How to edit my phone number

[Motlad]

Good day house I was living in United Arab Emirates before Corona virus...but before lock down I travel to my home country which is Nigeria and now I have some funds I want to withdraw to my Nigeria Visa card but the issue now is that PayPal will call my UAE number for verification even when all my details during registration bears Nigeria identity...My questions now is how can I edit my phone number from UAE to Nigeria for verification... Thanks

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.

HOWEVER the option to 'receive' paypal payments is not available in Nigeria so paypal would be unable to transfer any funds for you.

Your best bet is to get the person that sent the funds to open a dispute to get their money back and then pay you another way.
