paypal, not "from" iran or nor "for" iranians?

Here is what I got when I tried to log-on to my PayPal account: "Error 3029. Due to US economic sanctions you are not authorized to access the PayPal system. You can obtain further information from PayPal at 1-888-221-1161 or 402-935-7733 or from the Office of Foreign Assets Control at www.treas.gov/ofac." Is this because I'm in Iran now? Because i was working with my account from Toronto easily, with no trouble at all! Posted by hoder at August 10, 2002 4:45 AM
