Hi, I recently moved to Spain after having registered paypal with a UK address and when I attempt to update the address so that i can register a Spanish card it does not let me. Is there a way that I can do this, if so your help would be appreciated.

 

Cheers,
Xavier

Hi there xavaloy,

 

When you move to another country, you need to close your old PayPal account and create a new account using your new address. It is not possible to change the country registered to your address.

 

If you reside in both countries, you can keep your old PayPal account and create a new one, but only one of your accounts (if any) should be a Business account.

If I sell stuff on eBay and use a personal, non-business account (this is what I have been recommended), based in the UK and then I move to Uruguay, how can I open an account in Uruguay that uses GBP and move all of my money there (so I can continue to be able to sell goods to UK-based buyers)?

 

What if someone has several businesses. One in one country, one in another. Do PayPal rules make it forbidden for them to have several PayPal accounts?

 

Is there any way to 'link' PayPal accounts in the same way how someone can check two different bank accounts when banking online?

Hi there chesterrex,

 

It is not possible at this time in order for you to have the same email address registered on two different PayPal accounts. If you have moved to Australia, you could consider closing the account that you had registered in the UK and you could then register a new account in Australia with your email address. This will work for you without any problems and you will be able to use your email address on your new Australian account.

 

I hope this helps,

 

David.

I live in Scandinavia but I can't get a new Bank Account here, so how can I open a PayPal account in this new country? My current account is in my home country.
