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??

Strange how most everyone else can manage to open a correct countries account.

When you click to register a Paypal account U.S country is at the top (as Paypal is a U.S company).

You click on the arrow on the side and scroll down to your OWN country and open your countries account.

Not exactly rocket science nearly 200 million folks so far have managed to do it so far so hardly Paypals fault if you couldn't.

Why would you think you have to select a U.S state if you don't live in the U.S????

Thats impossible, when you click to register there is ALWAYS a list of countries, the fact that you didn't click to select the correct one is your issue and not paypals.

It will only let you close your paypal (in my case so I can use paypal in the UK, which it wont allow since I have paypal in the States) it asks for a bank account!  I dont feel like taking that risk.

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 add a U.S bank account (not card) to 'most' other countries paypal accounts. This is because paypal is a U.S company and so allows this.
