Need to change address to different country, primary card, and be allowed to repay outstanding debt

I recently made a payment via paypal for the first time in eons.

I set up paypal in 2011 when i lived in the UK and now I am in Singapore.

Apparently the payment exchange rate or so was very high so I ended up with 0.28 GBP in debt (despite checking solvency in advance).

Regardless, I need to pay this minor amount of money back BUT

- i don't live in the UK anymore

- the bank account linked to paypal does not exist anymore

- I added my new foreign visa but cannot make transfers with this for some reason

 

Basically I want to pay them back but cannot.

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.

You are supposed to withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts before you leave your old country. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved.
