Living between two countries - how can i add both an american and a UK card?

Hi all,

 

I think I'm being a bit dim here, but I had a bit of a struggle. I currently have my UK card tied into my paypal (which I want to retain as I use this to send things to my grandmother in England), but I am in the USA for this year. I tried to add my USA card but it wouldn't recognise it as American. I want to be able to use PayPal over here as well.

 

Do I need two separate accounts or is there a better way to do this?

 

Thanks, sorry if I'm missing the obvious!

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 bank accounts from within that country.

The only exception is U.S users can add their bank accounts to other countries paypal accounts.
