    I'm experiencing some issues with setting up the Mexican paypal/bank, and maybe it's because I'm not there, I'm here, in Canada.

    Is there a way to hack it I wonder?

    If you know how to use a proxy server, you can google "free proxy server mexico" and go through one of those to fool Paypal. If not, then you will need someone in Mexico to open the account for you. You would have to give them your basic personal info, then just change your password the first time you enter your account. You only need name, address, birth date and phone number to open an account. Once the account is opened, you can access it from any country. Then, you can link your Mexican bank from up there. I access my American and my Mexican account at the same time down here.

    Don't know of any other way.

    My Wife and I use Ria regularly to send money from Vancouver to Mexico.

    Anything under a thousand dollars is quick and easy. It costs but is cheaper than other services. It can be received at a number of Mexican banks.

    Best bet is to find a latino market. A lot provide the service.

    If you have any other questions I can try to help. I can double check the answers with my wife.
