I changed my home address and the confirming e-mail from Paypal has the wrong info.  I went back and checked my profile. My profile is correct.  How can I contact Paypal to resolve this?   Using Help or contact us gets me no where.

Hi r3dg3ckorob,

 

Welcome to the Community Forum! To change the country of your account, you'll need to close the account and open a new one in the correct country. Our system is country-specific, and as the functionality is different for each country where we're offered, it's necessary to close your account when you move to a new country.

 

Before you close your account, make sure that you withdraw any money on your balance and then remove all financial information.

 

You can close your account by clicking on 'Profile', then 'My account settings' and choosing 'Close account' in the 'Account Type' section on the next page.

 

Thanks,

Sophie

Hi PanosV,

 

Once you have closed your account you will be able to use the same email address on your new account.

I closed my Paypal account when I learned I would be moving to a diffrent address I believed this would  stop any confusion' when I had moved to the new address I opened up a new Paypal account ( or so I thought ) after purchasing a item everything seem to of gone well until I checked my emails, I noticed the item I had purchased was being delivered to my old address ! of course I sent a message to the seller ..hoping the item had not been sent yet. I know it was partly my own fault as I had not checked the delivery address before confirming....but I did not believe there was any need as I had already changed the address on my account when giving my card details to PayPal

Hi smilzeee62,

 

When you close an account and open up a new one we don't transfer over any details.

 

If you were buying on eBay or a website that you have used before it is possible that your old address was stored there.

 

Check with the website to make sure that your address is correct for the future so you don't have the worry about this happening again.

 

Let me know how you get on.
