Sorry to hear that, Victor. 

 

Is your PayPal account also registered in South Africa?

Hi Jes

 

I registered the account in 2008, it's registered as a US account. How do i close the acciunt, re-register with a South African account, and transfer my funds to the new  account?

I see.  In that case, the bets thing may be to create you new account by selecting "Sign up" in the following link

Then you can send the funds to that account and close the old one going to "Profile", then My Settings and selecting Close account. Pleas make sure that you remove your financial details before you close your account. 

 

Hope this helps.

Hi Jes,

 

Thank you for your assistance. Problem is that i want to continue using the same email address. If i open a new account with a different email address, will i be able to later on to use my current email address on the new account?

Once you close the old account, you can add the same email address to a new PayPal account 🙂
