Merging accounts after having lived and opening PayPal's in two different countries

[Missycryzy]

I used to live in Australia and I opened an Australian PayPal now having lived back in New Zealand for several years I am wanting just the one account but my Australian PayPal has credit on it and needs me to verify documents and link accounts etc to use the credit, I don't have current documents from Australia as I moved out of that country over 3 years ago

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.
