Living in Australia

[Jennicc]

I am a British Citizen currently living and working in Australia, Naturally i have a bank account here too. When I try to update my Paypal details paypal wont accept new details, stating that they are "invalid" because they are not British. I did try opening a second paypal acount, Paypal au. But when I enter my email address PayPal detects that I already have a paypal account and takes me to that and then I'm back to square one. Please help me? There must be some kind of solution? Spending online will be just as necessary here as it was in the UK. Yours Sincerely Jenni

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 can re-use your email address but you would need to close your UK account first to release it as you can't have the same email address identifying x2 Paypal accounts.

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.
