Hi

 

I am from the UK then moved to Spain, now live in France but moving back to the UK, complex I know, but the issue should be simple to solve but for life of me I can not find the settting that obviously must be therre it would be stupid if it is not.

 

Since my time in Spain all notifications for Paypal and Ebay changed to Spanish, both ones I recieve and ones sent from me. This was annoying at the time but after weeks of trying to sory=t it I gave up, I have lived in France for 2,5 years now and in all that time PP and Ebay have not felt enclined to switch to French or back to English, so with my upcomming return to the UK I have to assume it will still remain in Spanish.

 

How do I chose the language I wan notifications sent in? See simple know there has to be a drop down menu somewhere to select this, but it is well hidden.

 

Thanks

I am not 100% sure but I belive I had to close both ebay and Paypal in Spain to open new accounts so I couls add Spanish details, but when I moved to France I do not remember doing so again, and I have now updated EBAY to be UK, but paypal I can only find answers such as delete the account and open a new one, I tryed that however and it always says BEFORE YOU GO.... There has been an unexpected error please try again later, so far searching the comunity and even emailing PayPal support 9Who after a week have still not responded) has resulted in even an explination as to why I get the error, so either I open a new email account and paypal for the UK then link it to ebay or I can no longer use either.

before you move to a new country,you should wrap up your old account like removing any card or bank and paypal balances if you want to use them in your new account.

once you settle in your new country,you should use that country paypal acount instead of going back and forth among accounts as it would raise Paypal security thinking your account has been hacked.

Paypal is a an affordable payment processor,cheaper than wire transfer and private banking,it is not tailored to suit indvidual cases.

now you are in UK,open a UK account,call UK Paypal customer service if you have questions.

Hi Sumiko

 

Thanks for your reply, I have removed all bank accounts and cards, but want to use new ones for my UK account anyway. I did not hold much hope that the solution was that simple.

 

I did email but after a week I guess I can safley assume they will never respond, so yes calling thenm might be best.

 

Alex
