Change of country

I moved back to the UK from Spain in 2014 and haven't used paypal for years! I have just sold two items on ebay and my paypal account shows my old Spanish bank account. I have just read that I can't change to a UK account and have to close this paypal account!  I really hope that's incorrect as I have no idea how to go about it.  A bit of a technophobe so if anyone can help please, it would be gratefully received!

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.
