Online Survey Sites from abroad

Does anyone know if you can use any of the online survey sites from abroad? I looked at one website and it said you must be in the UK so presumably they check your ISP. I am looking into doing surveys but am abroad at the moment (though I do have UK address). Also I would need a company that pays via PayPal as cheques and vouchers are not much use to me
Thanks

I use OnePoll, PureProfile and ViewsBank with no problems.0 -
Thanks - I didn't want to spend hours registering with sites etc to find that I couldnt use them! If anyone has info on any others (just those who pay cash ie PayPal) then I would be grateful to hear from you!0

FOrgot to say - Î'm not sure if all 3 of those pay by PayPal (onepoll definitely do) - some might be bank transfer only - I've still got a UK bank account, so that isn't a problem for me, but might be for you0 -
Sorry another question. I had a look at Pure Profile and they automatically picked up the country I am in and I can register as being there. But is there any benefit to registering as being abroad or alternatively to being in the UK? Eg I may not get selected for surveys in the country I am in but I am still 'relevant' in the Uk as I have not been away that long. Is the pay any different in different countries? I couldn;t see the answers anywhere on their site as presumably they want people to do things their way and not try to 'cheat' them by giving wrong info. Also as I spent time in both countries I am not lying in a way, as I am familiar with both countries. Hope this all makes sense!0

It is a while since I registered for PureProfile, but I'm sure I just changed the country to UK and it let me register.0 -
Yes I just did the same with Pure Profile just now0
