Can I transfer my account to a different country?

Hi Everyone, I opened my account in australia but moved to Germany a few years ago. I don’t have bank accounts in australia anymore and PayPal won’t let me link my German account, I can only use my German credit card but if I want to have someone send me money, I need a bank account. Do I need to close my paypal account and open a new one or is it possible to change my location so that I have a German Paypal account?

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 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.
