They refuse to validate the account, even though I followed their
instructions and sent them all the information they requested by fax.  As
far as I can tell, the reason they haven't validated the account is that
they are too stupid to understand how anything outside Omaha actually works,
and they are unwilling to learn.

Yes.  That is my situation also.  The problem is that the "numbers" PayPal
uses are non-standard information that is not necessarily carried in
transactions passed to foreign banks (store numbers, specifically--they are
stripped when transactions reach my account).  Explaining this to them seems
to have no effect.
