How do I change my paypal account country?

Hello, I've had my PP account for awhile, set to business, but have moved to a different country. I can't find an option to change it.

 

It seems that it being set to Croatia makes it impossible for me to use my Austrian debit Mastercard for transfers and unable to add anything but a US bank account, which I of course don't have. I am currently unable to withdraw the money from my account.

 

Please send help

Paypal is country specific so if you move countries you have to open another paypal account in the country you reside in and add an address / phone number / bank accounts / cards from within that country.

You should really withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts / cancel any subscriptions and close the old Paypal account before you move countries. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved and may need to contact customer services for help to resolve things.

You can however in some countries add a U.S bank account (not card) to your paypal account. This is because paypal is a U.S company.
