I'm trying to transfer money though by using someone's email and it's not working. My account has been verified so i don't understand the problem. My card is American but i'm living in France and making a payment to England in British pounds...soo that might be the issue. Any suggestions?

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

You are supposed to withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts before you leave your old country. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved.

The only exception is U.S expats can add their bank accounts (not card) to other countries paypal accounts (paypal is a U.S company so they allow their citizens to do this).
