hello guys,
so I'm facing this issue: initially, I created my Paypal account in Greece, but I recently moved to the US permanently. Does anyone know how to change the location settings so maybe I could receive a physical Paypal card as well?? (the card feature was not supported in Greece, hence I don't have one)
Thank you in advance

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 / and bank accounts from within that country.
You are supposed to withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts before you leave your old country. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

oh, I see. Thank you so much.
So If I got this right, I can't open a new account with the same email address without having closed the Greek one first. Correct?

I have a similar problem. I originally set up a PayPal account when I lived in the US. I now moved to the UK and need to set up a new PayPal account for the UK. However, I still use the same - and only- email address. PayPal won't allow me to set up a new account under that email, as I already have an account under the same email. Do I need to set up a whole new email just to make a new PayPal account? Is there a way to cancel my old PayPal account and set up a new one using the same email address? @kernowlass do you have any advice for me? Thanks for your help!

@kernowlass One other detail I should add is because I am in the UK without access to my US mobile number I used to set up my account, I cannot even log into my US account. It is prompting me to receive a text for security reasons, which I am unable to do from the UK. It will not allow me to add a UK number as it is a US account.
