Linking a US bank account to US PayPal account is obviously a new policy which does not affect older accounts.
According to what PayPal people say, there's no other way to really activate a US account.

I think they feared that Obama could be disguised as dpierron (a not too France profonde nick) at mobileread.com .
I have some reserves as to give my cc number here and there.
Anyway, I might give a try to this method too. I'll use Schwarzeneger's address, just in case... Thanks
