Get a virtual server (shouldn't cost you more than $10 a month) in the US which you RDP into when you need to log into Paypal. You could also set it up with VPN and use any other computer as long as it has VPN software installed.

To clarify: this should prevent your Paypal account from being locked as they not only see that your IP is in the US, but that it's the same every time.

I tried that before with the VPS that runs my app. Problem is they are granular down to the city. My PP address is in Illionis and I've had it frozen when accessing it from San Francisco.
