Bank transfer VIA paypal?

Hi,

 

I'm going to go work abroad for a few months and I will get paid in a bank account there.

 

I was wondering if I link my bank account abroad to my paypal account, could I add money from my abroad bank account into my PayPal balance, and then withdraw money from my balance into my local bank account? My local bank account is already linked to my PayPal.

If so, are there fees?

Thank you!

Paypal is country specific so if you move country you have to open another paypal account in that country and add an address / phone number / and financial info ie bank accounts and cards from within that country.

The only exception is U.S users can add their bank accounts to other countries paypal accounts but you have to contact customer services for them to do it for you.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Thank for the answer. Too bad. Then it would just be like sending money to anohter user? I think a bank transfer would be less expensive then.
