[foodhackingbase] money issue - how to get access to our PayPal cash when the account is limited

[Ingo Weidauer]

Hello,

I maybe have two options to offer. :)

First Option:
Is there is any (legal) chance that someone else can get the money in  
Ireland from the account with an authorization from you?
My sister lives in Dublin. I could ask her if she would withdraw the  
money and send it to you via her bank account. But we have to check  
limitations from her side as well

Another option:
Some friends of her work/worked (I currently do not know) for paypal  
in Dublin.
But I have to ask her.


Sincerely,
Ingo
