Bank account and address in different countries

Hi. I have a UK bank account, but currently live in Germany. The address linked tof my UK bank account is the German one. PayPal doesn't seem to allow that. Let me make this clear - it is a UK bank account and a UK PayPal account. My UK bank has no problem with the fact I currently reside in Germany for work. But it looks like PayPal does. I can't open a German PayPal account because my bank is British.

 

Is there a way around this at all? thanks in advance.

You can't have a german address on a Uk paypal account as paypal is country specific.

Thanks for the reply, but  this is ridiculous. My UK bank doesn't have a problem with that, why should PayPal? The EU is all about free movement of labour after all.

 

Gosh I hate PayPal, they are only in it to fleece their customers without providing a proper service, and the website is like a relic from 1999
