 
OP, what exactly do you sell with Stripe? eBooks, softwares, subscriptions?

Lol off course I'm sure. Your credentials are going to be blacklisted by the company.
Now you can gamble and try and create a new account with same name (shortly after your account gets goshed), but I wouldn't estimate your chances higher than 5% and if you already submitted your documents probability of success is even lower.

Good point. Still the OP needs a residential IP since datacenter IPs are flagged and he should look after installing an OS used by normal people such as windows 10 or 7 instead of Windows server that is likely to be installed on the VPS by default. Many providers have an option to install the OS from arbitrary ISO but it is better to consult before than deal with some troubles
