I emigrated to New Zealand over 2 years ago and have changed my address in Paypal. however I can't remove UK from my address and have to clarify every time I buy something that postage is to NZ and not to just print the address off PayPal. Any ideas??

but what if you have money on the account... it was by accident that somehow I managed to get a UK account (I live in the USA)... and someone sent me money to this account -- they mistakenly put the wrong email... and now I'm not sure how to get the money out, it won't even let me send to my other PayPal account. the whole thing is very weird.

I don't see why I should have a new account for changing country?
I have a German account and I have USD, Euro, and Pound in my wallets. I am going to the UK.
So, why I cannot use my account when I am at the UK?
Couldn't I login an make payment?

You can certainly try, when it goes wrong or you get issues then call customer services as it would be pointless posting on here when you have already said you don't see the point of changing paypal accounts when you move countries.

You have been given an answer and told why you would have issues, you chose not to take that advice so if you don't want to change your account when you move countries OR use a country specific paypal account in another country then thats your choice isn't it.

I just made an account and it didn't give me an option to chose a country it forced me to choose a state from the USA and now you tell me I can't change country wow the main problem it gave me phone number is invalid in-country so I can't link to my business account you are basically forcing me to go for different provider, at first I felt its weird that everyone on youtube doesn't recommend Paypal for business now I get it
