Adding a foreign card to your paypal account

Hi community, I'm from the UK and I set up my paypal account in the UK. My card connected to paypal is also from the UK. I am currently living in Mexico, however, when trying to add my Mexican bank card it asked me to provide the billing address but it only allows UK state / county options. Does anybody know how I can get around this? Or if it's even possible to add a foreign card to my paypal account? Thanks so much!

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.

I have a UK account etc, but also spend a lot of timem in Australia. I tried setting up an australia pp a/c, but it wouldn't allow me to put in my 'global' email address, as it was 'already in use' Any ideas? Thanks

As your email address identifies your paypal account then you can't have the same email address for x2 paypal accounts.

Thats like having 2 bank accounts with the same number !!
