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??

Just so you know, requiring this is just plain stupid. I'm just in US for 3 months and I need to close my paypal account to use my US card, or create a disposable mail. Just plain stupid.

Hi jeronimo_arg,

 

I'm sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you. PayPal is country specific so we can't allow cross over of financial information on accounts.

 

Thanks,

Sarah

I don't get it: - PayPal can't afford the budget to fix a bug - Somebody in PayPal management made a mistake and is not man (/ woman) enough to admit it Sine is possible with other money transfer companies to store card information from different countries, is clear there is no international law forbidding it.

Due to the problem I faced .I wasn't able to buy with my paypal even if it has my full  name and everything.I made a mistake when I created this account .I choose France as my country I thought at that moment that this was for the preferred language but unfortunately  this has led to a big problem . Paypal told me that I should provide them with documents like number and a certificate but I couldn't do it because it's for France and not for my country .After all these years I wasn't able to unblock it .

This is frustrating. I read somewhere that a person can have two paypal accounts as long as one of them is not business, and so I am trying to open a new one as I have changed countries and somehow I can close the old one, but when I try to open a new one Paypal says my email is already used. So how do I create this new one as I have already closed my bank account with the old country and removed it and the old primary address from Paypal. I have spent almost the whole day trying to figure out this please assist.

Seriously? no way to add a second country without new emails and new bank accounts?

 

 

Looks like I'll be using bitcoin then.
