I moved to Thailand

Hi

 

I'm buying some stamps from a UK dealer and changed my delivery address to Thailand. When I try and pay, Paypal says "we don't deliver to that country". But that's where I now live. I'm paying insurance to the dealer so what does it matter where I live. How can I get around this?

Do you have a UK paypal account or a Thai paypal account?

I have a UK Paypal account. I can't read the language so going on to Thai Paypal is not helpful. It's only a delivery address. I added it through the proper channels, all signed on with correct password etc. This also implies that I couldn't send something I'd bought to a mate elsewhere in the world.

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.

OK, thanks anyway.

 

I still have my UK phone and don't have a Thai bank account. Why would I need one? Don't see the point of going to all that trouble on Paypal just for a delivery address. It's not that there's any money at risk and I understand what's happening while I use the UK Paypal. Thai Paypal would be OK if all goes smoothly it's when something happens that the problems would start.
