Linking UK bank account to US PayPal

[Curtis91]

Hi, I have a question regarding linking my UK bank account to a new US Paypal account. I am traveling to the united states and intend to set up a US Paypal account and want to link it to my UK bank account. I have been told this is possible if I call and ask to have this done. I am wondering tho is it possible to then use a PayPal debit card and withdraw money via ATM's etc and would this come at any cost? Also what way will tranfering my money from my UK bank account to my US Paypal work, is it a simple tranfer into my wallet?

Thanks in advance for any help

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.

The only exception is U.S users can add their bank accounts to other countries paypal accounts and Canadian users can add a US bank account.

Hi

So if we hold an american Paypal account and we live outside that was incorrect to setup in the first place? I have the same issue. I want funds from Paypal to be withdrawn into a UK account but my current paypal.com account wont allow that? So if I have to set up a UK paypal account which website would I then need to use to set it up? I already have one paypal account?
