A U.S account is useless to you as paypal is country specific so you need to close that account (if you can) and open another one in the correct country.

Sadly you won't ever be able to claim the funds from another countries paypal account.
If the funds are not claimed they would be showing as that on the senders paypal account and time out 30 days post payment and go back to them.
If its showing as completed then they would have to open a dispute for non receipt of item to get their funds back again.
Then they can pay to your new account in the correct country?

this will a problem because my paypal account balance is about 1000 USD and i cant send this money on different paypal account or on debit card because when i fill information for pay i received popup with text:
There’s a problem with your account. Please go to the Resolution Center so we can help you resolve any limitations on your account.
I understand that i have paypal account with wrong nationality but this problem i cant solve about 1 year. Is this problem solvable ?
i cant find contact information for paypal support

The laws applicable to PayPal accounts differ by country and region. So, you can't change your address to a country that is different from the country you used when you opened your account. If you're moving abroad, you'll need to close your existing account and open a new account.
Regards,
Will
